Dynamic output feedback sliding mode design for a class of linear unmatched uncertain systems
This paper investigates the output feedback stabilization problem for a class of multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) systems with matched/unmatched uncertainties by the variable structure system (VSS) with a new sliding mode control. In dynamic systems, a new idea of a sliding sector that consists of two sets of switching surfaces is proposed. A new invariance condition is derived such that the reduced-order system in the new sliding mode is completely invariant to both matched and unmatched uncertainties. Additionally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and to reduce the drawbacks of conventional VSS design, a modified dynamic variable structure controller using only the output variables is applied to perform the sliding mode. Furthermore, a stability analysis of the overall system is also provided. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the control scheme.
