1. Introduction
The VSS with the SMC can provide the effective means to the control of uncertain linear
dynamical systems under parameter variations and external disturbances[1-3]. One of its essential advantages is the robustness of the controlled system to matched
parameter uncertainties and external disturbances in the sliding mode on the predetermined
sliding surface[4-6]. However the VSS has the three problems, those are the reaching phase[3], chattering problem[5], and proof problem of the existence condition of the sliding mode on the predetermined
sliding surface for the complete formation of the VSS design.
The reaching phase is the transient period until the controlled system first touches
to the sliding surface. During this phase, the sliding mode can not be realized. So
the robustness is not guaran- teed[6]. The alleviations of this reaching phase problem are the use of the high-gain feedback[10], adaptive change of the rotation of the sliding surface[3], segmented sliding surface[11], moving sliding surfaces[12-14]. integral sliding surface[6,9,15-17,19,20], nonlinear integral type sliding surface[21-25], etc[7]. In the integral sliding surface[6,9,15-17,19,20] and the two works of the nonlinear integral type sliding surface[24,25], the reaching phase is completely removed, and the controlled output is predicted
and predetermined by means of the solution of the ideal sliding dynamics of the integral
sliding surface or nonlinear integral type sliding surface.
On the other hand, the chattering in the VSS is the discon- tinuously high frequency
inherent switching of the control input according to the sign of the sliding surface
in the neighborhood of the sliding surface, which is undesirable for practical real
plants, may excite the unmodeled high frequency dynamics, reduces the usable life
time of actuators, and results in the loss of the asymptotic stability and poor steady
state tracking error[26]. Until now, there are many approaches to attenuate the chattering pro- blems, those
are the saturation function[17,27,28], boundary layer method[29-31], observer-based approach[32,33], higher-order approach[34-36], adaptive method[37], fuzzy SMC[31,38-40], neural net SMC[38,41,42], filtering technique[43], digital sliding mode scheme[44], fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode[45,46], and uncertainty and disturbance estimation technique[47], etc[48]. Each method has the advantages and disadvantages at the same time.
About the proof problem of the existence condition of the sliding mode on the predetermined
sliding surface for the complete formulation of the VSS design, in case of single
input uncertain linear plants, this proof problem coincides with the stability pro-
blems of the closed loop systems. However, in case of multi input systems, the existence
condition of the sliding mode is a much more strict problem than the Lyapunov stability
one[49]. Through the proof of the existence condition of the sliding mode as the complete
formulation of the VSS design, the strong robustness on the every point on the pre-selected
sliding surface is guaranteed and shown. Utkin proposed the invariant theorem of the
two methods of the two transformation(diagonalization) techniques, i.e. the control
input transformation and sliding surface transformation in [2][2] without the complete proof. That was reviewed in [4][4]. For multi input uncertain linear plants, normally the Lya-punov stbility is used
instead of proving the existence condition of the sliding mode. In case of multi input
uncertain linear plants, Utkin’s theorem is proved completely in [49][49]. For single input uncertain nonlinear plants, Utkin;s theorem is proved in [50][50]. Owing to the Utkin’s theorem, the proof problem of the existence condition of the
sliding mode on the predetermined sliding surface becomes the much more easy job,
and there are the two algorithms(approaches) of the control input transformed VSS
and sliding surface transformed VSS due to the two transfor- mation methods.
In [51][51], to provide the prescribed control performance with an initial valued integral sliding
surface and continuous transformed control input without the reaching phase, chattering,
and proof problems of the existence condition of the sliding mode, an improved continuous
control input transformation integral variable structure system is designed for simple
regulation control of single input uncertain general linear systems.
In this paper, as an alternative approach of the control input transformed VSS in
[51][51], an sliding surface transformation ICTISMC with the prescribed control performance
is presented for simple regulation controls of uncertain general linear systems. In
the proposed algorithm, the three problems of the VSS, ie. the reaching phase, chattering
problem, and proof problem are addressed to by means of the transformed integral sliding
surface with a special initial condition and modified fixed boundary layer methods.
The reaching phase is completely removed, the chattering is dramatically improved,
and the existence condition of the sliding mode together with the closed loop exponential
stability is proved clearly for the complete formation. The ideal sliding dynamics
of the transformed integral sliding surface is dynamically obtained from a given initial
condition to the origin in advance after the state transformation. By using the solution
of the ideal sliding dynamics, the controlled output from a given initial condition
to the origin is predictable and predetermined. The norm of the error of tracking
to the transformed integral sliding surface is analyzed analytically as a specification
on tracking to the trans- formed integral sliding surface. Theoretically a discontinuous
input with the exponential stability is proposed and practically by means of the modified
fixed boundary layer method, a continuous input is suggested with providing the tool
of the increase of the tracking accuracy to the transformed integral sliding surface
even better tracking accuracy than that of the discontinuous input. With the continuous
input, the exponential stability is lost and the bounded stability is obtained but
the tracking accuracy is even improved with the prescribed control performance. A
design example and simulation study shows the usefulness of the main results.
2. An Continuous Integral Variable Structure Systems
2.1 Descriptions of plants
An n-th order uncertain general linear plant is described by
where z(⋅)∈Rn is the original state, u(⋅)∈R1 is the control
input, f∈Rr is the external disturbance, respectively, A0 and B0
is the nominal parameter matrices, ΔA, ΔB and D are the bounded
matrix uncertainties and those satisfy the matching condition as follows
Moreover the assumption on ΔB is made.
AssumptionA1:It is assumed the following equation is satisfied for a non zero element
coefficient vector Cz1∈R1×n
where η is a positive constant less than 1.
The assumption 1 means that the value of uncertainty ΔB is less than the nominal
value B0, which is acceptable in practical situations.
The purpose of the controller design is to control of the state of (1) to follow the predetermined intermediate sliding dynamics (trajectory) from a given
initial state to the origin. By the state transformation, x=Pz, a weak canonical
form [9][9] of (1) is obtained as
where
where x(0) is the initial condition transformed from z(0) and d(t) is the lumped
uncertainty in the transformed system as
In (5), b is 1, then the system (4) is the standard canonical form, otherwise, then the (4) is the weak canonical one[9].
2.2 Design of Transformed Integral sliding Surfaces
To design the ICTISMC, the transformed[49] integral sliding surfaces[6,15,16] are suggested to the following form having an integral of the state with a certain
initial condition as
where the coefficient matrices and the initial conditions for the integral states
are expressed as shown
The initial conditions (10a) and (10b) for the integral states in (7) and (8) are selected so that the transformed integral sliding surfaces are the zeros at t=0
for removing the reaching phase[6,16], which is stemmed from the idea in [15][15] Without these initial conditions, the reaching phase still exists and the overshoot
problem maybe exist because the integral state starting from the zero will be re-regulated
to the zero[6,8,27]. From
the differential equation for xn is obtained as
where
Combing (12) with the first n-1 differential equation in the system (4) leads to the ideal sliding dynamics
and
where
which is considered as a dynamic representation of the trans- formed integral sliding
surfaces (7) or (8)[6]. The solutions of (14) and (15), x∗s and z∗s coincide with and predetermine the transformed integral
sliding surfaces (7) and (8)(the sliding trajec- tories) from a given initial condition to the origin[15]. By using the solutions of (14) and (15), the output is predetermined and predicted. To design the transformed integral sliding
surfaces (7) and (8), the system matrix Λc is to be stable or Hurwitz, that is all the eignvalues
of Λc have the negative real parts. To choose the coefficient vectors of
the transformed integral sliding surfaces by means of the well known linear regulator
theories, (14) and (15) are transformed to the each nominal system form of (1) and (4)
where
and expressed with the original state as
where
After determining K or G to have the desired ideal sliding dynamics, the coefficient
vectors of the transformed integral sliding surfaces (7) or (8) can be directly chosen from the relationship
which is derived from (18). If this regulation control problem is designed by using the nominal plants (17) or (19), then the transformed integral sliding surface having exactly the same performance
can be effectively chosen by using (21). If Λc is designed to be Hurwitz, then which guarantees the exponential
stability of the system (14) and there exist the positive scalar constants K1 and k such that
where ‖⋅‖ is the induced Euclidean norm as √trace(eΛctT⋅eΛct).
Now, define ¯E0(t) and ¯E1(t) are the modified error
vector from the ideal sliding trajectory and its derivative, ie. the error vector,
respectively as
where
If the transformed integral sliding surface is the zero for all time, naturally this
defined error and its derivative are also the zeros. The transformed integral sliding
surfaces may be not exactly zeros if the control input of the ICTISMC is continuously
imple- mented. Hence the effect of the non-zero value of the transfor-med integral
sliding surface to the error to the sliding trajectory is analyzed in the following
Theorem 1[19] as a prerequisite to the main theorem.
Theorem 1 : If the transformed integral sliding surfaces defined by equation (7) or (8) satisfy ‖s(t)‖≦γ for any t≧0 and ‖¯E0(0)‖≦γ/κ is satisfied at the initial time, then
is satisfied for all t≧0 where ϵ1 and ϵ2 are the positive
con- stants defined as follows:
Proof: The transformed integral sliding surface can be re-written as
and can be re-expressed in a differential matrix from as
In (28), the transformed integral sliding surface may be con- sidered as the bounded disturbance
input, ‖s(t)‖≦γ. The solution of (28) is expressed as
From the boundness of the transformed sliding surface and (22), the Euclidean norm of the vector ¯E0 becomes
for all time, t≧0. From (28), the following equation is obtained
which completes the proof of Theorem 1.
The above Theorem 1 implies that the modified error vector and error vector from the
ideal sliding trajectory are uniformly bounded provided the transformed integral sliding
surface is bounded for all time t≧0. Using this result of Theorem 1, we can
give the specifications on the norm of the error vector from the ideal sliding trajectory
being dependent upon the value of the transformed integral sliding surface, (7). In the next section, we will design the discontinuous and continuous variable structure
regulation controllers which can guarantee the boundedness of s(t), i.e., ‖s(t)‖≦γ for a given γ, then the error vector to the ideal sliding trajectory
is bounded by ϵ2 in virtue of Theorem 1.
2.3 Transformed Discontinuous and Continuous Control Inputs
As the second design phase of the ICTISMC, a following cor- responding discontinuous
control input to generate the perfect sliding mode on the every point of the pre-selected
transformed integral sliding surface from a given initial state to the origin is proposed
as composing of the continuous and discontinuously switching terms
where
The G_{1} \cdot s in the continuous feedback term can reinforce the controlled systems
in more closer tracking to the pre-selected ideal transformed integral sliding surface
from a given initial condition to the origin[6,15,27] in order to increase the control accuracy and steady state performance. By this discontinuous
control input, the real dynamics of s, i.e. the time derivative of s becomes
The closed loop stability and existence of the sliding mode on the preselected transformed
integral sliding surface by the proposed discontinuous control input will be investigated
in the next theorem.
Theorem 2 : The proposed integral variable structure controller with the discontinuous
input (32) and the transformed integral sliding surface (7) can exhibit the exponential stability to the ideal transformed integral sliding surface
and the ideal output of the sliding dynamics for all the uncertainties exactly defined
by the transformed integral sliding surface (7).
Proof: Take a Lyapunov candidate function as
Differentiating (38) with time leads to
Substituting (37) into (39) and by (33)-(36), one can obtain the following equation
From (40), the following equation is obtained as
which completes the proof.
As can be seen in (40) and (41), because is included in the decay rate parameter, the larger , the fast closer tracking
to the transformed integral sliding surface. The term can increase the steady state
performance and control accuracy to the ideal transformed sliding surface including
the zero(origin) within the boundary layer. The exponential stability to the transformed
integral sliding surface and the existence condition of the sliding mode on the every
point of the transformed integral sliding surface is proved, while in the previous
works on the VSS, only the asymptotic stability is guaranteed[1,7,8,22,47]. The sliding mode on the every point of the transformed integral sliding surface
from a given initial state to the origin is guaranteed. Hence the sliding output from
a given initial state to the origin is insensitive to the matched uncertainties and
external disturbances by the proposed discontinuous VSS input (32). By using the solution of the ideal sliding dynamics (15), the controlled output from a given initial state to the origin can be predicted
and predetermined, as an attractive performance in the theoretic aspect, because the
reaching phase is removed and the existence condition of the sliding mode is proved.
The discontinuous input (32) can regulate the transformed integral sliding surface to be zero theore- tically.
However, the control input is discontinuous which results in the chattering problems[5,26]. So for practical applications, the discontinuous input term is essentially approximated
to be continuous. By using the modified fixed boundary layer method[51], the discontinuous input (32) has changed to the following form
where MBLF(s) is defined as a modified fixed boundary layer function as follows:
Because the switching terms in (42) are stable itself which is shown through Theorem 2, the MBLF(s) function can not
influence on the closed loop stability and only can modify the magnitude of the switching
terms within the fixed boundary layer instead of the sign function when s is positive
as well as negative. If l_{+}=l_{-}, then the MBLF(s) function is symmetric, otherwise
it is asymmetric, which is suitable in case of the unbalanced uncertainty and disturbance
and unbalanced chattering inputs.
Theorem 3 : The proposed integral variable structure controller with the suggested
continuous input (42) and the transformed integral sliding surface (7) can exhibit the bounded stability for all the uncertainties and external disturbances.
Proof: Take a Lyapunov candidate function as
From the proof of Theorem 2, we can obtain the following equation
as long as \left.\right|_{S}(z, t) | \geqq l=\max \left(l_{+}, l_{-}\right). From
(45), the following equation is obtained as
as long as |s(z, t)| \geqq l, which completes the proof.
As can be seen in (45) and (46), outside the boundary layer, the exponential stability is still guaranteed and inside
the boundary layer the G_{1} \cdot s term can increase the control accuracy and
steady state performance. The larger G_{1}, the closer tracking to the ideal transformed
sliding surface from a given initial condition to the origin. By Theorem 3, the continuously
imple- mented control input (42) can guarantee that the transformed integral sliding surface (7) is bounded by l. Hence it is possible to design that l is less than \gamma,
that is l \leqq \gamma. Thus the trans- formed integral sliding surface is bounded
by \gamma which satisfies the condition of Theorem 1. Then by Theorem 1, the fact
that the norm of the error vector to the ideal transformed sliding surface is bounded
by \epsilon_{2} is possible as the prescribed control performance.
3. Design Examples and Simulation Studies
Consider a following plant with uncertainties and disturbances[9]
where
The ICTISMC controller aims to drive the output of the plant (47) to the ideal transformed sliding surface from any given initial state to the origin.
The transformation matrix to a control- lable weak canonical form and the resultant
transformed system matrices are
By means of Ackermanns formula, the continuous static gain is obtained
so that the closed loop double eigenvalues of \Lambda_{c} are located at -3. Hence,
the \Lambda_{c} in (14) and (18) and P^{-1} \Lambda_{c} P in (15) and (20) become
By using the solution (14) or (15), the regulated output from a given initial state to the origin can be predicted and
predetermined. By the relationship (21), the coefficient matrices of the integral sliding surface directly becomes
As a result, the transformed integral sliding surface becomes
The constants K_{1} and k in the equation (22) are selected as K_{1}=3.8 and k=1.0, hence the constants \epsilon_{1} and \epsilon_{2}
in (25) and (26) are determined as \epsilon_{1}=7.6 \gamma and \epsilon_{2}=84.56 \gamma. The
specification on the norms of the error vector to the ideal sliding surface and the
modified error vector, \epsilon_{2} and \epsilon_{1} are given as \epsilon_{2}=2
and \epsilon_{1}=0.1798 for an example. Then the \gamma is determined as \gamma
=0.0237. The discontinuous input automatically and theoretically satisfy that the
norm value of the integral sliding surface is bounded by \gamma = 0.0237. For practical
applications, the continuous input essen- tially adapted with little performance degradation
as expected in the design stage. Therefore, l is determined less than \gamma =
0.0237 that is l=l_{+}=l_{-}=0.02. For the second design phase of the ICTISMC,
the equation (3) in the Assumption A1 is calculated
Thus the Assumption A1 is satisfied in this design. The K_{z} of (33) becomes
The inequalities for the switching gains in discontinuous input terms, (34)-(36) become
Finally the selected control gains are
The simulation is carried out using a Fortran software under 0.1[msec] sampling time
and with z(0)=[2-1.5]^{T} initial condi- tion. Fig. 1 shows the control results of the designed ICTISMC by the proposed discontinuous control
input (32) with the trans- formed integral sliding surface (54) in the upper figure the two output responses, z_{1} and z_{2} for the three cases
(i) the ideal sliding outputs that is the solution of (15), (ii) the outputs without the uncertainty and disturbance, and (iii) the outputs
with the uncertainty and disturbance and in the bottom figure, the three case phase
trajectories. As can be seen in the upper figure, the three case outputs are almost
equal, which means that Fig. 1 shows the strong and complete robustness against uncertainty and disturbance because
of removing the reaching phase, prediction of the output by using the solution of
(15), and predetermination of the output directly according to the pre-chosen of the integral
sliding surface, as the attractive features in the theoretical point of view. Those
are the same performances as those of [51][51]. Fig. 2 shows the discontinuous sliding surface with the uncertainty and disturbance in the
upper figure and in the bottom figure the discontinuous control input with the uncertainty
and disturbance. As can be seen in the upper and bottom figures, the controlled system
chatters and slides from t=0 without the reaching phase. Since the integral sliding
surface is naturally defined from any given initial condition to the origin, there
is no need of consideration of the reaching mode. The value of the integral sliding
surface is no more decreased as increase of the switching gains and G_{1} of the
input because of the finite sampling frequency, discontinuous chattering of the switching
input, and digital imple- mentation of the VSS. The transformed integral sliding surface
and the control input (32) is discontinuous because of the swit- ching of the sign function in the control input
(32), which is undesirable for practical applications. Therefore, the continuous approximation
of the discontinuous input is essentially necessary. Based on the modified boundary
layer function (43), the control input is continuously implemented as (42). The positive(negative) thickness of the boundary layer is not smaller than the positive
(negative) maximum magnitude of the chattering of the integral sliding surface in
the upper figure of Fig. 2. Thus the positive (negative) maximum magnitude of the chattering of the transformed
integral sliding surface must be smaller than l_{+}\left(l_{-}\right). If not, re-
design with larger \epsilon_{2}. Fig. 3 shows the control results of the designed ICTISMC by the proposed continuous control
input (42) with the transformed integral sliding surface (54) in the upper figure the two output responses, z_{1} and z_{2} for the three cases
(i) the ideal sliding outputs that is the solution of (15), (ii) the outputs without the uncertainty and disturbance, and (iii) the outputs
with the uncertainty and disturbance and in the bottom figure the three case phase
trajectories. As can be seen in Fig. 3, the three outputs and phase trajectories are almost identical to each other by the
continuous input with the better performance than that of the discontinuous input
in Fig.1, which is the same performance as that of [51][51]. Fig. 4 shows the continuous trans- formed sliding surface with the uncertainty and disturbance
in the upper figure and in the bottom figure the continuous control input with the
uncertainty and disturbance. The transformed integral sliding surface is continuous,
is bounded by l=0.02, and much smaller than that of the discontinuous input because
of the large G_{1}. The control input in the bottom figure is dramatically improved
from the bottom figure of Fig. 2. There exists the tool to increase the tracking accuracy and steady state performance
by means of increase of G_{1} gain. But, the increase over G_{1}=14650.0 makes
the chattering and more increase does unstable in the closed loop system due to the
high gain effect. Fig. 5 shows the norms of the tracking error vector to the transformed integral sliding
surface (i) for the discontinuous input with uncertainty and disturbance and (ii)
for the continuous input with uncertainty and disturbance. Both the norms of the tracking
vectors to the transfor- med integral sliding surface are smaller than \epsilon_{2}^{\prime}=\left\|P^{-1}\right\|
\epsilon_{2}=7.746, which means that the specification on the tracking error to the
transformed integral sliding surface is satisfied. In Fig. 5 at 2 second, the norms of tracking vectors of the discontinuous input and continuous
input is 0.0114 and 0.0089, respectively. By com-paring the simulation figures
of the discontinuous and continuous inputs, it is concluded that the performance of
the continuous input is better than that of the discontinuous input in view of the
tracking to the ideal transformed integral sliding surface, the accuracy of the transformed
integral sliding surface, and the continuity and magnitude of the control input. While
in the theoretical point of view, one can use the discontinuous input directly, in
practical aspects, one can use the continuous input based on the modified fixed boundary
layer method with the prescribed and better control performance.

4. Conclusions
Due to Utkin’s theorem, there are the two algorithms(approaches) in the design of
the VSS for the complete formation, those are the control input transformation VSS
and sliding surface trans- formation VSS. The control input transformed VSS with the
prescribed control performance was proposed in [51][51]. In this paper, the sliding surface transformed VSS is designed as an alternative
approach of[51] with the same performance. With the sliding surface transformation,
the simple regulation control of uncertain general linear systems is handled by means
of a discontinuous and continuous improved integral sliding mode control with the
prescribed control performance. To remove the reaching phase, a transformed integral
sliding surface with an integral state having a special initial condition is defined
from a given initial state to the origin. The ideal sliding dynamics of the transformed
integral sliding surface is obtained in the dynamic form. The solution of the ideal
sliding dynamics coincides with the transformed integral sliding surface from a given
initial condition to the origin. Also by using the solution of the ideal sliding dynamics
of the transformed integral sliding surface, the controlled output can be predicted
and predetermined in advance as an attractive property in the theoretical aspect.
The relationship between the norm of the error vector to the ideal transformed integral
sliding surface and the non-zero value of the transformed sliding surface due to the
continuous control input is analyzed and obtained analytically in Theorem 1, provided
that the value of the transformed integral sliding surface is bounded by \gamma
for all t. In the theoretical aspect, a corresponding discontinuous input with a
feedback of the transformed sliding surface itself is proposed to generate the sliding
mode on the every point of the transformed integral sliding surface from g given initial
condition to the origin. The exponential stability to the transformed integral sliding
surface including the origin together with the existence condition of the sliding
mode is investigated in Theorem 2. For the high potential of practical applications,
the continuous modification of the discontinuous input is made based on the modified
fixed boundary layer method. The bounded stability of the continuous input is studied
in Theorem 3. Outside the boun- dary layer, the exponential stability is still guaranteed.
Inside the boundary layer, the G_{1} \cdot s term increase the control accuracy
and steady state performance. If one can design that l is smaller than \gamma,
then it is possible that the value of the transformed integral sliding surface is
bounded by \gamma, and thus the norm of the error vector to the ideal transformed
sliding surface is bounded by \epsilon_{2} with the continuous input proposed in
this paper as the prescribed control performance. The algorithm with the continuous
input can provide the effective mean to increase the tracking accuracy to the transformed
integral sliding surface from a given initial state to the origin and the steady state
performance by means of the increase of G_{1}. In fact, because of the large G_{1},
the performance of the continuous input is better than that of the discontinuous input,
while the performance of the discontinuous input is no more improved as the increase
of the control gains because of the finite sampling frequency, chattering of the input,
and digital implementation of the VSS. The continuity of the input is dramatically
improved based on the modified fixed boundary layer method. Through an illustrative
example and simulation study, the effectiveness of the proposed main results is verified.
In the simulation study, it is shown that the same performance as that of [51][51] is obtained. In the theoretical point of view, one can use the discontinuous input
for the attractive performance of output prediction and predetermination and ex- ponential
stability to the transformed integral sliding surface including the origin, however
in the aspect of practical applications, one can use the proposed continuous input
with not the performance degradation but the better performance.
