This paper extends control barrier functions (CBFs) to high order control barrier functions (HOCBFs) that can be used for high relative degree constraints. The proposed HOCBFs are more general than recently proposed (exponential) HOCBFs. We introduce high order barrier functions (HOBFs), and show that their satisfaction of Lyapunov-like conditions implies the forward invariance of the intersection of a series of sets. We then introduce HOCBF, and show that any control input that satisfies the HOCBF constraint renders the intersection of a series of sets forward invariant. We formulate optimal control problems with constraints given by HOCBF and control Lyapunov functions (CLF), and provide a promising method to address the conflict between HOCBF constraints and control limitations by penalizing the class $\mathcal{K}$ functions. We illustrate the proposed method on an adaptive cruise control problem.
