Technical Stability Conditions for Systems of Variable Structure with Derivatives of the Control Function

We derive sufficient conditions for the technical stability of forced states of automatic control systems with a variable structure depending on the derivatives of the control function. For arbitrary admissible initial perturbations from a measurable set of initial states of a control system with filtering, the technical stability conditions do not depend on the sliding conditions in the given domain of the system parameters. We find how the properties of the eigenvalues of the quadratic forms of the Lyapunov functions are related to the technical stability conditions for automatic control systems of variable structure with filtering. The technical stability conditions are analyzed for automatic control systems with third-order filtering where the forming signal creates eight structures     

Technical stability of stationary automatic control systems of variable structure with switched filters

Sufficient conditions for the technical stability in measure of a nonstationary control system with variable structure are established. The controller of the system has feedback-switched filters functioning together with shaper and actuator. It is assumed that the nonstationary parameters of the system vary within given ranges, at a finite rate, with appropriate control laws, with adjustment against mismatch signal, its derivatives of finite order, and all variable parameters of the filter. The parameters of the switching hyperplane remain constant. This approach for analysis of technical stability does not involve sliding mode conditions. Criteria of technical instability in measure for the control system under consideration are formulated using the properties of systems of comparison from below. The general criteria of technical stability and instability are applied to nonstationary filtered-control systems of variable structure of the third order. The comparison method based on normalized Lyapunov functions is used __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 6, pp. 110–127, June 2006.     

Technical Stability of Nonstationary Automatic-Control Systems with Variable Structure

Sufficient conditions of technical stability in measure are established for nonstationary automatic-control systems with variable structure and logic control laws dependent on the mismatch error and its derivatives of finite order for all admissible initial perturbations from a predefined measurable set of initial perturbations. The associated systems of differential equations contain time-dependent coefficients. The logic control laws are described by a variable jump control function of the mismatch coordinate and its derivatives of finite order that is no higher than that of the initial system of equations. Using a signal and its derivatives for control increases the quality of discontinuous control. The relationship between the eigenvalues of the quadratic forms of the corresponding Liapunov functions and the criteria of technical stability is revealed. The general results are applied to a variable-structure system of the third order     

Stability in sliding mode of nonstationary automatic-control systems of variable structure with switched filters

Stability conditions for a nonstationary automatic-control system of variable structure in sliding mode are established. The controller of the system has feedback-switched filters functioning together with the shaper and actuator. The nonstationary parameters of the system vary within given ranges, at a finite rate, under appropriate control laws, with adjustment for the error signal, its derivatives of finite order, and all variable parameters of the filter. The parameters of the switching hyperplane remain constant. This approach to stability analysis is based on the existence conditions for the sliding mode at the switching boundary in the phase space. The general stability and instability criteria are applied to nonstationary automatic filtered-control systems of variable structure of the third order __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 10, pp. 116–134, October 2006.

Adaptive synchronization of fractional-order chaotic systems via a single driving variable

This letter investigates the synchronization of a class of three-dimensional fractional-order chaotic systems. Based on sliding mode variable structure control theory and adaptive control technique, a single-state adaptive-feedback controller containing a novel fractional integral sliding surface is developed to synchronize a class of fractional-order chaotic systems. The present controller, which only contains a single driving variable, is simple both in design and implementation. Simulation results for three fractional-order chaotic systems are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Technical Stability of Forced Motion in Nonstationary Automatic-Control Systems of Variable Structure

Sufficient conditions of technical stability are established for nonstationary automatic-control systems of variable structure. The case is considered where for appropriate controls and for all admissible initial perturbations from a predefined measurable set of initial states, the nonstationary parameters of a process under external actions vary within given ranges. The control process depends on the mismatch signal and its derivatives up to an order that is less by one than the order of the equations of motion. The associated system of differential equations contains discontinuous time-dependent coefficients. A relationship is established between the eigenvalues of the quadratic forms of the given Lyapunov functions and the technical-stability criteria. It is shown that the technical-stability conditions do not depend on the sliding-mode conditions for variable-structure control processes     

Technical Stability of Forced Automatic-Control Variable-Structure Systems

Sufficient conditions for technical stability of functional states of controlled systems with a variable structure are derived. Allowance is made for external perturbations acting on the given process for all possible initial distributions from the set of the process' initial states predetermined in a quadratic measure. The differential equations characterizing the system under consideration include coefficients that vary stepwise with stepwise change in the parameters of the discontinuous control function. It is shown that the conditions of technical stability obtained do not necessarily depend on the existence of sliding modes in variable-structure systems. The eigenvalues of the quadratic forms of the corresponding Lyapunov functions are found to relate to the criteria of technical stability of automatic-control variable-structure processes

An enhanced input-delay approach to sampled-data stabilization of T–S fuzzy systems via mixed convex combination

The problem of sampled-data control is investigated for Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems with aperiodic sampling intervals based on an enhanced input-delay approach. Delay-dependent stability and stabilizability conditions for the closed-loop continuous nonuniformly sampled-data fuzzy systems are derived by constructing a novel discontinuous Lyapunov–Krasovskii (L–K) functional, which makes good use of not only the upper bound on the variable sampling interval, but also its sawtooth structure information about varying input delay often ignored in previous results. A bounding technique combined by reciprocally convex technics and linear convex combination is presented for acquiring the time derivative of the functional, wherein Jensen’s inequality and Wirtinger’s inequality are integratively employed. And a feasible solution of the obtained criterion formulated as parameterized linear matrix inequalities is ultimately conceived. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

A self-tuning guidance and control system for marine surface vessels

An integrated guidance and control system has been developed to enable underactuated marine surface vessels to operate autonomously and yield robust tracking performance in spite of significant external disturbances and modeling imprecision. A nonlinear ship model, accounting for all six degrees-of-freedom of the ship, has been used as a test bed to assess the performance of the proposed scheme. The controller combines the advantages of the variable structure systems (VSS) theory with the self-tuning fuzzy logic scheme. It does not require an accurate dynamic model of the ship or the construction of a rule-based expert system. Its asymptotic stability is ensured by knowing the upper bounds on modeling imprecision and external disturbances and by forcing the tuning parameters to satisfy the sliding conditions. The guidance system is based on the concepts of the variable radius line-of-sight (LOS) and the acceptance circle around the waypoints. The current system varies the LOS radius exponentially with the cross track error in order to achieve a fast convergence rate of the ship to its desired trajectory. The simulation results demonstrate the robust tracking characteristic of the integrated guidance and control system in spite of significant modeling uncertainties and environmental disturbances.     

Stability of the Sliding Mode in Nonstationary Automatic-Control Systems with Variable Structure

The paper addresses the stability of the sliding mode in nonstationary automatic-control systems of variable structure. The parameters of dynamic states are assumed to vary arbitrarily and continuously within a given bounded domain. The existence and stability conditions for the sliding mode on the switching hyperplane are established. They define nonstationary sets that contain phase velocity vectors directed away from the sliding hyperplane. The sets do not have common points with the switching hyperplane, except for the origin, for the known extreme values of the discontinuous coefficients of logical controls. This is the essence of the necessary and sufficient conditions for the stable sliding mode of the automatic-control system. The general results are used to analyze the stability conditions for the sliding mode in a nonstationary automatic-control system with a variable structure of the third order

Stabilization of fractional order systems using a finite number of state feedback laws

In this paper, the stabilization of linear time-invariant systems with fractional derivatives using a limited number of available state feedback gains, none of which is individually capable of system stabilization, is studied. In order to solve this problem in fractional order systems, the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach has been used for fractional order systems. A shadow integer order system for each fractional order system is defined, which has a behavior similar to the fractional order system only from the stabilization point of view. This facilitates the use of Lyapunov function and convex analysis in systems with fractional order 1<q<2. To this end, an extremum-seeking method is used for obtaining Lyapunov function and defining a suitable sliding sector in order to enable switching between available control gains for system stabilization. Consequently, using the LMI approach in fractional order systems, necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for stabilization of systems with fractional order 1<q<2 using a limited number of available state feedback gains which lead to variable structure control.

随着科学技术的发展,对喷气飞机、火箭等变质量系统动力学的研究显得越来越重要, 并且总是希望变质量系统的解是稳定的或渐近稳定的. 而通用的研究稳定性的Lyapunov直接法有很大难度, 因为直接从微分方程出发构造Lyapunov函数往往很难实现. 本文给出一种研究稳定性的间接方法, 即梯度系统方法. 该方法不但能揭示动力学系统的内在结构, 而且有助于探索系统的稳定性、渐进性和分岔等动力学行为. 梯度系统的函数V通常取为Lyapunov函数, 因此梯度系统比较适合用Lyapunov函数来研究. 列写出变质量完整力学系统的运动方程,在系统非奇异情形下,求得所有广义加速度. 提出一类具有负定矩阵的梯度系统, 并研究该梯度系统解的稳定性. 把这类梯度系统和变质量力学系统有机结合,给出变质量力学系统的解可以是稳定的或渐近稳定的条件, 进一步利用矩阵为负定非对称的梯度系统构造出一些解为稳定或渐近稳定的变质量力学系统. 通过具体例子,研究了变质量系统的单自由度运动,在怎样的质量变化规律、微粒分离速度和加力下,其解是稳定的或渐近稳定的. 本文的构造方法也适合其它类型的动力学系统.

The Conley Index for Fast-Slow Systems I. One-Dimensional Slow Variable

We develop a qualitative theory for fast-slow systems with a one-dimensional slow variable. Using Conley index theory for singularity perturbed systems, conditions are given which imply that if one can construct heteroclinic connections and periodic orbits in systems with the derivative of the slow variable set to 0, these orbits persist when the derivative of the slow variable is small and nonzero.     

Finite-time tracking control for a class of high-order nonlinear systems and its applications

This study investigates the problem of finite-time tracking control for a class of high-order nonlinear systems. Due to the existence of uncertain time-varying control coefficient and unknown nonlinear perturbations in the nonlinear dynamics, the existing finite-time control results cannot solve the finite-time tracking problem for this kind of nonlinear systems. Based on the technique of adding a power integrator a variable structure control method is proposed. Under the proposed control law, it is shown that the reference signal can be tracked in a finite time. As an application of the proposed theoretic results, the problem of finite-time attitude tracking control for the roll channel of bank-to-turn missile is solved. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
