INTR ODUCTION Order -2 nonlinear systems constitute a fundamental and ubiquitous class of systems in control en- gineering, which are used to model di v erse ph ysical phenomena ranging from electromechanical de vices to v ehicle dynamics [1]. Precise trajectory tracking control for such systems remains challenging because of their inherent nonlinearities. While adv anced control techniques such as optimal control [2], rob ust control [3], and sliding mode control [4] ha v e emer ged, proportional-inte gral-deri v ati v e (PID) control remains widely used in industry o wing to i ts structural simplicity and intuiti v e tuning [5]–[7]. Ho we v er , its performance can de grade signicantly for systems with strong nonlinearities or comple x reference signals, primarily because it does not e xplicitly use model kno wledge and its parameters are usually selected empirically [8], [9]. T o adapt PID controllers for nonlinear systems, v arious tuning and stability frame w orks ha v e been de- v eloped. F or instance, internal-model-control tuning methods often simplify comple x nonlinear dynamics into lo w-order linear systems with time delays, potentially de grading transient performance [10]. T o further guar - antee stability without o v er -simplication, parameter -manifold approaches were proposed to achie v e global or semi-global stabilization for order -2 and n -dimensional nonlinear systems [11]–[12].

IAES Int J Rob & Autom ISSN: 2722-2586 ❒ 691 established a solid theoretical foundation for PID-based nonlinear control, their control la ws remain tied to classical PID structures and empirical g ain selection. This paper addresses the control of an order -2 SISO af ne-in-control nonlinear system by proposing and analyzing a zeroing neurodynamics PID (ZN-PID) controller deri v ed from the zeroing neurodynamics for - mula [13]–[17]. The ef fecti v eness of the ZN formula has been v alidated in numerous applications [18]–[21]. The core contrib ution is the inte gration of e xact model-based linearization [22]–[24] with a reformulated PID structure. The con v entional PID g ains are redened through ZN parameters and directly related to the closed- loop pole locations. The benchmark in v erted pendulum, which e xhibits strong geometric nonlinearity , is se- lected as the representati v e system. The zer oing neurodynamics PID controller design methodology le v erages recursi v ely dened zeroing functions to construct a higher -order error dynamic. By strate gically setting a specic zeroing function to zero and incorporating the e xact kno wledge of the system dynamics, we deri v e the general control la w . This la w naturally decomposes into a model compensation term responsible for linearizing the plant dynamics and a PID control term ensuring asymptotic error con v er gence. Crucially , the parameters of the zeroing neurodynamics PID controller (i.e., λ 1 , λ 2 , and λ 3 ) are transformed into equi v alent PID g ains (i.e., K p , K d , and K i ), and a direct correspondence between these parameters and the closed-loop poles of the resulting order -3 error dy- namics is established. This intrinsic link pro vides a theoretically grounded alternati v e to the often cumbersome trial-and-error tuning associated with con v entional PID controllers. Simulation studies compare the proposed controller with a con v entionally tuned PID controller [25] on the in v erted pendulum. The results sho w superior tracking by ZN-PID for lar ge initial of fsets and constant references. In particular , the ZN-PID controller maintains the pendulum equilibrium under high-amplitude references, whereas the con v entional PID controller loses balance because of the s e v ere geometric nonlinearity . The remainder of this paper is structured as follo ws. Section 2 introduces the general model of order -2 systems and the in v erted pendulum model.

ORDER-2 SYSTEM AND INVER TED PENDULUM In this section, the general form of an order -2 system and the in v erted pendulum model are gi v en. First, the general form of a SISO af ne-in-control order -2 system is described as, ˙ x 1 ( t ) = x 2 ( t ) , ˙ x 2 ( t ) = f ( x 1 ( t ) , x 2 ( t )) + g ( x 1 ( t ) , x 2 ( t )) u ( t ) , y ( t ) = x 1 ( t ) , (1) where x 1 ( t ) ∈ R , x 2 ( t ) ∈ R , and x ( t ) = [ x 1 ( t ) , x 2 ( t )] T are state v ariables of the system; u ( t ) ∈ R denotes the control input of the system; y ( t ) ∈ R denotes the output of the syste m; f : R × R → R and g : R × R → R \{ 0 } are transformation functions of state v ariables, and g ( x 1 ( t ) , x 2 ( t )) is a positi v e or ne g ati v e coef cient term. Gi v en an order -2 system described by (1) and a desired output (reference signal) y d ( t ) ∈ R , our goal is to nd a u ( t ) as input, which mak es the output tracking error e ( t ) = y d ( t ) − y ( t ) approach zero. F or simplicity , in the remainder of this section, x 1 ( t ) and x 2 ( t ) are abbre viated as x 1 and x 2 , respecti v ely . All system parameters are real numbers. The in v erted pendulum system [26] is formulated as an order -2 nonlinear system within the st ructure of (1). The state v ariable x 1 is the angular displacement of the pendulum from the v ertical equilibrium, and x 2 is the angular v elocity . The force applied to the cart is the control input u ( t ) . Then, the functions f ( x 1 , x 2 ) and Zer oing neur odynamics pr oportional-inte gr al-derivative contr oller for or der -2 system ...

ZER OING NEUR OD YN AMICS PID CONTR OLLER In this section, the general ZN-PID design procedure and its in v erted-pendulum formulation are gi v en. 3.1. General f orm First, according to [27], we dene the follo wing zeroing functions recursi v ely: z 0 ( t ) = Z t 0 e ( τ )d τ , z 1 ( t ) = ˙ z 0 ( t ) + λ 1 z 0 ( t ) = e ( t ) + λ 1 Z t 0 e ( τ )d τ , z 2 ( t ) = ˙ z 1 ( t ) + λ 2 z 1 ( t ) = ˙ e ( t ) + ( λ 1 + λ 2 ) e ( t ) + λ 1 λ 2 Z t 0 e ( τ )d τ , z 3 ( t ) = ˙ z 2 ( t ) + λ 3 z 2 ( t ) = ¨ e ( t ) + ( λ 1 + λ 2 + λ 3 ) ˙ e ( t ) + ( λ 1 λ 2 + λ 1 λ 3 + λ 2 λ 3 ) e ( t ) + λ 1 λ 2 λ 3 Z t 0 e ( τ )d τ , (3) where λ 1 , λ 2 , and λ 3 are the controller parameters that satisfy λ i ∈ C and Re( λ i ) > 0 ( i ∈ { 1 , 2 , 3 } ); z 0 ( t ) , z 1 ( t ) , z 2 ( t ) , and z 3 ( t ) are order -0 through order -3 zeroing functions. Besides, e ( t ) , ˙ e ( t ) , and ¨ e ( t ) represent the output tracking error and its order -1 and order -2 time deri v ati v es, respecti v ely . Based on the state equat ions of the general form of the order -2 system in (1), their specic e xpressions are deri v ed as follo ws: e ( t ) = y d ( t ) − y ( t ) = y d ( t ) − x 1 ( t ) , ˙ e ( t ) = ˙ y d ( t ) − ˙ y ( t ) = ˙ y d ( t ) − x 2 ( t ) , ¨ e ( t ) = ¨ y d ( t ) − ¨ y ( t ) = ¨ y d ( t ) − ˙ x 2 ( t ) = ¨ y d ( t ) − f ( x 1 , x 2 ) − g ( x 1 , x 2 ) u ( t ) . (4) Then, to simplify the form of the deri v ed control la w and to f acilitate the comparison between the zeroing neurodynamics PID controller and the con v entional PID controller , we dene the follo wing coef cients: K d = λ 1 + λ 2 + λ 3 , K p = λ 1 λ 2 + λ 1 λ 3 + λ 2 λ 3 , K i = λ 1 λ 2 λ 3 . (5) If the parameters λ i are arbitrary comple x numbers, the corresponding coef cients K d , K p , K i might also become comple x, rendering the controller ph ysic ally unrealizable. T o address this, we impose an additional requirement: if an y λ i is comple x, it must appear in a comple x-conjug ate pair . From (5), it is straightforw ard to v erify that this ensures all coef cients are real-v alued, thus guaranteeing the ph ysical realizability of the controller . In addition, to a v oid the e xplicit inte gral item in the control input, a ne w state v ariable x 3 ( t ) which satises ˙ x 3 ( t ) = e ( t ) and x 3 (0) = 0 is introduced into the original order -2 system (1), and x e is de ned as [ x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ] T . Then the e xtended order -2 system is de v eloped as belo w: ˙ x 1 ( t ) = x 2 ( t ) , ˙ x 2 ( t ) = f ( x 1 , x 2 ) + g ( x 1 , x 2 ) u ( t ) , ˙ x 3 ( t ) = y d ( t ) − x 1 ( t ) , y ( t ) = x 1 ( t ) .

IAES Int J Rob & Autom ISSN: 2722-2586 ❒ 693 Finally , by setting z 3 ( t ) = 0 in (3) and combining it with (4) and (5), we obtain the general form of the zeroing neurodynamics PID controller as follo ws: u ( t ) = 1 g ( x 1 , x 2 ) ( ¨ y d ( t ) − f ( x 1 , x 2 ) + K d ( ˙ y d ( t ) − x 2 ( t )) + K p ( y d ( t ) − x 1 ( t )) + K i x 3 ( t )) = 1 g ( x 1 , x 2 ) ¨ y d ( t ) − f ( x 1 , x 2 ) + K d ˙ e ( t ) + K p e ( t ) + K i Z t 0 e ( τ )d τ = 1 g ( x 1 , x 2 ) ( u mp ( t ) + u pid ( t )) , (7) where u mp ( t ) = ¨ y d ( t ) − f ( x 1 , x 2 ) is the model compensation term; u pid ( t ) = K d ( ˙ y d ( t ) − x 2 ( t )) + K p ( y d ( t ) − x 1 ( t )) + K i x 3 ( t ) is the PID control term. The follo wing is a detailed discussion for components in the proposed controller . First, by le v erag- ing e xact kno wledge of the system dynamics f ( x 1 , x 2 ) , the model compensation term u mp ( t ) linearizes the nonlinear order -2 system and simplies the tracking problem. The inclusion of ¨ y d ( t ) directly embeds the de- sired trajectory’ s acceleration prole into the control input. Then, the PID control term u pid ( t ) ensures the asymptotic con v er gence of the tracking error . Besides, the con v entional PID g ains are ref actored into the tun- ing parameters λ i ( i ∈ { 1 , 2 , 3 } ), establishing an e xplicit correspondence between these parameters and the closed-loop poles of an order -3 error system. This point is to be discussed in detail in Section 4. It is w orth noting that, unlik e optimization-based control strate gies or online learning algorithms t hat require iterati v e computation at e v ery sampling time, the ZN-PID controller only in v olv es basic arithmetic op- erations. Its computational comple xity is O (1) per time step and it can be implemented on standard embedded microcontrollers. 3.2. Zer oing neur odynamics PID contr oller f or the in v erted pendulum Combining (2) and (7), the ZN-PID controller for the in v erted pendulum is obtained as u ( t ) = − l M + m sin 2 x 1 cos x 1   m sin x 1 cos x 1 x 2 2 M + m sin 2 x 1 + ¨ y d ( t ) − ( M + m ) g a sin x 1 l M + m sin 2 x 1 + K d ( ˙ y d ( t ) − x 2 ( t )) + K p ( y d ( t ) − x 1 ( t )) + K i x 3 ( t ) ! . (8) 4. ST ABILITY AN AL YSIS In this section, we pro v e the stability of the ZN-PID controller . Specically , t he st ability of the ZN- PID controller is described by the follo wing theorem. Theor em 1. When the states of system (6) and parameters in functions f ( x 1 , x 2 ) and g ( x 1 , x 2 ) are accurately measured, the output tracking error e ( t ) of the zeroing neurodynamics PID controller (7) e xponent ially con- v er ges to zero. Pr oof . By substituting (7) for the u ( t ) in (6), we get ¨ e ( t ) + K d ˙ e ( t ) + K p e ( t ) + K i Z t 0 e ( τ )d τ = 0 , (9) which is equi v alent to ... e ( t ) + K d ¨ e ( t ) + K p ˙ e ( t ) + K i e ( t ) = 0 . (10) Then, by performing Laplace transform [28] on (10), we obtain ( s 3 + K d s 2 + K p s + K i ) E ( s ) = ( s 2 + K d s + K p ) e (0) + ( s + K d ) ˙ e (0) + ¨ e (0) . (11) Therefore, the e xpression of E ( s ) is E ( s ) = ( s 2 + K d s + K p ) e (0) + ( s + K d ) ˙ e (0) + ¨ e (0) s 3 + K d s 2 + K p s + K i .

694 ❒ ISSN: 2722-2586 From Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion [29], the necess ary and suf cient conditions for all roots of the char - acteristic equation Φ( s ) = s 3 + K d s 2 + K p s + K i = 0 to ha v e ne g ati v e real parts are: K d > 0 , K p > 0 , K i > 0 , and K d K p − K i > 0 . Since Re( λ i ) > 0 ( i ∈ { 1 , 2 , 3 } ), from (5), we kno w that all coef cients K d , K p , and K i are strictly positi v e, and K d K p − K i = ( λ 1 + λ 2 + λ 3 )( λ 1 λ 2 + λ 1 λ 3 ) + λ 2 λ 3 ( λ 2 + λ 3 ) > 0 . Therefore, all roots of Φ( s ) = 0 ha v e ne g ati v e real parts, which means the solution e ( t ) is a linear combination of e xponentially decaying terms. Thus, we ha v e lim t →∞ e ( t ) = 0 , pro ving the e xponential stability of the zeroing neurodynamics PID controller at the origin of the augmented error dynamics. □ In f act, from (12) and the denitions in (5), the characteristic polynomial can be f actorized as ( s + λ 1 )( s + λ 2 )( s + λ 3 ) = 0 , which means that the ne g ati v es of the ZN parameters λ i are directly the poles of the dynamics equation of the error . Consequently , unlik e the classical Zie gler–Nichols PID tuning method, which typically determines controller g ains by dri ving the system to a mar ginally stable oscillatory state and empirically estimating the ultimate g ain and oscillation period, the proposed ZN-PID frame w ork establishes an e xplicit analytical correspondence between controller parameters and closed-loop pole locations. Therefore, the tuning process is transformed from heuristic oscillation-based g ain adjustment i nto a systematic pole-placement procedure with clear interpretations of con v er gence rate and transient-response beha vior . In this sense, the proposed method a v oids the trial-and-error nature and near -instability operation commonly associated with classical Zie gler–Nic ho l s tuning, while pro viding a theoretically grounded and more predictable PID tuning methodology for nonlinear order -2 systems. 5. SIMULA TIVE EXPERIMENTS AND VERIFICA TIONS In this section, we use MA TLAB programs [30] to e x ecute rele v ant simulation e xperiments to v erify the ef fecti v eness of proposed zeroing neurodynamics PID controllers compared with con v entional PID con- trollers. All simulations are performed using MA TLAB R2022a and on a W indo ws 10 personal computer equipped with an Intel Core i5-10300H (2.50 GHz) CPU and 16 GB RAM, and the type and maximum step size of the solv er are ode15s and 10 − 4 s, respecti v el y . The general form of control input of con v entional PID controllers is described as u PID ( t ) = σ g [ e K d ( ˙ y d ( t ) − x 2 ( t )) + e K p ( y d ( t ) − x 1 ( t )) + e K i x 3 ( t )] , where σ g = sgn( g ( x 1 , x 2 )) ∈ {− 1 , +1 } , and the Zie gler -Nichols method or other e xperience-based parameter tun- ing methods is used to obtain the PID parameters. Then, we compare the proposed ZN-PID controller with a con v entional PID controller on the in v erted pendulum. The in v erted-pendulum parameters are selected as M = 1 , m = 0 . 1 , g a = 9 . 8 , and l = 0 . 25 . F or the sak e of simplicity , the units of these parameters are omitted. F or all cases belo w , the ZN-PID parameters are λ 1 = 9 + 3i , λ 2 = 9 − 3i , and λ 3 = 0 . 5 , while the con v entional PID g ains are e K p = 100 , e K d = 10 , and e K i = 50 . The tracking ef fects of tw o controllers are sho wn as Figure 1. First, the control performance in dif ferent initial states is sho wn as Figure 1(a) and (b). It is seen that, when the initial condition x 1 (0) is f ar from π / 2 , the nonlinearity of the system is subtle, thus bo t h controllers achie v e good performance. Ho we v er , when x 1 (0) is near π / 2 , the nonlinearity of the system is ob vious, resulting in a decrease in control performance of the con v entional PID controller . In contrast, the proposed zeroing neurodynamics PID controller maintains stable tracking, highlighting its superiority in the control of highly nonlinear systems. Besides, Figure 1(c) and (d) sho w the response for constant signals with dif ferent amplitudes. It is seen that as the amplitude of the constant reference signal increases, the performance of the con v entional PID controller deteriorates. When the amplitude e xceeds a certain v alue, the in v erted pendulum system under con v entional PID control e xhibits a phenomenon where the swing angle sharply increases and then sharply decreases, often causing the pendulum to lose balance and topple in actual en vironment. In contrast, the zeroing neurodynamics PID controller proposed in this paper illustrates its superior performance and superiority under the same conditions. Ev en with strong nonlinearity brought by lar ge constant reference amplitudes, the zeroing neurodynamics PID controller maintains stability , ef fecti v ely suppresses osci llations, achie v es rapid and smooth con v er gence to the desired angular setpoint with minimal o v ershoot. T able 1 summarizes the simulation results. The ZN-PID controller achie v es lo wer root mean squared error (RMSE) for the la r ger constant references and the lar ger initial of fset, while both controllers reach zero absolute steady-state error (ASSE) in all four cases.

CONCLUSION In this paper , a zeroing neurodynamics PID controller for an order -2 af ne-in-control nonlinear sys- tem has been presented and applied to an in v erted pendulum. The ZN construction reformulates the PID g ains through parameters that correspond directly to the poles of the order -3 error dynamics, turning controller tuning into a systematic pole-placement task. Theoretical analysis pro v es the e xponential s tability of the zeroing neu- rodynamics PID controller . Comparati v e simulations with a con v entional PID controller sho w that the proposed controller maintains stable tracking for lar ge initial of fsets and high-amplitude constant references, where the con v entional controller e xhibits pronounced de gradation.
