Global adaptive output feedback control for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems with unknown homogeneous growth rates

This article focuses on the adaptive output feedback stabilization for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems whose drift and diffusion terms satisfy homogeneous growth conditions. Since the homogeneous growth rates are unknown, two dynamic gains are coupled into the full-order homogeneous observer. By virtue of adding a power integrator technique and the homogeneity theory, two adaptive laws and a homogeneous output feedback controller are designed. Based on the celebrated nonnegative semimartingale convergence theorem and the general stochastic Barbaiat's lemma, it is indicated that all the signals of the closed-loop system are bounded almost surely, and all the system states of the closed-loop system converge to origin almost surely. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by means of both numerical and practical examples.
