Sliding mode controller-observer design for multivariable linear systems with unmatched uncertainty

A. Jafari Koshkouei, Alan S. I. Zinober (2000)

Kybernetika

This paper presents sufficient conditions for the sliding mode control of a system with disturbance input. The behaviour of the sliding dynamics in the presence of unmatched uncertainty is also studied. When a certain sufficient condition on the gain feedback matrix of the discontinuous controller and the disturbance bound holds, then the disturbance does not affect the sliding system. The design of asymptotically stable sliding observers for linear multivariable systems is presented. A sliding...

Sliding mode methods for fault detection and fault tolerant control with application to aerospace systems

Christopher Edwards, Halim Alwi, Chee Pin Tan (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Sliding mode methods have been historically studied because of their strong robustness properties with regard to a certain class of uncertainty, achieved by employing nonlinear control/injection signals to force the system trajectories to attain in finite time a motion along a surface in the state-space. This paper will consider how these ideas can be exploited for fault detection (specifically fault signal estimation) and subsequently fault tolerant control. It will also describe applications of...

Sliding subspace design based on linear matrix inequalities

Alán Tapia, Raymundo Márquez, Miguel Bernal, Joaquín Cortez (2014)

Kybernetika

In this work, an alternative for sliding surface design based on linear and bilinear matrix inequalities is proposed. The methodology applies for reduced and integral sliding mode control, both continuous- and discrete-time; it takes advantage of the Finsler's lemma to provide a greater degree of freedom than existing approaches for sliding subspace design. The sliding surfaces thus constructed are systematically found via convex optimization techniques, which are efficiently implemented in commercially...

Sliding-mode pinning control of complex networks

Oscar J. Suarez, Carlos J. Vega, Santiago Elvira-Ceja, Edgar N. Sanchez, David I. Rodriguez (2018)

Kybernetika

In this paper, a novel approach for controlling complex networks is proposed; it applies sliding-mode pinning control for a complex network to achieve trajectory tracking. This control strategy does not require the network to have the same coupling strength on all edges; and for pinned nodes, the ones with the highest degree are selected. The illustrative example is composed of a network of 50 nodes; each node dynamics is a Chen chaotic attractor. Two cases are presented. For the first case the...

SMAC-FDI: A single model active fault detection and isolation system for unmanned aircraft

Guillaume J.J. Ducard (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This article presents a single model active fault detection and isolation system (SMAC-FDI) which is designed to efficiently detect and isolate a faulty actuator in a system, such as a small (unmanned) aircraft. This FDI system is based on a single and simple aerodynamic model of an aircraft in order to generate some residuals, as soon as an actuator fault occurs. These residuals are used to trigger an active strategy based on artificial exciting signals that searches within the residuals for the...

Smooth homogeneous asymptotically stabilizing feedback controls

H. Hermes (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

If a smooth nonlinear affine control system has a controllable linear approximation, a standard technique for constructing a smooth (linear) asymptotically stabilizing feedbackcontrol is via the LQR (linear, quadratic, regulator) method. The nonlinear system may not have a controllable linear approximation, but instead may be shown to be small (or large) time locally controllable via a high order, homogeneous approximation. In this case one can attempt to construct an asymptotically stabilizing...

Smooth super twisting sliding mode based steering control for nonholonomic systems transformable into chained form

Waseem Abbasi, Fazal ur Rehman, Ibrahim Shah (2018)

Kybernetika

In this article, a new solution to the steering control problem of nonholonomic systems, which are transformable into chained form is investigated. A smooth super twisting sliding mode control technique is used to steer nonholonomic systems. Firstly, the nonholonomic system is transformed into a chained form system, which is further decomposed into two subsystems. Secondly, the second subsystem is steered to the origin by using smooth super twisting sliding mode control. Finally, the first subsystem...

Soft computing in modelbased predictive control footnotemark

Piotr Tatjewski, Maciej Ławrynczuk (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The application of fuzzy reasoning techniques and neural network structures to model-based predictive control (MPC) is studied. First, basic structures of MPC algorithms are reviewed. Then, applications of fuzzy systems of the Takagi-Sugeno type in explicit and numerical nonlinear MPC algorithms are presented. Next, many techniques using neural network modeling to improve structural or computational properties of MPC algorithms are presented and discussed, from a neural network model of a process...

Soft variable structure control in time-delay systems with saturating input

Przemysław Ignaciuk (2021)

Kybernetika

In order to achieve a short regulation cycle, time-optimal control has been considered in the past. However, the sensitivity to errors and uncertainties, and implementation difficulties in the practical systems, have incited other research directions to meet this objective. In this paper, soft Variable Structure Control (VSC) is analyzed from the perspective of linear time-delay systems with input constraint. The desired fast convergence under a smoothly varying control signal is obtained. The stability...

Some applications of Girsanov's theorem to the theory of stochastic differential inclusions

Micha Kisielewicz (2003)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

The Girsanov's theorem is useful as well in the general theory of stochastic analysis as well in its applications. We show here that it can be also applied to the theory of stochastic differential inclusions. In particular, we obtain some special properties of sets of weak solutions to some type of these inclusions.
