Anti-synchronization of uncertain unified chaotic systems with dead-zone nonlinearity

This paper addresses chaos anti-synchronization of uncertain unified chaotic systems with dead-zone input nonlinearity. Using the sliding mode control technique and Lyapunov stability theory, a proportional–integral (PI) switching surface is proposed to ensure the stability of the closed-loop error system in sliding mode. Then a sliding mode controller (SMC) is proposed to guarantee the hitting of the switching surface even with uncertainties and the control input containing dead-zone nonlinearity. Some simulation results are included to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed synchronization scheme.     

Exponential stabilization using sliding mode control for singular systems with time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations

This paper considers a sliding mode control (SMC) of singular systems. The systems under consideration involve nonlinear perturbations and time-varying delays. The aim of this paper is to design a sliding mode controller such that the nonlinear singular system is exponentially stable and its trajectory can be driven onto the sliding surface in finite time. By using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and some specified matrices, conditions on exponential stabilization are obtained in the form of strict linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed main results. All these results are expected to be of use in the study of singular time-varying delay systems with nonlinear perturbations.

First, we consider a fractional order system without delay for which a sliding surface is proposed based on fractional integration of the state. Then, a stabilizing switching controller is derived. Second, a fractional system with state delay is considered. Third, a strategy including a fractional state predictor input delay compensation is developed. The existence of the sliding mode and the stability of the proposed control design are discussed. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical developments.     

Exponential synchronization of chaotic systems subject to uncertainties in the control input

A sliding mode control technique is introduced for exponential synchronization of chaotic systems. These systems are described by a general form including matched and unmatched nonlinear functions. A new hitting-free switching surface of proportional-integral type is proposed. This type of switching surface is without the hitting process if the attraction of sliding manifold is ensured. This property makes it easy to exponentially synchronize the master-slave chaotic systems. Based on this switching surface, a robust sliding mode controller (SMC) is derived to guarantee the attraction of sliding manifold even when the system is subjected to input uncertainties. An example is included to illustrate the results developed in this paper.     

Robust output feedback sliding mode control for uncertain discrete time systems

This paper proposes a robust output feedback controller for a class of uncertain discrete-time, multi-input multi-output, linear, systems. This method, which is based on the combination of discrete-time sliding mode control (DTSMC) and Kalman estimator, ensures the stability, robustness and an output tracking against the modeling uncertainties at large sampling periods. For this purpose, an appropriate structure is considered for sliding surface and the Lyapunov theory for the mismatched uncertain system is then used to design its parameter. This problem leads to solve a set of linear matrix inequalities. A new method is then proposed to reach the quasi-sliding mode and stay thereafter. Simulation studies show the effectiveness of the proposed method in the presence of parameter uncertainties and external disturbances at large sampling periods.     

Integral sliding mode control for T–S fuzzy descriptor systems

The present study focuses on designing the integral sliding-mode control (ISMC) for generalized Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy singular stochastic systems by involving the Markovian jump type of system parameters. Distinct to the existing works, the present paper concerns about the derivation of sufficient conditions that ensure the global stability of considered T–S fuzzy stochastic singular Markovian jump systems with matched/mismatched uncertainties under fuzzy-based ISMC. In this regard, an improved fuzzy integral sliding manifold function with mode-dependent derivative-term coefficient is proposed where the matched uncertainties become unnecessary and the mismatched uncertainties have been disintegrated during the sliding mode phase. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, a suitable Lyapunov functional candidate by involving the information about the membership functions is constructed with singular and P-type matrices, the stochastic admissibility of corresponding sliding mode dynamics are derived. To proven the effectiveness of the proposed method, a physical experimental problem on cart and pendulum is adapted and simulated via the derived theoretical results and the corresponding results are provided.     

Nonlinear sliding surface based second order sliding mode controller for uncertain linear systems

A second order sliding mode (SOSM) controller using nonlinear sliding surface is proposed in this paper. The aim of the proposed controller is to guarantee stability as well as enhance the transient performance of uncertain linear systems with parametric uncertainty. The nonlinear sliding surface consists of a linear term and a nonlinear term. The linear term comprises a gain matrix which has a very low value of damping ratio and thereby facilitates fast response. The nonlinear term is introduced to accommodate a variable damping ratio to reduce overshoot and settling time of the closed loop system as the output reaches nearer the desired reference position. A major gain of the proposed SOSM controller is the elimination of chattering in the control input. The proposed nonlinear sliding surface based SOSM controller achieves fast rise, low overshoot and low settling time. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SOSM controller.     

Robust tracking and model following for uncertain time‐delay systems with input nonlinearity

This article proposes a novel adaptive sliding mode control (SMC) scheme to realize the problem of robust tracking and model following for a class of uncertain time‐delay systems with input nonlinearity. It is shown that the proposed robust tracking controller guarantees the stability of overall closed‐loop system and achieves zero‐tracking error in the presence of input nonlinearity, time‐delays, time‐varying parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. The selection of sliding surface and the existence of sliding mode are two important issues, which have been addressed. This scheme assures robustness against input nonlinearity, time‐delays, parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances. Moreover, the knowledge of the upper bound of uncertainties is not required and chattering phenomenon is eliminated. Both theoretical analysis and illustrative examples demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 66–73, 2015     

Suppression of chaotic behavior in horizontal platform systems based on an adaptive sliding mode control scheme

This work presents an adaptive sliding mode control scheme to elucidate the robust chaos suppression control of non-autonomous chaotic systems. The proposed control scheme utilizes extended systems to ensure that continuous control input is obtained in order to avoid chattering phenomenon as frequently in conventional sliding mode control systems. A switching surface is adopted to ensure the relative ease in stabilizing the extended error dynamics in the sliding mode. An adaptive sliding mode controller (ASMC) is then derived to guarantee the occurrence of the sliding motion, even when the chaotic horizontal platform system (HPS) is undergoing parametric uncertainties. Based on Lyapunov stability theorem, control laws are derived. In addition to guaranteeing that uncertain horizontal platform chaotic systems can be stabilized to a steady state, the proposed control scheme ensures asymptotically tracking of any desired trajectory. Furthermore, the numerical simulations verify the accuracy of the proposed control scheme, which is applicable to another chaotic system based on the same design scheme.     

Sliding mode control for uncertain chaotic systems with input nonlinearity

For the sliding mode controller of uncertain chaotic systems subject to input nonlinearity, the upper bound of the norm of uncertainties is commonly used to determine the controller parameter. However, this will cause serious chattering. In order to overcome this drawback, two new sliding mode controllers are proposed to ensure robust synchronization for a classes of chaotic systems with input nonlinearities and external uncertainty. Compared with the existing results, the proposed controllers can effectively reduce the chattering nearby sliding mode and improve the dynamic performance of the systems. Simulation results are provided to verify the proposed methods.     

Control of non‐integer‐order dynamical systems using sliding mode scheme

This article deals with the problem of control of canonical non‐integer‐order dynamical systems. We design a simple dynamical fractional‐order integral sliding manifold with desired stability and convergence properties. The main feature of the proposed dynamical sliding surface is transferring the sign function in the control input to the first derivative of the control signal. Therefore, the resulted control input is smooth and without any discontinuity. So, the harmful chattering, which is an inherent characteristic of the traditional sliding modes, is avoided. We use the fractional Lyapunov stability theory to derive a sliding control law to force the system trajectories to reach the sliding manifold and remain on it forever. A nonsmooth positive definite function is applied to prove the existence of the sliding motion in a given finite time. Some computer simulations are presented to show the efficient performance of the proposed chattering‐free fractional‐order sliding mode controller. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The paper is concerned with the problem of robust stabilization for uncertain large-scale time-varying delayed systems with input nonlinearities. Based on the sliding mode control, a memoryless decentralized adaptive sliding mode controller (DASMC) is developed. The proposed controller ensures the occurrence of the sliding manifold of the composite system even subjected to input nonlinearity. It shows that the uncertain nonlinear large-scale system also possesses the property of insensitivity to uncertainties and disturbances as a linear system does. A numerical example is given to verify the validity of the developed memoryless DASMC.     

Robust adaptive synchronization of different uncertain chaotic systems subject to input nonlinearity

In this paper, an adaptive controller is designed to ensure robust synchronization of two different chaotic systems with input nonlinearities. For this purpose, a stable sliding surface is defined and an adaptive sliding mode controller is designed to achieve robust synchronization of the systems when the control input is influenced through nonlinearities produced by actuator or external uncertainty recourses. The adaptation law guarantees the synchronization assuming of unknown model uncertainty. Furthermore by adding an integrator and incorporating a saturation function in the control law, the chattering phenomenon caused by the sign function is avoided. The simulation results for synchronization of Chua’s circuit and Genesio systems show the efficiency of the proposed technique.

This paper is concerned with the sliding mode control (SMC) for a class of nonlinear systems with time-delay. A novel optimal sliding mode is proposed by using the successive approximation approach (SAA). The stability of the nonlinear sliding mode is analyzed. The switching manifold ensures that the state trajectories of the closed-loop system converge to zero in an optimal fashion on the ideal sliding surface. Furthermore, the convergence velocity of every state trajectory on the ideal sliding surface can be adjusted through choosing the parameters of the quadratic performance index. A numerical simulation is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed design approach.

Active sliding observer scheme based fractional chaos synchronization

In this paper, a novel observer scheme is proposed for synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems. Our approach employs a combination of a classical sliding observer and an active observer, where the active observer serves to increase the attraction strength of sliding surface. Using the theory of Lyapunov function, synchronization of the fractional order response with the fractional order drive system is achieved in both ideal and mismatched cases. By merit of fractional order differentiation and integration, i.e. differintegration formula, it is proved that state synchronization is established in a finite time. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed observer.     

Nonsingular decoupled terminal sliding-mode control for a class of fourth-order nonlinear systems

This paper presents a nonsingular decoupled terminal sliding mode control (NDTSMC) method for a class of fourth-order nonlinear systems. First, the nonlinear fourth-order system is decoupled into two second-order subsystems which are referred to as the primary and secondary subsystems. The sliding surface of each subsystem was designed by utilizing time-varying coefficients which are computed by linear functions derived from the input–output mapping of the one-dimensional fuzzy rule base. Then, the control target of the secondary subsystem was embedded to the primary subsystem by the help of an intermediate signal. Thereafter, a nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (NTSMC) method was utilized to make both subsystems converge to their equilibrium points in finite time. The simulation results on the inverted pendulum system are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. It is seen that the proposed method exhibits a considerable improvement in terms of a faster dynamic response and lower IAE and ITAE values as compared with the existing decoupled control methods.
