Adaptive sliding mode control in a novel class of chaotic systems

This paper proposes a robust adaptive sliding mode control strategy for an introduced class of uncertain chaotic systems. Using the sliding mode control technique and based on Lyapunov stability theory, a time varying sliding surface is determined and an adaptive gain of the robust control law will be tuned to stabilize the new chaotic class. Unlike many well-known methods of the sliding mode control, no knowledge on the bound of uncertainty and disturbance is required. Simulation results are demonstrated for several chaotic examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive sliding mode control scheme. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
