This paper presents a new control approach for steering trajectories of three-dimensional nonlinear chaotic systems towards stable stationary states or time-periodic orbits. The proposed method mainly consists in a sliding mode-based control design that is extended by an explicit consideration of system energy as basis for both controller design and system stabilization. The control objective is then to regulate the energy with respect to a shaped nominal representation implicitly related to system trajectories. In this paper, we establish some theoretical results to introduce the control design approach referred to as Energy based Sliding Mode Control (ESMC for short). Then, some capabilities of the proposed approach are illustrated through examples related to the chaotic circuit of Chua.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
