Robust stabilization of a class of uncertain system via block decomposition and VSC

In this paper, a block decomposition procedure for sliding mode control of a class of nonlinear systems with matched and unmatched uncertainties, is proposed. Based on the nonlinear block control principle, a sliding manifold design problem is divided into a number of sub‐problems of lower dimension which can be solved independently. As a result, the nominal parts of the sliding mode dynamics is linearized. A discontinuous feedback is then used to compensate the matched uncertainty. Finally, a step‐by‐step Lyapunov technique and a high gain approach is applied to obtain hierarchical fast motions on the sliding manifolds and to achieve the robustness property of the closed‐loop system motion with respect to unmatched uncertainty.
