Variable structure control for nonlinear discrete systems using neural networks

Neural network based variable structure control is proposed for the design of nonlinear discrete systems. Sliding mode control is used to provide good stability and robustness performance for nonlinear systems. An affine nonlinear neural predictor is introduced to predict the outputs of the nonlinear process and to make the variable structure control algorithm simple and easy to implement. When the predictor model is inaccurate, variable structure control with sliding modes is used to improve the stability of the system. A recursive weight learning algorithm for the neural networks based affine nonlinear predictor is also developed and the convergence of both the weights and the estimation error is analysed.
