Two illustrative examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed finite-time controller and to validate the theoretical results of the paper.     

Secure communication in wireless sensor networks based on chaos synchronization using adaptive sliding mode control

Due to resource constraints in wireless sensor networks and the presence of unwanted conditions in communication systems and transmission channels, the suggestion of a robust method which provides battery lifetime increment and relative security is of vital importance. This paper considers the secure communication in wireless sensor networks based on new robust adaptive finite time chaos synchronization approach in the presence of noise and uncertainty. For this purpose, the modified Chua oscillators are added to the base station and sensor nodes to generate the chaotic signals. Chaotic signals are impregnated with the noise and uncertainty. At first, we apply the modified independent component analysis to separate the noise from the chaotic signals. Then, using the adaptive finite-time sliding mode controller, a control law and an adaptive parameter-tuning method is proposed to achieve the finite-time chaos synchronization under the noisy conditions and parametric uncertainties. Synchronization between the base station and each of the sensor nodes is realized by multiplying a selection matrix by the specified chaotic signal which is broadcasted by the base station to the sensor nodes. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed technique.     

Adaptive control for electromechanical systems considering dead-zone phenomenon

The electromechanical gyrostat is a fourth-order nonautonomous system that exhibits very rich behavior such as chaos. In recent years, synchronization of nonautonomous chaotic systems has found many useful applications in nonlinear science and engineering fields. On the other hand, it is well known that the finite-time control techniques demonstrate good robustness and disturbance rejection properties. This paper studies the potential application of the finite-time control techniques for synchronization of nonautonomous chaotic electromechanical gyrostat systems in finite time. It is assumed that all the parameters of both drive and response systems are unknown parameters in advance. Moreover, the effects of dead-zone nonlinearities in the control inputs are also taken into account. Some adaptive controllers are introduced to synchronize two gyrostat systems in different scenarios within a given finite-time. Two illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed finite-time synchronization strategy.

In this paper, the robust finite-time tracking problem is addressed for a square fully actuated class of nonlinear systems subjected to disturbances and uncertainties. Firstly, two applicable lemmas are derived and novel nonlinear sliding surfaces (manifolds) are defined by applying these lemmas. Secondly, by developing the nonsingular terminal sliding mode control, two different types of robust nonlinear control inputs are designed to meet and accomplish the aforementioned finite-time tracking objective. The global finite-time stability of the closed-loop nonlinear system is evaluated analytically and mathematically. The proposed control inputs are utilized to tackle and solve two interesting issues containing (a): the finite-time tracking problem of the unified chaotic system and (b): the finite-time synchronization of two non-identical hyperchaotic systems. Finally, based on MATLAB software, two numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate and demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed robust finite-time nonlinear control schemes.

This paper introduces a finite-time control technique for control of a class of non-autonomous fractional-order nonlinear systems in the presence of system uncertainties and external noises. It is known that finite-time control methods demonstrate better robustness and disturbance rejection properties. Moreover, finite time control methods have optimal settling time.

A switching fractional calculus-based controller for normal non-linear dynamical systems

In this paper, a fractional calculus-based terminal sliding mode controller is introduced for finite-time control of non-autonomous non-linear dynamical systems in the canonical form. A fractional terminal switching manifold which is appropriate for canonical integer-order systems is firstly designed. Then some conditions are provided to avoid the inherent singularities of the conventional terminal sliding manifolds. A non-smooth Lyapunov function is adopted to prove the finite time stability and convergence of the sliding mode dynamics. Afterward, based on the sliding mode control theory, an equivalent control and a discontinuous control law are designed to guarantee the occurrence of the sliding motion in finite time. The proposed control scheme uses only one control input to stabilize the system. The proposed controller is also robust against system uncertainties and external disturbances. Two illustrative examples show the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed fractional finite-time control strategy. It is worth noting that the proposed sliding mode controller can be applied for control and stabilization of a large class of non-autonomous non-linear uncertain canonical systems.
