Control of non‐integer‐order dynamical systems using sliding mode scheme

Abstract

This article deals with the problem of control of canonical non-integer-order dynamical systems. We design a simple dynamical fractional-order integral sliding manifold with desired stability and convergence properties. The main feature of the proposed dynamical sliding surface is transferring the sign function in the control input to the first derivative of the control signal. Therefore, the resulted control input is smooth and without any discontinuity. So, the harmful chattering, which is an inherent characteristic of the traditional sliding modes, is avoided. We use the fractional Lyapunov stability theory to derive a sliding control law to force the system trajectories to reach the sliding manifold and remain on it forever. A nonsmooth positive definite function is applied to prove the existence of the sliding motion in a given finite time. Some computer simulations are presented to show the efficient performance of the proposed chattering-free fractional-order sliding mode controller. V C 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Stability and Stabilization for a Class of Semilinear Fractional Differential Systems

“…e stability of fractional-order nonlinear systems with 0 < α < 1 was derived in [6,12,13], according to the Lyapunov approach. Based on the uncertain Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model, the stability problems of nonlinear fractional-order systems were studied, whereas the sidingmode control approach was used to investigate the stabilization and synchronization problems of the nonlinear fractional-order system (e.g., [14][15][16][17][18]). As noted, a growing number of scientists are dedicated to the stability of fractional systems, with most of the above findings concentrating only on nonlinear fractional systems of 0 < α < 1.…”

Fuzzy generalised predictive control for a class of fractional‐order non‐linear systems

“…Many studies have shown that fractional‐order non‐linear systems can exhibit unstable, even chaotic, motion under certain conditions [8–11]. In recent years, the control and synchronisation of fractional‐order non‐linear systems have drawn increasing attention, and many fractional‐order non‐linear control methods have been proposed, including backstepping control [12], pinning control [13], finite time control [14], and extremum seeking control [15].…”

Dynamics, Chaos Control, and Synchronization in a Fractional‐Order Samardzija‐Greller Population System with Order Lying in (0, 2)

“…Synchronization of chaos has also useful applications to biological, chemical, physical systems and secure communications. Furthermore, synchronization and control in chaotic fractional-order dynamical systems have been investigated by authors [30][31][32].…”
