Modified Smith predictor-based robust tracking control design for fractional-order singular semi-Markovian jump systems

Abstract

This paper focuses on addressing the robust tracking control problem as well as the compensation of delay and external disturbances for fractional-order singular semi-Markovian jump systems. Moreover, a multi-periodic modified repetitive control scheme is developed to guarantee the exact tracking performance of the considered system. Subsequently, by implementing the Majhi-Atherton modified Smith predictor approach, input delays and disturbances occurring in the addressed system are compensated. Precisely, the incorporation of disturbance estimator with the conventional Smith predictor frame can accurately estimate and attenuate the external disturbances. Further, the linear matrix inequality-based conditions for ascertaining the required results are procured with the aid of Lyapunov stability theory. Following this, by solving the acquired criteria, the precise framework of the gain matrices can be reckoned. Finally, the effectiveness and supremacy of the suggested control approach are assessed by using the outcomes of simulations obtained from two numerical examples.
