The mixed H2/H∞tracking performance ensures both robust stability under a prescribed attenuation level for external disturbance and H2optimal tracking. The neural network was introduced to adaptively estimate nonlinear uncertainties, improving the system’s performance under parameter uncertainties as well as obtaining the H2/H∞tracking performance. The simulation shows that the control method performs better even when the system is under large modeling uncertainties and external disturbances.展开更多
