On Bounded Control of A Class of Feedforward Nonlinear Time-Delay Systems^⁎

For the global stabilization of a family of feedforward nonlinear time-delay systems with linearized identical oscillators, a saturated feedback control is established based on a special canonical form for the considered system. The proposed control laws use not only the current states but also the delayed states for feedback, and, moreover, contain some free parameters. These advantages can help to improve the transient performance of the closed-loop system significantly. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
