Nonsingular terminal sliding mode control of a class of nonlinear dynamical systems

Abstract In this paper, a nonsingular terminal sliding mode concept is introduced for the control of a class of nonlinear dynamical systems. This nonsingular terminal sliding mode control not only enables the £nite time convergence of the system equilibrium, but also eliminates the singularity problem associated with conventional terminal sliding mode control. Simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the design.
