This paper proposes a Lyapunov approach to the design of a multivariable generalized Super-Twisting algorithm (MGSTA), which is able to control a system with perturbations and uncertain control matrix, both depending on time and the system states. The presented procedure shows that, under reasonable assumptions for the uncertainties, it is always possible to find a set of constant gains for the MGSTA in order to ensure global and robust finite-time stability of the system's outputs. Simulation results on an omnidirectional mobile robot illustrate the performance of the MGSTA.
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.
