Abstract: This paper presents a technique for control system design that provides robust stability in the presence of bounded modeling errors. The proposed method is a discrete-time version of a well ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the application of a class of discrete-time sliding mode controllers (DSMC) which was previously shown to be robustly stable. Further insight into design and performance of ...

Abstract: The state-of-the-art of nonlinear state estimators or “observers” is reviewed. The use of these observers in real time nonlinear compensators is evaluated in terms of their on-line computational ...

Abstract: Sliding controllers have recently been shown to feature excellent robustness and performance properties for specific classes of nonlinear tracking problems. This paper examines the potential use ...

Abstract: Algorithm based fault tolerance is studied for use with linear estimation algorithms such as the Kalman filter. Emphasis is placed on the study of algorithm based fault tolerance used in ...
