Neural Network Enhancement of Closed-Loop Controllers for Ill-Modeled Systems with Unknown Nonlinearities

The nonlinearities of a nonlinear system can degrade the performance of a closed-loop system. In order to improve the performance of the closed-loop system, an adaptive technique, using a neural network, was developed. A neural network is placed in series between the output of the fixed-gain contr...
