Input-Output Finite-Time Sliding Mode Control of Discrete Time-Varying Systems Under an Adaptive Event-Triggered Mechanism

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the issue of input-output finite-time stability (IO-FTS) for a class of nonlinear discrete time-varying systems. A time-varying observer-based sliding mode control method is proposed. In order to mitigate the transmission burden, an adaptive event-triggered mechanism is proposed by adjusting the threshold. Taking consideration of the effect of time-delay phenomenon and time-varying system matrices, a time-varying Lyapunov functional is designed. Based on the designed Lyapunov functional and IO-FTS theory, sufficient conditions are established for the error estimation system and closed-loop state estimation system. Moreover, the proposed observer-based sliding mode control method makes sure the reachability of the quasi-sliding mode surface in finite steps. And conditions in terms of recursive linear matrix inequalities (RLMIs) are attained to ensure IO-FTS during both reaching phase and sliding mode phase. An algorithm is provided to solve the RLMIs and obtain the time-varying observer gains. Finally, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method is demonstrated by an industrial continuous-stirred tank reactor system.
