This paper considers the output feedback variable structure control problem for a class of uncertain switched systems. A single sliding surface is constructed using only output information. Robust stability of the sliding motion restricted to the sliding surface is achieved and complete invariance to the matched and the mismatched uncertainties is guaranteed via a hysteresis switching law based on a reduced order observer. Output feedback variable structure controllers are given to guarantee that the redefined sliding surface is reached in finite time. A numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
