Variable structure control of a class of uncertain systems. (Q1426261): Difference between revisions

A class of nonlinear nonautonomous single-input uncertain control systems is considered. An adaptive variable structure controller is proposed to stabilize the system to a desired state vector. The main result is an adaptation scheme for tuning the parameters of the controller in order to guarantee the negative definiteness of the time derivative of a suitable constructed Lyapunov function. The performance of the proposed scheme is tested on the control of a Duffing oscillator. Corresponding simulation results are also presented.
