Prediction-based control for nonlinear state- and input-delay systems with the aim of delay-robustness analysis

— This paper investigates prediction-based control for nonlinear systems subject to both pointwise input- and (potentially) distributed state-delays. We address infinity-norm stability analysis of the corresponding closed-loop system reformulating both delays as transport Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and transforming the resulting distributed state. We show how the performed analysis can be extended to establish robustness to delay uncertainties. We illustrate the merit of this design with numerical simulation of a prey-predator population dynamics.
