Variable structure control design for uncertain discrete-timesystems

The main differences between the designs of discrete-time variable structure systems (VSS) and continuous-time VSS are the determination of the switching hyperplane and the satisfaction of the hitting/sliding condition. These differences yield many difficulties in the design of sliding mode control for the discrete-time VSS. This note tries to overcome these difficulties and design a simple sliding mode control for a single input discrete-time VSS such that not only the discrete-time uncertain system is stabilized robustly, but also the chattering along the sliding mode is reduced explicitly. Instead of the conventional switching hyperplane, in the discrete-time case a “switching region”, which includes the hyperplane S₀ and its neighborhood, is determined and used. The determination of the switching region is to locate the equilibrium point of the nominal subsystem on each hyperplane S_p outside the switching region such that the state motions inside and outside the switching region will occur alternately until the state of the closed-loop system reaches the origin. Moreover, we prove that the robustness property is retained whenever the uncertainty satisfies a standard matching condition

Approximation law for discrete-time variable structure control systems

Two approximation laws of sliding mode for discrete-time variable structure control systems are proposed to overcome the limitations of the exponential approximation law and the variable rate approximation law. By applying the proposed approximation laws of sliding mode to discrete-time variable structure control systems, the stability of origin can be guaranteed, and the chattering along the switching surface caused by discrete-time variable structure control can be restrained effectively. In designing of approximation laws, the problem that the system control input is restricted is also considered, which is very important in practical systems. Finally a simulation example shows the effectiveness of the two approximation laws proposed.

An adaptive reaching law of chattering-free discrete-time sliding mode control for systems with external disturbance

An adaptive reaching law of chattering-free discrete-time sliding mode control is proposed for the systems with external disturbance. An adaptive function is proposed in the reaching law which can increase reaching speed as sliding variable is far away from zero and avoid undesired chattering when sliding variable is close to origin. Moreover, a third-order backward difference of disturbance is added to obtain a narrower quasi-sliding mode band (QSMB). Both the closed-loop system performance and finite reaching steps to achieve the desired QSMB are theoretically analyzed. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

On discrete-time variable structure sliding mode control

The purpose of this paper is to show the limitations of discrete-time variable structure sliding mode control and that the equivalent control must be used in order to have sliding in a neighborhood of the switching surface. Conflicting requirements for the sliding mode controller behavior in the continuous and discrete-time domains are revealed and analyzed. A linear control law for an uncertain discrete-time linear plant, with bounded uncertainties, is analyzed and its superiority over nonlinear controllers is demonstrated. The conclusion of the obtained results is that in the discrete-time variable structure sliding mode controller design, unlike in the continuous-time, the designer may have limited flexibility in selecting controller architectures.     

Sliding mode prediction based control algorithm for discrete-time non-linear uncertain coupled systems

By introducing predictive control strategy into the design of sliding mode control (SMC), a novel SMC algorithm for a class of discrete-time non-linear uncertain coupled systems is presented in this paper. To enlighten by the recursive sliding mode approach, a special sliding mode prediction model (SMPM) is created at first. Then taking model mismatch into consideration, the error between the output of SMPM and the practical sliding mode value is used to make feedback correction for SMPM. Applying receding horizon optimization, the desired sliding mode control law which is a non-switching type, is obtained subsequently. The reachability of sliding mode is achieved by making predictive value of sliding mode track the expected sliding mode reference value. Due to feedback correction and receding horizon optimization, the influence of uncertainties can be compensated in time, strong robustness to matched or unmatched uncertainties is possessed. Theoretical analysis proves the closed-loop system is robustly stable, without requiring the known boundaries of uncertainties. Simulation results of a numerical example and a rotational inverted pendulum illustrate the validity of the proposed algorithm.

Discrete-time sliding mode control for uncertain systems with state and input delays

This article presents a discrete-time sliding mode control method for the robust stabilisation of linear uncertain multi-input discrete-time systems with state and input delays. The systems are assumed to have structured mismatched time-varying parameter uncertainties. A specified switching surface is proposed and a sliding mode controller is derived to ensure the existence of the quasi-sliding mode. Based on the improved Lyapunov function and linear matrix inequality technique, delay-independent sufficient conditions for the design of a stable switching surface are given and the stability of the overall closed-loop system is guaranteed. Neither chattering phenomenon will occur nor the knowledge of upper bound of uncertainties is required. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control methodology.

Binary ABR flow control over ATM networks with uncertainty using discrete-time variable structure controller

A binary available bit rate （ABR） scheme based on discrete-time variable structure control （DVSC） theory is proposed to solve the problem of asynchronous transfer mode （ATM） networks congestion in this paper. A discrete-time system model with uncertainty is introduced to depict the time-varying ATM networks. Based on the system model, an asymptotically stable sliding surface is designed by linear matrix inequality （LMI）. In addition, a novel discrete-time reaching law that can obviously reduce chatter is also put forward. The proposed discrete-time variable structure controller can effectively constrain the oscillation of allowed cell rate （ACR） and the queue length in a router. Moreover, the controller is self-adaptive against the uncertainty in the system. Simulations are done in different scenarios. The results demonstrate that the controller has better stability and robustness than the traditional binary flow controller, so it is good for adequately exerting the simplicity of binary flow control mechanisms.     

Robust discrete-time chattering free sliding mode control

A new control algorithm based on discrete-time variable structure systems theory is proposed. The basic feature of this algorithm is that trajectories reach the sliding manifold in finite time, without chattering. Apart from stability, the robustness of the algorithm with respect to parameter uncertainties, as well as external disturbances is considered. It is demonstrated that the robustness is improved by decreasing the sampling period. The theory is illustrated on a DC servo-position system.
