Decentralized variable-structure control design for uncertain large-scale systems with series nonlinearities

摘要

This paper presents a robust decentralized control for large-scale interconnected systems with series nonlinearities through variable-structure control. The proposed variable-structure control ensures the global reaching condition of the sliding mode of the composite system. The uncertain nonlinear system also possesses insensitivity to uncertainties and disturbances like a linear system does. Furthermore, the sliding mode can converge within a specified exponential speed.
