Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
the paper’s quality is generally good. Theoretical derivation is correct, both simulations and experimental validations were provided. Comments are
- The smooth condition for the system dynamics f and h seems too strong. Is continuous a better assumption?
- In the theoretical manner, the uncertainty bounds of system models are not clarified. How much robustness margin can be achieved on this manner?
- The estimation comparisons among couple methods are presented. How to justify the comparison is fair? Gains are the same? Which one is more robust?
- In the experimental comparison, it is better to use a table to list some quantities to clarify the conclusion, like the root mean square error, convergence time, etc. Fig. 13 needs to be zoomed out.
