Finite-Time Formation Control of Under-Actuated Ships Using Nonlinear Sliding Mode Control
Abstract
A novel nonlinear sliding mode control approach dealing with the formation control of under-actuated ships is presented in this paper. To avoid the singularity problem, state space of the system is partitioned into two regions, with one region bounded for terminal sliding mode control and its complement singular for that. And a linear auxiliary sliding mode controller is designed for system trajectories starting from the complement region. With the application of nonlinear sliding mode control approach and finite-time stability theory, a distributed controller is designed for individual under-actuated ship to achieve the given formation pattern within a finite time. Finally, two simulation examples are provided to verify the effectiveness and performance of the proposed approach.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
