Nonlinear system controlled using novel adaptive fixed-time SMC

Abstract

<abstract><p>This work introduces a novel adaptive fixed-time control strategy for nonlinear systems subject to external disturbances. The focus pertains to the introduction of the fixed-time terminal sliding mode control (FxSMC) technique. The proposed scheme exhibits rapid convergence, chatter-free and smooth control inputs, and stability within a fixed time. The utilization of an adaptive methodology in combination with the FxSMC yields the proposed strategy. This approach is employed to address the dynamic system in the presence of external disturbances. The results obtained from the Lyapunov analysis will provide insights into the stability of the closed-loop system in a fixed time. In the end, the simulation results are presented in order to assess and demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology.</p></abstract>
