— In this paper, our recent work on robust model-based fault diagnosis (FD) for several satellite control systems using learning and sliding mode approaches are summarized. Firstly, a variety of nonlinear mathematical models for these satellite control systems are described and analyzed for the purpose of fault diagnosis. These satellite control systems are classified into two classes of nonlin...

____________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Diabetes is a serious disease during which the body's production and use of insulin is impaired, causing glucose concentration level to increase in the bloodstream. The blood glucose dynamics is described using the Bergman minimal model. Higher order sliding mode control techniques, including the pres...

The problem of ordering chaos by second-order sliding-mode control is addressed. The proposed approach offers an effective, yet simple, solution tackling both the uncertainties affecting the chaotic dynamics and the measurement noise corrupting the feedback signals. The procedure is illustrated making reference to Chua's circuit and the “suboptimal” second-order sliding-mode control algorithm. ...
