A New Adaptive-Robust Design for Time Delay Control under State-Dependent Stability Condition

This brief proposes a new adaptive-robust formulation for time-delay control (TDC) under a less-restrictive stability condition. TDC relies on estimating the unknown system dynamics via the artificial introduction of a time delay, often referred to as time-delay estimation (TDE). In conventional TDC, the estimation error, called TDE error, is...

Overcoming the underestimation and overestimation problems in adaptive sliding mode control

Underestimation and overestimation problems are commonly observed in conventional adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC). These problems refer to the fact that the adaptive controller gain unnecessarily increases when the states are approaching the sliding surface (overestimation) or improperly decreases when the states are getting far from it ...
