Terminal sliding mode

Last updated June 19, 2024

In the early 1990s, a new type of sliding mode control, named terminal sliding modes (TSM) was invented at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) by Venkataraman and Gulati.^[1] TSM is robust non-linear control approach.

The main idea of terminal sliding mode control evolved out of seminal work on terminal attractors done by Zak in the JPL, and is evoked by the concept of terminal attractors which guarantee finite time convergence of the states. While, in normal sliding mode, asymptotic stability is promised which leads to the convergence of the states to the origin. But this convergence may only be guaranteed within infinite time. In TSM, a nonlinear term is introduced in the sliding surface design so that the manifold is formulated as an attractor. After the sliding surface is intercepted, the trajectory is attracted within the manifold and converges to the origin following a power rule.

There are some variations of the TSM including: Non-singular TSM,^[2] Fast TSM,^[3]

Terminal sliding mode also has been widely applied to nonlinear process control, for example, rigid robot control etc.. Several open questions still remain on the mathematical treatment of the system's behavior at the origin since it is non-Lipschitz.

Control Scheme

Consider a continuous nonlinear system in canonical form

${\overset {\cdot }{x}}_{1}(t)=x_{2}(t)$ ......

${\overset {\cdot }{x}}_{n-1}(t)=x_{n}(t)$

${\overset {\cdot }{x}}_{n}(t)=a(x)+b(x)u(t)$

where $x(t)\in R^{n}$ is the state vector, $u\in R$ is the control input, $a(x)$ and $b(x)$ are nonlinear functions in $x(t)$ . Then a sequence of terminal sliding surfaces can be designed as follows:

$s_{1}(t)={\overset {\cdot }{s}}_{0}(t)+\alpha _{1}(t)s_{0}^{\gamma _{1}}(t)$

$s_{2}(t)={\overset {\cdot }{s}}_{1}(t)+\alpha _{2}(t)s_{1}^{\gamma _{2}}(t)$ ......

$s_{n-1}(t)={\overset {\cdot }{s}}_{n-2}(t)+\alpha _{n-1}(t)s_{n-2}^{\gamma _{n-1}}(t)$ where $s_{0}(t)=x_{1}(t)$ and $\gamma _{i}={\frac {p_{i}}{q_{i}}},i=1,2,...,n-1$ . $p_{i},q_{i}$ are positive odd numbers and $p_{i}\leq q_{i}$ .

In probability and statistics, the Dirichlet distribution (after Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet), often denoted $, is a family of continuous multivariate probability distributions parameterized by a vector of positive reals. It is a multivariate generalization of the beta distribution, hence its alternative name of multivariate beta distribution (MBD) . Dirichlet distributions are commonly used as prior distributions in Bayesian statistics, and in fact, the Dirichlet distribution is the conjugate prior of the categorical distribution and multinomial distribution.$

In mathematical physics, higher-dimensional gamma matrices generalize to arbitrary dimension the four-dimensional Gamma matrices of Dirac, which are a mainstay of relativistic quantum mechanics. They are utilized in relativistically invariant wave equations for fermions in arbitrary space-time dimensions, notably in string theory and supergravity. The Weyl–Brauer matrices provide an explicit construction of higher-dimensional gamma matrices for Weyl spinors. Gamma matrices also appear in generic settings in Riemannian geometry, particularly when a spin structure can be defined.

In mathematics, Ricci calculus constitutes the rules of index notation and manipulation for tensors and tensor fields on a differentiable manifold, with or without a metric tensor or connection. It is also the modern name for what used to be called the absolute differential calculus, developed by Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro in 1887–1896, and subsequently popularized in a paper written with his pupil Tullio Levi-Civita in 1900. Jan Arnoldus Schouten developed the modern notation and formalism for this mathematical framework, and made contributions to the theory, during its applications to general relativity and differential geometry in the early twentieth century.

Input-to-state stability (ISS) is a stability notion widely used to study stability of nonlinear control systems with external inputs. Roughly speaking, a control system is ISS if it is globally asymptotically stable in the absence of external inputs and if its trajectories are bounded by a function of the size of the input for all sufficiently large times. The importance of ISS is due to the fact that the concept has bridged the gap between input–output and state-space methods, widely used within the control systems community.

In computer science, a suffix automaton is an efficient data structure for representing the substring index of a given string which allows the storage, processing, and retrieval of compressed information about all its substrings. The suffix automaton of a string $is the smallest directed acyclic graph with a dedicated initial vertex and a set of "final" vertices, such that paths from the initial vertex to final vertices represent the suffixes of the string.$

Pentagramma mirificum is a star polygon on a sphere, composed of five great circle arcs, all of whose internal angles are right angles. This shape was described by John Napier in his 1614 book Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio along with rules that link the values of trigonometric functions of five parts of a right spherical triangle. The properties of pentagramma mirificum were studied, among others, by Carl Friedrich Gauss.
