Control of a class of fractional-order chaotic systems via sliding mode

This paper investigates the chaos control of a class of fractional-order chaotic systems via sliding mode. First, the sliding mode control law is derived to make the states of the fractional-order chaotic systems asymptotically stable. Second, the designed control scheme guarantees asymptotical stability of the uncertain fractional-order chaotic systems in the presence of an external disturbance. Finally, simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed sliding mode control method.     

Lyapunov-based fractional-order controller design to synchronize a class of fractional-order chaotic systems

In this paper, a novel adaptive fractional-order feedback controller is first developed by extending an adaptive integer-order feedback controller. Then a simple but practical method to synchronize almost all familiar fractional-order chaotic systems has been put forward. Through rigorous theoretical proof by means of the Lyapunov stability theorem and Barbalat lemma, sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee chaos synchronization. A wide range of fractional-order chaotic systems, including the commensurate system and incommensurate case, autonomous system, and nonautonomous case, is just the novelty of this technique. The feasibility and validity of presented scheme have been illustrated by numerical simulations of the fractional-order Chen system, fractional-order hyperchaotic Lü system, and fractional-order Duffing system.     

Time-varying sliding-coefficient-based terminal sliding mode control methods for a class of fourth-order nonlinear systems

This paper presents a decoupled terminal sliding mode control (DTSMC) and 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 (primary and secondary) second-order 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 bases. Then the control target of the secondary subsystem was embedded to the primary subsystem by the help of an intermediate signal. Thereafter, the DTSMC and the NDTSMC methods were utilized separately to ensure that both subsystems converge to their equilibrium points. The inverted pendulum system was used in the simulations and results were given to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods. It is seen that the proposed methods exhibit a considerable improvement in terms of a faster dynamic response and lower IAE and ITAE values as compared with the existing decoupled control methods in the literature.     

Integral sliding mode control for fractional-order systems with mismatched uncertainties

This paper presents the integral sliding mode control for fractional-order systems with input disturbance and mismatched uncertainties. For fractional-order systems with the fractional order α satisfying 0<α<1 and 1<α<2, two theorems are proposed to design the stable integral sliding mode surfaces by the LMI conditions and the properties of the Kronecker product, respectively. Moreover, the integral sliding mode control is designed to eliminate the reaching stage for enhancing the robustness of fractional-order systems. Two examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Decentralized sliding mode control of fractional-order large-scale nonlinear systems

This paper presents some novel discussions on fully decentralized and semi-decentralized control of fractional-order large-scale nonlinear systems with two distinctive fractional derivative dynamics. First, two decentralized fractional-order sliding mode controllers with different sliding surfaces are designed. Stability of the closed-loop systems is attained under the assumption that the uncertainties and interconnections among the subsystems are bounded, and the upper bound is known. However, determining the interconnections and uncertainties bound in a large-scale system is troublesome. Therefore in the second step, two different fuzzy systems with adaptive tuning structures are utilized to approximate the interconnections and uncertainties. Since the fuzzy system uses the adjacent subsystem variables as its own input, this strategy is known as semi-decentralized fractional-order sliding mode control. For both fully decentralized and semi-decentralized control schemes, the stability of closed-loop systems has been analyzed depend on the sliding surface dynamics by integer-order or fractional-order stability theorems. Eventually, simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the suggested robust controllers.

A new adaptive fuzzy sliding mode observer for a class of MIMO nonlinear systems

In this paper, a new adaptive fuzzy sliding mode (AFSM) observer is proposed which can be used for a class of MIMO nonlinear systems. In the proposed algorithm, the zero-input dynamics of the plant could be unknown. In this method, a fuzzy system is designed to estimate the nonlinear behavior of the observer. The output of fuzzy rules are tuned adaptively, based on the observer error. The output connection matrix is used to combine the observer errors of individual subsystems. A robust term, which is designed based on the sliding mode theory, is added to the observer to compensate the fuzzy estimation error. The estimation error bound is adjusted by an adaptive law. The main advantage of the proposed observer is that, unlike many of the previous works, the measured outputs is not limited to the first entries of a canonical-form state vector. The proposed observer estimates the closed-loop state tracking error asymptotically, provided that the output gain matrix includes Hurwitz coefficients. The chattering is eliminated by using boundary layers around the sliding surfaces and the observer convergence is proved using a Lyapunov-based approach. The proposed method is applied on a real multilink robot manipulator. The performance of the observer shows its effectiveness in the real world.

This paper brings attention to the chaotic antisynchronization and synchronization for a novel class of chaotic systems with different structure and dimensions by using a new sliding mode control strategy. This approach needs only n?1 controllers, where n is the number of the salve system dimensions. And our method uses proportional integral (PI) surface and saturation function to simplify the task of assigning the performance of the closed-loop error system in sliding motion. Furthermore, the sufficient conditions are derived, and representative examples are proposed as well. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control scheme, which are in agreement with theoretical analysis.

Finite-time chaos control and synchronization of fractional-order nonautonomous chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems using fractional nonsingular terminal sliding mode technique

In this paper, a novel fractional-order terminal sliding mode control approach is introduced to control/synchronize chaos of fractional-order nonautonomous chaotic/hyperchaotic systems in a given finite time. The effects of model uncertainties and external disturbances are fully taken into account. First, a novel fractional nonsingular terminal sliding surface is proposed and its finite-time convergence to zero is analytically proved. Then an appropriate robust fractional sliding mode control law is proposed to ensure the occurrence of the sliding motion in a given finite time. The fractional version of the Lyapunov stability is used to prove the finite-time existence of the sliding motion. The proposed control scheme is applied to control/synchronize chaos of autonomous/nonautonomous fractional-order chaotic/hyperchaotic systems in the presence of both model uncertainties and external disturbances. Two illustrative examples are presented to show the efficiency and applicability of the proposed finite-time control strategy. It is worth to notice that the proposed fractional nonsingular terminal sliding mode control approach can be applied to control a broad range of nonlinear autonomous/nonautonomous fractional-order dynamical systems in finite time.

In particular, a novel fractional-order five dimensional hyperchaotic system has been introduced as a representative example. Furthermore, global stability and asymptotic synchronization between the outputs of master and slave systems can be achieved based on the modified Lyapunov functional and fractional stability condition. Simulation results are provided in detail to illustrate the performance of the proposed approach.
