Abstract
Recently, an extension of the super-twisting algorithm for relative degrees <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$m\geq {}1$</tex-math></inline-formula> has been proposed. However, as of yet, no Lyapunov functions for this algorithm exist. This paper discusses the construction of Lyapunov functions by means of the sum-of-squares technique for <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$m=1$</tex-math></inline-formula> . Sign definiteness of both Lyapunov function and its time derivative is shown in spite of numerically obtained—and hence possibly inexact—sum-of-squares decompositions. By choosing the Lyapunov function to be a positive semidefinite, the finite time attractivity of the system's multiple equilibria is shown. A simple modification of this semidefinite function yields a positive definite Lyapunov function as well. Based on this approach, a set of the algorithm's tuning parameters ensuring finite-time convergence and stability in the presence of bounded uncertainties is proposed. Finally, a generalization of the approach for <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX"> $m>1$</tex-math></inline-formula> is outlined.
