This book focuses on adaptive iterative learning control problem for nonlinear time-delay systems.A universal adaptive learning control scheme is provided for a wide classes of nonlinear systems with time-varying delay and input nonlinearity. Proceeding from easy to difficult, this book deals with the adaptive iterative learning control problems for parameterized nonlinear time-delay systems, non-parameterized nonlinear time-delay systems, nonlinear time-delay systems with unknown control direction and nonlinear time-delay systems with un-measurable states. The proposed control schemes can be...
