Abstract:
This paper presents a new discrete-time adaptive second-order sliding mode control with time delay estimation (TDE) for a class of uncertain nonlinear time-varying strict-feedback systems. The existing researches on time delay control (TDC) are conventionally established based on a stability criterion that is subject to the infinitesimal time delay assumption. Recently, this criterion was rejected and a new criterion was proposed for the development of a controller for systems with fully known dynamics. In this study, this approach is extended to uncertain systems. Specifically, a new criterion is developed for the stability of the TDE-error within an adaptive robust controller design without the infinitesimal time delay assumption. With the proposed adaptive robust control, there is no need for determination of uncertainties upper-bounds. Simulation results illustrate the efficacy of the proposed controller.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
