Decentralized model following variable structure control for perturbed large-scale systems with time-delay interconnections

The problem of decentralized model following variable structure control for a class of perturbed large-scale systems with time-delay interconnections is investigated in this paper. Based on the variable structure control technique, we develop a control strategy for solving the robust tracking problems. The proposed control law will drive the system´s dynamics into a chosen sliding manifold, then exhibit the desired behavior. Furthermore, this control strategy can guarantee globally asymptotic stability for the composite system. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the proposed strategy
