Adaptive robust methods to design a smooth integral variable structure controller

Abstract

This paper presents new adaptive robust methods to design a smooth integral variable structure controller for perturbed single-input-single-output systems. The proposed control methods here are the extension of the existing approaches using μ - modification scheme which achieves smooth control efforts, meanwhile ensures the uniform tracking error bound with designated accuracy. The proposed scheme also works for some classes of non-minimum phase systems. Two examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
