Abstract

In this paper we describe a set of symbolic computing tools for variable structure control system design. The software implements all aspects of a design approach for input-output linearizable systems. It is part of a comprehensive symbolic computing environment for nonlinear and adaptive control system design that has been under continuous development for several years. Current work is focused on plants with nondifferentiable nonlinearities. Some preliminary results are reported.
