Energy Efficient Trajectory Design For The Underwater Vehicle With Bounded Inputs Using The Global Optimal Sliding-Mode Control, Mai The Vu, Hyeung-Sik Choi, Jin-Il Kang, Dae-Hyung Ji, Hyun Joong

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

In this paper, we propose a novel global sliding mode controller (SMC) for an uncertain linear time-varying second order system. The proposed controller was implemented on the underwater vehicle (UV) with uncertainty of bounded parameters and disturbances within limited control input. By applying the proposed controller to the second-order UV system, the arrival time at the reference position and the maximum allowable acceleration are expressed in a closed-form equation if ranges of parametric uncertainties and reference inputs are specified. The closed-form equation can be utilized in designing the capacity of vehicle systems with the condition of the minimum arrival time …

This paper investigates the global delay-dependent robust stability in the mean square for uncertain stochastic neural networks with time-varying delay. The activation functions are assumed to be globally Lipschitz continuous. Based on a linear matrix inequality approach, globally delay-dependent robust stability criterion is derived by introducing some relaxation matrices which, when chosen properly, lead to a less conservative result. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.
