In this paper, a new integral sliding mode control
scheme is proposed for a class of uncertain switched
nonlinear systems. First, a nonlinear integral sliding
surface is constructed such that the switched system
under the sliding mode is exponentially stable for
switching laws with an average dwell time switching
property. Then, variable structure controllers are
designed to guarantee the existence of the sliding mode
from the initial time. Robustness of the closed-loop
system in the whole state space is obtained. Finally,
a numerical example is given to illustrate the effective-
ness of the proposed design method.

1. Introduction
Recently, the study of switched systems has been
receiving growing attention mainly because many
real-world systems, for example, automotive engine
control systems [1], disc drives [23], some robot con-
trol systems [9], and the cart-pendulum system [27] can
be modeled as switched systems. Several methods have

been proposed for study of switched systems [8, 13, 19,
26]. A common Lyapunov function for all subsystems
guarantees asymptotic stability under arbitrary
switching laws [4, 12, 15]. The single Lyapunov func-
tion is developed by designing a state-partition-based
feedback switching law to stabilize a class of switched
linear systems with stable convex combinations [10,
18, 22]. The multiple Lyapunov functions method
proposed in [16] is considered as an analysis tool in
[2, 24]. It is shown in [14] that based on the dwell time
method a switched linear system is exponentially
stable if the individual subsystems are exponentially
stable. This result is later extended to switching laws
with average dwell time [7]. The average dwell time
method is considered as one of the most effective
methods in the study of switched systems [12]. It can
also be applied to the study of switched systems
composed of both stable and unstable subsystems [25].
However, the average dwell time method has rarely
been applied to study switched systems with uncer-
tainties. In particular, no relevant results for uncertain
switched nonlinear systems have been reported so far.
On the other hand, sliding mode control is an
effective robust control approach [5, 11, 20]. Typic-
ally, the complete response of the sliding mode control
comprises two phases: reaching phase and sliding
phase. We know that in the reaching phase, systems

are sensitive to uncertainties and perturbations, which
may deteriorate system performance. In order to
handle this problem, a new sliding mode is proposed,
called integral sliding mode which does not have
reaching phase [21]. Having this feature, integral
sliding mode control has been widely applied to
various systems [3, 6]. Integral sliding mode control is
of course expected to be effective for uncertain swit-
ched systems. However, so far there have been no
results for integral sliding mode control of uncertain
switched nonlinear systems.
In this paper, the robust integral sliding mode
control problem is studied for a class of uncertain
switched nonlinear systems. The switched system is
composed of two cascade parts: a linear part with
mismatched uncertainties and a nonlinear part with
matched uncertainties. In order to achieve exponential
stability, we present a two-step design strategy. First,
we design an integral sliding surface such that the
sliding mode is exponentially stabilizable via switch-
ing. Then, we design variable structure controllers to
guarantee that the trajectory of the system remains on
the sliding surface from the initial time. Robustness of
the closed-loop system in the whole state space is
obtained.
Throughout this paper, kk denotes the Euclidean
norm for a vector or the matrix-induced norm for a
matrix. max ðPÞ and min ðPÞ denote the maximum and
minimum eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix P,
respectively.

respectively. A1i are system parameter uncertainties
that can be represented as
A1i ¼ Ei i ðtÞFi ; i 2 ;
where Ei ; Fi are constant matrices with appropriate
dimensions and i ðtÞ are unknown matrices and sat-
isfy Ti ðtÞi ðtÞ  I.
Lemma 1 [17]: Given real matrices R1 and R2 with
appropriate dimensions and an unknown matrix ðtÞ

We will focus on switching signals that satisfy certain
average dwell time requirement.

let N ð; tÞ denote the number of discontinuities of  on
an interval ð; tÞ. If there exist N0 0; a > 0 such that

holds, then the positive constant a is referred to as
average dwell time. As commonly used in the literature,
for convenience, we choose N0 ¼ 0 in this paper.
The control object is for the uncertain switched non-
linear system (1), determine switching laws with an
average dwell time property, a proper nonlinear integral
sliding surface and variable structure controllers such
that the closed-loop system is globally exponentially
stable.
We introduce the following assumption.

asymptotically stabilizable via a nominal controller

6. Conclusions
We have studied the robust integral sliding mode
control problem for a class of uncertain switched
cascade nonlinear systems. The nonlinear integral
sliding surface has been designed for the switched
system. Based on the average dwell time method, we
have given the conditions for the existence of the
sliding surface and proved exponential stability of the
sliding mode. The variable structure controllers have
been designed such that the state of the system
remains on the integral sliding surface from the initial
time. Finally, we have showed the effectiveness of the
proposed method by using a numerical example.
