On the Global Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems via Switching Manifolds

Authors: STEPHEN P. BANKS, METİN U. SALAMCI, M. KEMAL ÖZGÖREN

Abstract: The global stabilization of nonlinear systems is investigated by using switching surfaces. The nonlinear system is forced to a lower order switching manifold, which is designed to be stable by construction. Thus, the stability of the reduced-order system is guaranteed and parameter selection for the switching surface is avoided. The method is extended to a class of uncertain nonlinear systems and exemplified with some fictitious dynamic models.
