We address the problem of control and synchronization of a class of uncertain chaotic systems. Our approach follows techniques of sliding mode control and adaptive estimation law. The adaptive algorithm is constructed based on the sliding mode control to ensure perfect tracking and...

A hybrid intelligent control system that combines the theories of fuzzy logic and variable structure systems (VSS) is presented. This control architecture is viewed as a discrete event system (DES) and its properties are studied using the corresponding Petri Net diagram. The equivalence between...

The stabilization problem of polytopic differential inclusion (PDI) systems is investigated by using sliding mode control. Sliding surface is designed and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of sliding mode dynamics are derived. A novel feedback law is established to make the state of...

This paper investigates the chaos synchronization problem for drive–response Chua's systems coupled with dead-zone nonlinear input. Using the sliding mode control technique, an adaptive control law is established which guarantees projective synchronization even when the dead-zone nonlinearity...

In this paper, a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based controller for single phase PWM boost rectifier is presented. The control is made up of an internal current control loop and external DC-link voltage control loop. The internal control loop allows active shaping of the line current and...

The application of modeling methods suitable for control and simulation of power electronic systems is outlined as a self-contained approach to solve the simulation and control problems of novel structures of power electronics converters. The straightforward non-linear modeling for controller...

This paper presents an adaptive control scheme for a hyper-redundant robot articulated nimble adaptable trunk (ANAT) subject to spatial constraints. An optimization scheme is applied to avoid obstacles in 3D space present in the robot's trajectory by using redundancy, and to prevent the robot...

This paper presents an indirect adaptive control scheme for nominally stabilizable, non-necessarily inversely stable, first-order continuous-time systems with unmodeled dynamics. The control objective is the adaptive stabilization of the closed-loop system with a bounded tracking error between...

Cascade control configurations offer interesting possibilities to improve the control of processes. However, the tuning of cascade controllers can be quite complex, which hampers a wider spread of applications. Using an on-line pattern recognition approach and fuzzy inferencing it is possible to...

In this paper, we study perturbed Chua’s system. First, we study the stability of equilibrium points of perturbed Chua’s system. Then, we control the chaotic behavior of perturbed Chua’s system to its equilibrium points using linear feedback control and adaptive control methods. Finally,...
