A CASCADE STRUCTURE FOR ROBUST-CONTROL DESIGN

In the context of robust control theory and applications, the well-kno wn variable structure approach and the so-called binary control approa ch offer both interesting properties and disadvantages. In this note, the idea of combining the two techniques in order to define a cascade structure exploiting the desirable features of both approaches is disc ussed, and its natural applicability to the control of a nonlinear ele ctrical actuator is shown by a simulation case.
