Command Filtered Backstepping
Abstract
Implementation of backstepping becomes increasingly complex as the order of the system increases. This increasing complexity is mainly driven by the need to compute command derivatives at each step of the design, with the ultimate step requiring derivatives of the same order as the plant. This article addresses a modification that obviates the need to compute analytic derivatives by introducing command filters in the backstepping design. While the concept of the command filter has previously been introduced in the literature, the main contribution of this technical note is the rigorous analysis of the effect of the command filter on closed-loop stability and performance, and a proof of stability based on Tikhonov's theorem. The implementation approach includes a compensated tracking error that retains the standard stability properties of backstepping approaches.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
