This preprint studies an RBF neural network disturbance observer–based anti-saturation backstepping controller for hypersonic vehicles subject to input saturation and multiple disturbances, with the overall goal of improving tracking performance and robustness. Using finite-time tracking differentiators to address “exploding complexity” in backstepping, the authors report higher tracking accuracy and tracking speed, and they estimate lumped disturbances related to aerodynamic uncertainties and external disturbances via multivariable neural network observers. To reduce the impact of input saturation and shorten saturation duration, they introduce an adaptive fixed-time anti-saturation compensator. The paper is a simulation-focused preprint and explicitly notes it has not been peer reviewed, and it does not provide evidence beyond those simulations. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract This study proposes a radial basis function neural network disturbance observer (RBFNNDO) based anti-saturation backstepping controller for hypersonic vehicles with input saturations and multiple disturbances. Firstly, in response to the problem of “exploding complexity” in backstepping controller, we adopted finite-time tracking differentiators (FTD), which realized higher tracking accuracy and tracking speed than those of the existing methods. Secondly, we developed multivariable neural network disturbance observers to estimate the lumped disturbances involving aerodynamic uncertainties and external disturbances, thereby improving the robustness of the proposed controller. Thirdly, in order to alleviate the input saturation and minimize the duration time, we used an adaptive fixed-time anti-saturation compensator (AFAC). The simulation results have proven that our proposed backstepping controller outperforms other existing methods in terms of control performance and saturation time.
