Control in the presence of uncertainty is one of the main topics of modern control theory. In
the formulation of any control problem there is always a discrepancy between the actual …

In this study, a finite-time velocity-free rendezvous control method is considered for multiple
autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems with intermittent undirected communication …

A method to construct a family of strict Lyapunov functions, ie, with negative definite
derivative, for the super-twisting algorithm, without or with perturbations, is provided. This …

In this paper, an output feedback stabilization of perturbed double-integrator systems using
super-twisting control (STC) is studied. It is shown that when STC is implemented based on …

In this paper a strong Lyapunov function is obtained, for the first time, for the super twisting
algorithm, an important class of second order sliding modes (SOSM). This algorithm is …

This paper investigates the adaptive sliding mode control problem of nonlinear Markovian
jump systems (MJSs) with partly unknown transition probabilities. The system state …

In this paper, a novel finite time fault tolerant control (FTC) is proposed for uncertain robot
manipulators with actuator faults. First, a finite time passive FTC (PFTC) based on a robust …

A continuous output feedback control scheme rendering the closed-loop double integrator
system globally stable in finite-time is presented. In particular, the convergence time is …

A new approach to the design of nonlinear disturbance observers (DOBs) for a class of
nonlinear systems described by input-output differential equations is presented in this paper …

A new smooth second-order sliding mode control is proposed and proved using
homogeneity-based technique for a system driven by sufficiently smooth uncertain …
