Global Practical Tracking by Output Feedback for Nonlinear Systems with Unknown Growth Rate and Time Delay by Xuehua Yan, Xinmin Song

“…Motivated by the related tracking results and flexibly using the ideas and techniques of universal control and dead zone, an adaptive output-feedback tracking controller is explicitly designed with the help of a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, to make the tracking error prescribed arbitrarily small after a finite time while keeping all the closed-loop signals bounded. …”
