Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sliding mode control (SMC) and sliding mode observation (SMO) provide effective ways for designing robust controllers and observers. This Special Issue covers recent advances in both sliding mode control and observation, which includes the following two categories: First, theoretical results on SMC and SMO, including novel design methods for controller and observer, and novel analysis results on the system dynamics of sliding mode systems, such as chattering analysis, discretization effects on the algorithms, frequency analysis, and so forth. The second part focuses on the applications of SMC or SMO in various systems, including power systems, mechatronics systems, power electronics, multiagent systems, underactuated systems, networked control systems, energy systems, and so on. The primary objective of this Special Issue is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to share their latest theoretical and technological achievements and to identify critical issues and challenges for future research on SMC/SMO. The submitted papers are expected to share original ideas and potential contributions for theory and application. Please note that your submission must be related to Symmetry.

In this paper, we study the event-triggered integral sliding mode optimal tracking problem of nonlinear systems with matched and unmatched disturbances. The goal is to design an adaptive dynamic programming-based sliding-mode controller, which stabilizes the closed-loop system and guarantees the optimal performance of the sliding-mode dynamics. First, in order to remove the effects of the matched uncertainties, an event-triggered sliding mode controller is designed to force the state of the systems on the sliding mode surface without Zeno behavior. Second, another event-triggered controller is designed to suppress unmatched disturbances with a nearly optimal performance while also guaranteeing Zeno-free behavior. Finally, the benefits of the proposed algorithm are shown in comparison to several traditional triggering and learning-based mechanisms. Full article

Dynamic traffic monitoring is a critical part of industrial communication network cybersecurity, which can be used to analyze traffic behavior and identify anomalies. In this paper, industrial networks are modeled by a dynamic fluid-flow model of TCP behavior. The model can be described as a class of systems with unmeasurable states. In the system, anomalies and normal variants are represented by the queuing dynamics of additional traffic flow (ATF) and can be considered as a disturbance. The novel contributions are described as follows: (1) a novel continuous terminal sliding-mode observer (TSMO) is proposed for such systems to estimate the disturbance for traffic monitoring; (2) in TSMO, a novel output injection strategy is proposed using the finite-time stability theory to speed up convergence of the internal dynamics; and (3) a full-order sliding-mode-based mechanism is developed to generate a smooth output injection signal for real-time estimations, which is directly used for anomaly detection. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach, the real traffic profiles from the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) DDoS attack datasets are used. Full article

This paper investigates the fixed-time formation (FixF) control problem for second-order multi-agent systems (MASs), where each agent is subject to disturbance and the communication network is general directed. First, a FixF protocol is presented based on the backstepping technique, where the distributed cooperative variable structure control method is utilized to handle the bounded disturbances. Then, to remove the dependence of control gains on the global information, a practical adaptive FixF control is presented, where the MASs can achieve formation with a bounded error within fixed time. Finally, a numerical example is presented to validate the theoretical result. Full article

In this study, the problem of observer-based adaptive sliding mode control is discussed for nonlinear systems with sensor and actuator faults. The time-varying actuator degradation factor and external disturbance are considered in the system simultaneously. In this study, the original system is described as a new normal system by combining the state vector, sensor faults, and external disturbance into a new state vector. For the augmented system, a new sliding mode observer is designed, where a discontinuous term is introduced such that the effects of sensor and actuator faults and external disturbance will be eliminated. In addition, based on a tricky design of the observer, the time-varying actuator degradation factor term is developed in the error system. On the basis of the state estimation, an integral-type adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller is constructed to ensure the stability of the closed-loop system. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control methods can be illustrated with a numerical example. Full article

In this paper, the Singular-Polynomial-Fuzzy-Model (SPFM) approach problem and impulse elimination are investigated based on sliding mode control for a class of nonlinear singular system (NSS) with impulses. Considering two numerical examples, the SPFM of the nonlinear singular system is calculated based on the compound function type and simple function type. According to the solvability and the steps of two numerical examples, the method of solving the SPFM form of the nonlinear singular system with (and without) impulse are extended to the more general case. By using the Heine–Borel finite covering theorem, it is proven that a class of nonlinear singular systems with bounded impulse-free item (BIFI) properties and separable impulse item (SII) properties can be approximated by SPFM with arbitrary accuracy. The linear switching function and sliding mode control law are designed to be applied to the impulse elimination of SPFM. Compared with some published works, a human posture inverted pendulum model example and Example 3.2 demonstrate that the approximation error is small enough and that both algorithms are effective. Example 3.3 is to illustrate that sliding mode control can effectively eliminate impulses of SPFM. Full article
