1 Introduction
Sliding mode control (SMC) has gained much attention dueto its attractive characteristics of finite time convergence androbustness against uncertainties [1ndash3] Sliding mode controlhas been thoroughly studied fromboth practical and theoret-ical point of view for example successfully applied for controlof time delay systems [4 5] control and observation of fuelcell power systems [6ndash11] control and observation of powerconverters [12ndash16] and adaptive control of flexible spacecraft[17 18] Robustness of a control system is essential basedon the reason that various uncertainties exist in practicalsystems These nonlinear systems are with structured andunstructured uncertainties and external disturbances suchas load variation However the price of using sliding modecontrol to achieve robustness to these disturbances is controlchattering problem [19ndash22] chattering is undesired becauseit may cause high frequency dynamics and even instabil-ity Therefore in order to achieve the optimal operationperformance of such uncertain systems suitable model andcontroller development efforts are needed [23ndash26]
There are several ways to avoid chattering problem whenusing sliding mode control The conventional SMC uses a
control law with large control gains yielding the undesiredchattering while the control system is in the sliding mode Toeliminate the chattering the discontinuous control functionis replaced by ldquosaturationrdquo or continuous ldquosigmoidrdquo functionsin [27 28] However such approach constrains the slidingsystemrsquos trajectories not to the sliding surface but to itsvicinity losing the robustness to the disturbances Higherorder sliding mode control techniques are used in [29ndash32]which allow driving the sliding variable and its consecutivederivatives to zero in the presence of the disturbancesHowever the main challenge of high order sliding modecontrollers is the use of high order time derivatives of slidingvariable It is interesting to note that the popular super-twisting algorithm [1] only requires the measurement of thesliding mode variable without its time derivative Recentlyadaptive sliding mode controller has been proposed to tunethe controller gains with respect to disturbances [33 34]Intelligent controllers such as fuzzy neural network [3536] and adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller [37 38]were proposed to reduce the chattering However all theaforementioned literatures address the case based on theassumption that the boundary of the disturbances is knownThis boundary cannot be easily obtained in practical cases

2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering
The overestimating of the disturbance boundary yields tolarger than necessary control gains while designing thesuper-twisting control law [32]
In this paper an adaptive controller gain super-twistingalgorithm (ASTW) is proposed for nonlinear system withunknown input Based on the Lyapunov theory the proposedcontrol law continuously drives the sliding variable and itstime derivative to zero in the presence of bounded unknowninput but without knowing the boundary The stability andthe robustness of the control system are proven and thetracking performance is ensured
2 Problem Formulation
The super-twisting control law (STW) is effective to removethe chattering when the relative degree equals one It gener-ates the continuous control function that drives the slidingvariable and its time derivative to zero in finite time in thepresence of bounded unknown disturbance The main dis-advantage of STW algorithm is that it requires the boundedvalue of [39] (120590 is the sliding variable) Unfortunately theknowledge of is often unavailable The overestimating ofthe will yield to larger than necessary control gains whiledesigning the STW control law In this note an adaptive-gainapproach will be adopted when designing STW control lawwhich does not require the bounded value of The idea ofadaptive-gain approach is to increase the control gain 120572 120573dynamically until the STW controller converges Once the120590 gt 0 then gains will start reducing this gains reductionwill be reversed as soon as the sliding variable 120590 and its timederivative start deviating from the equilibrium point 120590 = = 0
Consider a class of 119899th-order uncertain nonlinear systemwhich is represented in a state-space form as
= 119891 (119909) + 119887 (119909) 119906 + 119889 (1)

Let the desired state vector be 119909119889 the tracking error and
the sliding-surface function are defined as
119890 (119909 119905) = 119909 minus 119909

Assumption 1 The relative degree of system (1) with thesliding variable 120590with respect to 119906 equals one in other wordsthe control function 119906 has to appear explicitly in the first totalderivative
Under Assumption 1 the dynamics of 120590 can be computedas follows
= 119892 (119909) 119906 + 120588 (119909 119905) (4)
where 120588(119909 119905) = 119888119879119891(119909) + 119888119879119889 minus 119888119879119889and 119892(119909) = 119888119879119887(119909) = 0
Assumption 2 The first-order time derivative of the uncer-tain function 120588(119909 119905) isin R is bounded
120588 (119909 119905) le 120575 (5)

With Assumptions 2 and 3 (4) can be written as follows
= 120588 (119909 119905) + 119892
1(119909 119905) 120596 (8)
where 1 minus 120578 le 1198921(119909 119905) = 1 + Δ119892(119909 119905)119892

of Filippov [40]
3 Adaptive-Gain STW Controller Design
The control objective is to drive the sliding variable 120590 andits derivative to zero in finite time without the controlgain overestimation based on Assumptions 2 and 3 satisfiedThe classical SMC can handle with the task to keep anoutput variable 120590 at zero when the relative degree of 120590 isone However the high frequency control switching leads tothe chattering effect which is exhibited by high frequencyvibration of the controlled plant and can be dangerous insome applications The second-order sliding mode (SOSM)controllers including the continuous STW control algorithmare able to remove the chattering effect while preserving themain sliding mode features and improving its accuracy inthe presence of unknown disturbance However it requiresthe knowledge of bounded disturbance Unfortunately theassumption of the disturbance is often unavailable in practicewhich leads to controller gain overestimation
In this note an adaptive-gain approach is used to solvethis problem with STW algorithm STW controller generatesthe continuous control function to remove the chatteringeffect while adaptive-gain approach allows controller gainnonoverestimation
Mathematical Problems in Engineering 3
The STW algorithm can be described by differentialinclusion as follows [1 32]
120596 = minus120582 |120590|
12 sign (120590) + V
V = minus120572 sign (120590) (9)
where the time varying controller gains
120582 = 120582 (120590 119905)
120572 = 120572 (120590 119905)
(10)
are to be defined laterSubstituting (9) into (8) it follows that
= minus120582119892
1(119909 119905) |120590|
12 sign (120590) + 120593
= minus120572119892
1(119909 119905) sign (120590) + 120601 (119909 119905)
(11)
where 120593 = 1198921(119909 119905)V + 120588(119909 119905) and 120601(119909 119905) = 119892
1(119909 119905)V + 120588(119909 119905)
The term 119892
1(119909 119905)V is assumed to be bounded with some
unknown constant 1205751 that is

In this paper the gains 120582(120590 119905) and 120572(120590 119905) are formulatedas
120582 (120590 119905) = 120582

(13)
with 1205820 1205720arbitrary positive constants and a positive time
varying scalar 119897(119905) The dynamic law of the varying function119897(119905) is given by
119897 (119905)
119896 if |120590| = 0
0 otherwise(14)
where 119896 gt 0 is a positive constantNow the control objective is reduced to driving 120590 and its
derivative by (13) and (14) to zero in finite time with thecondition of bounded perturbations in (12) Thus the designof adaptive STW controller is formulated in the followingtheorem
Theorem 4 Consider system (11) suppose that (12) holdsThen for any initial conditions 119909(0) 120590(0) the adaptive-gainSTW control laws (13) (14) drive the sliding variable 120590 and itsderivative to zero in finite time
Proof A new state vector is introduced in order to presentsystem (11) in a more convenient form for Lyapunov analysis

where the adaptive-gain 120582(120590 119905) and 120572(120590 119905) dynamics follow(29) and the values of the parameters of the adaptive-gain lawhave been taken as 120591 = 0005 120582

0= 8 and 119896 = 5
These parameters are tuned to get sufficiently accurate andfast convergence Finally the adaptive-gain dynamic law (29)becomes

Figures 1ndash3 show the state performance of system (3) inthe presence of disturbance 119889(119905) The time response of thesliding surface function120590 is shown in Figure 4 It can be easilyfound that 120590 converges to zero in finite time From Figure 5we can see that the control input is smooth which is suitablefor real applications Figure 6 shows that the adaptive law of(34) is effective in the presence of external disturbance 119889(t)
Remark 6 In order to avoid high frequency control activitythe boundary layer technique is employed during the simula-tionThus the saturation function sat(120590Φ) is used to replacethe function sign(120590Φ) whereΦ is the boundary layer widththat is

5 Conclusions
Adaptive second-order slidingmode control design is studiedfor a class of nonlinear systems with unknown inputs In realapplications the upper boundary of uncertainty is difficultto obtain which is required for calculating control gains ofsuper-twisting sliding mode control To solve this problem asimple control designmethod is proposed based onLyapunovfunction The idea is very simple the gains are increasedaccording to a dynamic law until the sliding mode is attained

2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering
The overestimating of the disturbance boundary yields tolarger than necessary control gains while designing thesuper-twisting control law [32]
In this paper an adaptive controller gain super-twistingalgorithm (ASTW) is proposed for nonlinear system withunknown input Based on the Lyapunov theory the proposedcontrol law continuously drives the sliding variable and itstime derivative to zero in the presence of bounded unknowninput but without knowing the boundary The stability andthe robustness of the control system are proven and thetracking performance is ensured
2 Problem Formulation
The super-twisting control law (STW) is effective to removethe chattering when the relative degree equals one It gener-ates the continuous control function that drives the slidingvariable and its time derivative to zero in finite time in thepresence of bounded unknown disturbance The main dis-advantage of STW algorithm is that it requires the boundedvalue of [39] (120590 is the sliding variable) Unfortunately theknowledge of is often unavailable The overestimating ofthe will yield to larger than necessary control gains whiledesigning the STW control law In this note an adaptive-gainapproach will be adopted when designing STW control lawwhich does not require the bounded value of The idea ofadaptive-gain approach is to increase the control gain 120572 120573dynamically until the STW controller converges Once the120590 gt 0 then gains will start reducing this gains reductionwill be reversed as soon as the sliding variable 120590 and its timederivative start deviating from the equilibrium point 120590 = = 0
Consider a class of 119899th-order uncertain nonlinear systemwhich is represented in a state-space form as

Let the desired state vector be 119909119889 the tracking error and

3 Adaptive-Gain STW Controller Design
The control objective is to drive the sliding variable 120590 andits derivative to zero in finite time without the controlgain overestimation based on Assumptions 2 and 3 satisfiedThe classical SMC can handle with the task to keep anoutput variable 120590 at zero when the relative degree of 120590 isone However the high frequency control switching leads tothe chattering effect which is exhibited by high frequencyvibration of the controlled plant and can be dangerous insome applications The second-order sliding mode (SOSM)controllers including the continuous STW control algorithmare able to remove the chattering effect while preserving themain sliding mode features and improving its accuracy inthe presence of unknown disturbance However it requiresthe knowledge of bounded disturbance Unfortunately theassumption of the disturbance is often unavailable in practicewhich leads to controller gain overestimation
In this note an adaptive-gain approach is used to solvethis problem with STW algorithm STW controller generatesthe continuous control function to remove the chatteringeffect while adaptive-gain approach allows controller gainnonoverestimation
Mathematical Problems in Engineering 3
The STW algorithm can be described by differentialinclusion as follows [1 32]
120596 = minus120582 |120590|
12 sign (120590) + V
V = minus120572 sign (120590) (9)
where the time varying controller gains
120582 = 120582 (120590 119905)
120572 = 120572 (120590 119905)
(10)
are to be defined laterSubstituting (9) into (8) it follows that

1(119909 119905) |120590|
12 sign (120590) + 120593

1(119909 119905) sign (120590) + 120601 (119909 119905)
(11)
where 120593 = 1198921(119909 119905)V + 120588(119909 119905) and 120601(119909 119905) = 119892
1(119909 119905)V + 120588(119909 119905)
The term 119892
1(119909 119905)V is assumed to be bounded with some
unknown constant 1205751 that is

In this paper the gains 120582(120590 119905) and 120572(120590 119905) are formulatedas

(13)
with 1205820 1205720arbitrary positive constants and a positive time
varying scalar 119897(119905) The dynamic law of the varying function119897(119905) is given by
119897 (119905)
119896 if |120590| = 0
0 otherwise(14)
where 119896 gt 0 is a positive constantNow the control objective is reduced to driving 120590 and its
derivative by (13) and (14) to zero in finite time with thecondition of bounded perturbations in (12) Thus the designof adaptive STW controller is formulated in the followingtheorem
Theorem 4 Consider system (11) suppose that (12) holdsThen for any initial conditions 119909(0) 120590(0) the adaptive-gainSTW control laws (13) (14) drive the sliding variable 120590 and itsderivative to zero in finite time

V = minus120572 sign (120590) (9)
where the time varying controller gains
120582 = 120582 (120590 119905)
120572 = 120572 (120590 119905)

1(119909 119905) sign (120590) + 120601 (119909 119905)
(11)
where 120593 = 1198921(119909 119905)V + 120588(119909 119905) and 120601(119909 119905) = 119892
1(119909 119905)V + 120588(119909 119905)
The term 119892

In this paper the gains 120582(120590 119905) and 120572(120590 119905) are formulatedas

(13)
with 1205820 1205720arbitrary positive constants and a positive time
varying scalar 119897(119905) The dynamic law of the varying function119897(119905) is given by
119897 (119905)
119896 if |120590| = 0
0 otherwise(14)
where 119896 gt 0 is a positive constantNow the control objective is reduced to driving 120590 and its
derivative by (13) and (14) to zero in finite time with thecondition of bounded perturbations in (12) Thus the designof adaptive STW controller is formulated in the followingtheorem
Theorem 4 Consider system (11) suppose that (12) holdsThen for any initial conditions 119909(0) 120590(0) the adaptive-gainSTW control laws (13) (14) drive the sliding variable 120590 and itsderivative to zero in finite time

(30)
where 1198871(119905) = [1+03 sin(119905)] 119887
2(119905) = [15+02 cos(119905)] 119887
3(119905) =
[1 + 04 sin(119905)] and 119889(119905) = 005 sin(01119905) is considered as anexternal disturbance
The desired state trajectory is supposed to be 119909119879119889=
[sin(119905) cos(119905) minus sin(119905)] The sliding-surface function (2) ischosen and 119888119879 = [10 5 1] The initial state vector is 119909(119905
0) =
[0 0 minus035]
119879 The initial value of the sliding variable is takenas 120590(0) = minus535
According to (2) the sliding surface is given as120590 = 119888

The time derivative of 120590 is calculated as = 119892
1(119909 119905) 119906 + 120588 (119909 119905) (32)
where 1198921(119909 119905) = 119888

The adaptive-gain STW control laws (9) (10) (11) and(13) are designed as

(33)
where the adaptive-gain 120582(120590 119905) and 120572(120590 119905) dynamics follow(29) and the values of the parameters of the adaptive-gain lawhave been taken as 120591 = 0005 120582
0= 25 120572
0= 8 and 119896 = 5
These parameters are tuned to get sufficiently accurate andfast convergence Finally the adaptive-gain dynamic law (29)becomes
119897 (119905) =
5 if |120590| ge 0005
0 else(34)
Figures 1ndash3 show the state performance of system (3) inthe presence of disturbance 119889(119905) The time response of thesliding surface function120590 is shown in Figure 4 It can be easilyfound that 120590 converges to zero in finite time From Figure 5we can see that the control input is smooth which is suitablefor real applications Figure 6 shows that the adaptive law of(34) is effective in the presence of external disturbance 119889(t)
Remark 6 In order to avoid high frequency control activitythe boundary layer technique is employed during the simula-tionThus the saturation function sat(120590Φ) is used to replacethe function sign(120590Φ) whereΦ is the boundary layer widththat is

5 Conclusions
Adaptive second-order slidingmode control design is studiedfor a class of nonlinear systems with unknown inputs In realapplications the upper boundary of uncertainty is difficultto obtain which is required for calculating control gains ofsuper-twisting sliding mode control To solve this problem asimple control designmethod is proposed based onLyapunovfunction The idea is very simple the gains are increasedaccording to a dynamic law until the sliding mode is attained

119881 since 119897(119905) is a monotonic nondecreasingfunction ( 119897(119905) ge 0) In this point we can conclude that afterthe time 119905 = 119905

Substituting (25) into (23) we have

Remark 5 In view of practical implementation the condition|120590| = 0 in (14) cannot be satisfied due to measurement noiseand numerical approximations The condition |120590| = 0 needsto be modified by dead-zone technique [41 42] such that thedynamic law (14) is practically implementable

+ 119889 (119905)
(30)
where 1198871(119905) = [1+03 sin(119905)] 119887
2(119905) = [15+02 cos(119905)] 119887
3(119905) =
[1 + 04 sin(119905)] and 119889(119905) = 005 sin(01119905) is considered as anexternal disturbance
The desired state trajectory is supposed to be 119909119879119889=
[sin(119905) cos(119905) minus sin(119905)] The sliding-surface function (2) ischosen and 119888119879 = [10 5 1] The initial state vector is 119909(119905
0) =
[0 0 minus035]
119879 The initial value of the sliding variable is takenas 120590(0) = minus535
According to (2) the sliding surface is given as120590 = 119888
1(119909

1119889) + 119888

3(119909

3119889) (31)
The time derivative of 120590 is calculated as = 119892
1(119909 119905) 119906 + 120588 (119909 119905) (32)
where 1198921(119909 119905) = 119888
3(3 + cos 119905) and 120588(119909 119905) = minus119888119879119909

The adaptive-gain STW control laws (9) (10) (11) and(13) are designed as
= minus120582 (120590 119905) 119892
1(119909 119905) |120590|
12 sign (120590) + 120593
= minus120572 (120590 119905) 119892
1(119909 119905) sign (120590) + 120601 (119909 119905)
(33)
where the adaptive-gain 120582(120590 119905) and 120572(120590 119905) dynamics follow(29) and the values of the parameters of the adaptive-gain lawhave been taken as 120591 = 0005 120582
0= 25 120572
0= 8 and 119896 = 5
These parameters are tuned to get sufficiently accurate andfast convergence Finally the adaptive-gain dynamic law (29)becomes
119897 (119905) =
5 if |120590| ge 0005
0 else(34)
Figures 1ndash3 show the state performance of system (3) inthe presence of disturbance 119889(119905) The time response of thesliding surface function120590 is shown in Figure 4 It can be easilyfound that 120590 converges to zero in finite time From Figure 5we can see that the control input is smooth which is suitablefor real applications Figure 6 shows that the adaptive law of(34) is effective in the presence of external disturbance 119889(t)
Remark 6 In order to avoid high frequency control activitythe boundary layer technique is employed during the simula-tionThus the saturation function sat(120590Φ) is used to replacethe function sign(120590Φ) whereΦ is the boundary layer widththat is
sat( 120590Φ
