F. Blanchini et Ep. Ryan, A Razumikhin-type lemma for functional differential equations with application to adaptive control, AUTOMATICA, 35(5), 1999, pp. 809-818
A lemma of Razumikhin type, pertaining to boundedness of solutions of funct
ional differential equations, is presented. This lemma is subsequently invo
ked in the analysis of adaptive strategies that guarantee approximate track
ing, with prescribed asymptotic error bound, of reference signals of Sobole
v class W-1,W-infinity for two classes of uncertain systems modelled by con
trolled nonlinear functional differential equations. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scie
