A SLIDING MODE CONTROL APPROACH TO PREDICTIVE REGULATION

In this article, a sliding mode feedback control scheme of dynamic nat ure is proposed as an efficient alternative to deal robustly with the intrinsic tracking problem associated with every Model Based Predictiv e Control strategy. The results, which are fundamentally based on syst em inversion, apply to nonlinear single-input single-output perturbed systems for which the tracking of a prespecified desirable output refe rence signal is required. The scheme is shown to handle efficiently la rge modeling errors and unmatched perturbation input.
