Robust sliding mode control of general time-varying delay stochastic systems with structural uncertainties

This paper presents a new robust sliding mode control （SMC） method with well-developed theoretical proof for general uncertain time-varying delay stochastic systems with structural uncertainties and the Brownian noise （Wiener process）. The key features of the proposed method are to apply singular value decomposition （SVD） to all structural uncertainties and to introduce adjustable parameters for control design along with the SMC method. It leads to a less-conservative condition for robust stability and a new robust controller for the general uncertain stochastic systems via linear matrix inequality （LMI） forms. The system states are able to reach the SMC switching surface as guaranteed in probability 1. Furthermore, it is theoretically proved that the proposed method with the SVD and adjustable parameters is less conservatism than the method without the SVD. The paper is mainly to provide all strict theoretical proofs for the method and results.     

Robust control for uncertain linear delay systems via sliding mode control

In this paper, a novel discontinuous control strategy for robust stabilization of a class of uncertain multivariable linear time‐delay systems with delays in both the state and control variables is proposed. Two predictors are first designed to compensate the delay effect in the control input, and then an integral sliding mode control technique is applied to compensate partially the effect of the perturbation term. Finally, a nominal delay‐free component of the full control input is designed to stabilize the sliding mode dynamics. Conditions for the stability of the closed‐loop perturbed system are then derived. The proposed framework is then extended to the class of systems modeled in regular form. Some examples illustrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Robust integral sliding mode control for uncertainsystems with multiple time delays

This paper proposes a robust integral sliding mode (RISM) manifold and the corresponding stabilization control law for uncertain systems with multiple time-varying time delays based on the techniques of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). The sufficient condition for the existence of the RISM manifold is given in terms of LMI, and then, the sliding mode control (SMC) law that can keep the system state on the RISM manifold from the initial time moment is developed. The efficiency and feasibility of the results are illustrated by a numerical example.     

Robust reliable control of switched uncertain systems with time-varying delay

This paper is concerned with reliable control problems for the switched uncertain systems with time varying delay. A method for designing robust reliable controller is presented by means of the multiple Lyapunov functions technique so that the energy-like functional does not have to decrease along the switching instants. The proposed controller is reliable in that it can guarantee the closed loop asymptotic stablility of switched delay systems in the case of the possible presence of failures of partial actuators. Delay independent results of the reliable controller design are presented in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the applicability of the proposed results.     

Robust H-infinity integral sliding mode control for a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems

This paper develops a new method to deal with the robust H-infinity control problem for a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems by using integral sliding mode control. A robust H-infinity integral sliding surface is constructed such that the sliding mode is robust stable with a prescribed disturbance attenuation level γ for a class of switching signals with average dwell time. Furthermore, variable structure controllers are designed to maintain the state of switched system on the sliding surface from the initial time. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Adaptive integral higher order sliding mode controller for uncertain systems

This paper proposes an adaptive integral higher order sliding mode (HOSM) controller for uncertain systems. Instead of a regular control input, the derivative of the control input is used in the proposed control law. The discontinuous sign function in the controller is made to act on the time derivative of the control input. The actual control signal obtained by integrating the derivative control signal is smooth and chattering free. The adaptive tuning law used in the proposed controller eliminates the need of prior knowledge about the upper bound of the system uncertainties. Stability and robustness of the proposed controller are proved by using the classical Lyapunov criterion. Simulation results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed control scheme.     

Robust delay‐dependent sliding mode control for uncertain time‐delay systems

In this paper, the problem of robust sliding mode control for a class of linear continuous time‐delay systems is studied. The parametric uncertainty considered is a modelling error type of mismatch appearing in the state. A delay‐dependent sufficient condition for the existence of linear sliding surfaces is developed in terms of linear matrix inequality, based on which the corresponding reaching motion controller is designed. A numerical example is given to show the potential of the proposed techniques. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Event-triggered sliding mode control for uncertain linear systems with time-varying delay and stochastic disturbance

This paper investigates the control issue of uncertain systems in presenting of time-varying delay and stochastic disturbance. The state information is real-timely measured by the sensor and directly sent to an event-trigger, then only necessary data is transmitted by the event-trigger to the controller while the rest redundant information is simply discarded. Since the controller receives a discontinuous-time data sequence, an observer is designed to restructure a substitutional continuous-time state and an observer-state-dependent sliding mode control law is proposed. By the proposed method, not only the mean square exponential stability of closed-loop system can be guaranteed almost surely but also the data transmission amount can be reduced. In addition, the chattering behaviour can be alleviated, meanwhile, the match conditions of uncertainty and disturbance are not required. More significantly, the Zeno phenomena of the event-trigger can be conveniently excluded and the minimal event-triggering interval is also given. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Robust H∞ sliding mode control scheme for uncertain fractional stochastic systems: Nonlinear analysis and design

This paper investigates the $H_{\infty }$ sliding mode control (SMC) design for fractional stochastic systems. We study a very general category of stochastic systems that are nonlinear and driven by fractional Brownian motion (fBm). A robust $H_{\infty }$ SMC scheme is presented for a fractional stochastic model with external disturbance, state- and disturbance-dependent noise, and uncertainties, which ensures that the closed-loop system is stochastically stable. We propose a novel sliding surface and then prove its reachability in the state space. Furthermore, the conditions for the stochastic stability of the sliding motion are derived via nonlinear Hamilton–Jacobi (HJ)-type inequalities. In addition, an $H_{\infty }$ SMC method is developed for a special class of fractional stochastic models, and two sets of linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions are obtained, which are sufficient for stochastic stability. Eventually, the validity of the results is validated via a simulation example.

Variable structure sliding mode control for a class of uncertain distributed parameter systems with time-varying delays

This article considers sliding mode control of a class of parabolic linear uncertain distributed parameter systems with time-varying delays. The sliding mode controller design does not contain time delay terms and drives the state trajectory of the system to the sliding manifold in finite time. A sufficient condition of asymptotic stability for the sliding motion is derived. A simulation example is presented to illustrate effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Higher order sliding mode control based on integral sliding mode

A higher order sliding mode control scheme for uncertain nonlinear systems is proposed in the present paper. It is shown that the problem is equivalent to the finite time stabilization of higher order input-output dynamics with bounded uncertainties (r∈N). The controller uses integral sliding mode concept and contains two parts. A part achieves finite time stabilization of the higher order input-output dynamics without uncertainties. The other part rejects bounded uncertainties throughout the entire response of the system. As a result, a higher order sliding mode is established. The advantages of the method are that its implementation is easy, the time convergence is chosen in advance and the robustness is ensured. An illustrative example of a car control shows the applicability of the method.     

Adaptive backstepping sliding mode control for feedforward uncertain systems

Output tracking backstepping sliding mode control for feedforward uncertain systems is considered in this article. Feedforward systems are not usually transformable to the parametric semi-strict feedback form, and they may include unmatched uncertainties consisting of disturbances and unmodelled dynamics terms. The backstepping method presented in this article, even without uncertainties differs from that of Ríos-Bolívar and Zinober [Ríos-Bolívar, M. and Zinober, A.S.I. (1999), ‘Dynamical Adaptive Sliding Mode Control of Observable Minimum Phase Uncertain Nonlinear Systems’, in Variable Structure Systems: Variable Structure Systems, Sliding Mode and Nonlinear Control, eds., K.D. Young and Ü. Özgüner. Ozguner, London, Springer-Verlag, pp. 211–236; Ríos-Bolívar, M., and Zinober, A.S.I. (1997a), ‘Dynamical Adaptive Backstepping Control Design via Symbolic Computation’, in Proceedings of the 3rd European Control Conference, Brussels]. In this article, the backstepping is not a dynamical method as in Ríos-Bolívar and Zinober (1997a Ríos-Bolívar, M and Zinober, ASI. 1997a. Dynamical Adaptive Sliding Mode Output Tracking Control of a Class of Nonlinear Systems. International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, 7: 387–405.  [Google Scholar], 1999), since at each step, the control and map input remain intact, and the differentiations of the control are not used. Therefore, the method can be introduced as static backstepping. Two different controllers are designed based upon the backstepping approach with and without sliding mode. The dynamic and static backstepping methods are applied to a gravity-flow/pipeline system to compare two methods.     

Robust control for a class of nonlinear networked systems with stochastic communication delays via sliding mode conception

This paper deals with the robust control problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear networked systems with stochastic communication delays via sliding mode conception (SMC). A sequence of variables obeying Bernoulli distribution are employed to model the randomly occurring communication delays which could be different for different state variables. A discrete switching function that is different from those in the existing literature is first proposed. Then, expressed as the feasibility of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) with an equality constraint, sufficient conditions are derived in order to ensure the globally mean-square asymptotic stability of the system dynamics on the sliding surface. A discretetime SMC controller is then synthesized to guarantee the discrete-time sliding mode reaching condition with the specified sliding surface. Finally, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Dynamic output feedback integral sliding mode control design for uncertain systems

This paper addresses the problem of designing a dynamic output feedback sliding mode control algorithm for linear MIMO systems with mismatched parameter uncertainties along with disturbances and matched nonlinear perturbations. Once the system is in the sliding mode, the proposed output‐dependent integral sliding surface can robustly stabilize the closed‐loop system and obtain the desired system performance. Two types of mismatched disturbances are considered and their effects on the sliding mode are explored. By introducing an additional dynamics into the controller design, the developed control law can guarantee that the system globally reaches and is maintained on the sliding surface in finite time. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is illustrated by numerical examples. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A multitask sliding mode control for mismatched uncertain large-scale systems

A new sliding mode control (SMC) approach, output variables only, single phase only and chattering phenomenon free, is presented for a class of mismatched uncertain large-scale systems. For a new multitask SMC, it is not required that the system states are available. Moreover, the sliding function in this study just depends on output variables. Using an exponential type sliding surface, the system states are always in the sliding mode at the beginning time t = 0. Using a newly appropriate linear matrix inequality stability conditions by the Lyapunov method are derived such that each subsystem in the new sliding mode is completely invariant to matched uncertainties. As a result, robustness of the mismatched uncertain large-scale systems can be assured throughout an entire response of the system starting from the initial time t = 0. In every subsystem, a scheme of decentralised control using only output states is proposed. In addition, a continuous controller is finally designed for chattering removal. Finally, a numerical example is used to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.     

Terminal sliding mode control of second-order nonlinear uncertain systems

In this paper, a terminal sliding mode control scheme is proposed for second-order nonlinear uncertain systems. By using a function augmented sliding hyperplane, it is guaranteed that the output tracking error converges to zero in finite time which can be set arbitrarily. In addition, the proposed scheme eliminates the reaching phase problem so that the closed-loop system always shows the invariance property to parameter uncertainties.
