Robust Adaptive Dynamic Surface Control for a Class of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems with Unknown Hysteresis by Yong-Hua Liu, Ying Feng, Xinkai Chen

“…In order to handle the undesirable effects caused by unknown hysteresis, the properties in respect to Duhem model are used to decompose it as a nonlinear smooth term and a nonlinear bounded “disturbance-like” term, which makes it possible to deal with the unknown hysteresis without constructing inverse in the controller design. By combining robust control and dynamic surface control technique, an adaptive controller is proposed in this paper to avoid “the explosion complexity” in the standard backstepping design procedure. …”
