Adaptive Neural Network Control for Nonlinear Hydraulic Servo-System with Time-Varying State Constraints by Shu-Min Lu, Dong-Juan Li

“…Meanwhile, compared with constant constraints, the time-varying state constraints are more general in the actual systems. Therefore, when the states of the system are forced to obey bounded time-varying constraint conditions, the high precision tracking performance of the system can be easily realized. …”
