Simultaneous assessment of cortisol levels in saliva, hair and fingernail specimens in depressive and healthy people

This paper concentrates on the adaptive tracking control problem for a class of switched nonlinear systems in nonstrict-feedback form with uncertain actuator backlash. The switching signal considered in our model is arbitrary. The adaptive tracking controller design procedure is divided into three parts. Firstly, a novel fuzzy backlash model is presented to describe the uncertain backlash. Then, the fuzzy backlash is defuzzified and approximated...
