Swarms, comprised of agents with first-order dynamics, that can be described by fully-connected and connected graphs with time-invariant topologies are considered. For consensus, the agents' inputs are designed to enforce sliding mode on surfaces that depend on the graph Laplacian matrix. The property of sliding mode occurring within a finite time interval, which can be varied, is lent to the swarm and it is this facet that distinguishes the proposed algorithm. As will be shown, applying this algorithm results the swarm achieving a constant consensus value equal to the average of the largest and smallest initial states of the agents. Owing to this result, by introducing a virtual agent with a pre-calculated initial condition, the algorithm allows for the tuning of the consensus value.","PeriodicalId":407705,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134620565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High Order Sliding Mode Controllers are well suited to perform a closed loop control due to is a non linear control, robust with respect to parameter uncertainties, and model unaccounted dynamics. These features represents an advance to other works in this field, due to the system is non linear, variable in the time, and the parameter identification is expensive and invasive to the patient. The improving of the model of glucose-insulin regulatory system, considering additional dynamics, increases, arbitrarily, the model order. The theorem that ensures the robustness of HOSMC with respect to unaccounted dynamics is given. This theorem justify the implementation of a controller designed for a reduced model will be able to handle the dynamics of a extended model.

In this paper, a second order sliding mode observer based on the supertwisting algorithm is studied, tacking into account that the output only can be measure in specific periods of the time, to do this, a zero order hold is proposed to sampling the output. The continuous observer is analized in terms of Lyapunov stability. It have been proposed a strong Lyapunov function to show finite-time convergence into a boundary layer that depends on the sampled period.
