In this paper, by incorporating the dynamic surface control technique into a neural network‐based adaptive control design framework, we have developed a backstepping‐based control design for a class of nonlinear systems in pure‐feedback form with arbitrary uncertainty. The circular design problem which may exist in pure‐feedback systems is overcome. In addition, our development is able to eliminate the problem of ‘explosion of complexity’ inherent in the existing backstepping‐based methods. A stability analysis is given, which shows that our control law can guarantee the semi‐global uniformly ultimate boundedness of the solution of the closed‐loop system, and makes the tracking error arbitrarily small. Moreover, the proposed control design scheme can also be directly applied to the strict‐feedback nonlinear systems with arbitrary uncertainty. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
