In this article, we study the issue of adaptive neural output-feedback controller design for a class of uncertain switched time-delay nonlinear systems with nonlower triangular structure. The prominent contribution of this article is that the delay-dependent stability criterion of nonswitched nonlinear systems is successfully extended to that of switched nonlower triangular nonlinear systems. The design algorithm is listed as follows. First, a switched state observer is designed such that the error dynamic system can be generated. Second, neural networks, adaptive backstepping technique, and variable separation method are, respectively, applied to construct a common controller for all subsystems, in which the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals are deliberately constructed such that the average dwell-time scheme can be employed to guarantee the stability and performance of the closed-loop system, despite the existence …
