A new continuous high order sliding mode controller for synchronizing perturbed Genesio-Tesi systems in finite time

Abstract

This paper presents the solution for synchronizing of perturbed Genesio-Tesi systems in finite time. A new homogeneous high order sliding mode control approach is introduced ensuring the finite-time synchronization despite perturbations in the considered systems. By combining a proposed Lyapunov function and the homogeneity concept, the proposed controller possesses superior features such as requiring only one control input signal to obtain finite-time synchronization, resulting in a continuous control signal that significantly reduces the chattering effect without an additional differentiator, and compensating a wide class of perturbations. The computer simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach, compared with two existing control schemes. (C) 2020 The Franklin Institute.
