Novel Output Tracking Approach For A Class Of Linear Neutral Systems

In this paper, a novel output tracking approach is proposed for a class of linear neutral systems. Dynamic equations of the error signal and the desired output are constructed on the basis of the considered system. An augmented error system is deduced to make use of the desired output in control design. And a delay-independent controller is derived for the augmented error system. Control design of the original system contains feedback of the state, integrals of the desired output and error signals in this paper. Finally, an illustrative example is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed control design.
