Abstract
This paper presents the design of an extremum seeking controller based on sliding modes and cyclic search for real-time optimization of non-linear multivariable dynamic systems. These systems have arbitrary relative degree, compensated by the technique of time-scaling. The resulting approach guarantees global convergence of the system output to a small neighborhood of the optimum point. To corroborate with the theoretical results, numerical simulations are presented considering a system with two inputs and one output, which rapidly converges to the optimal parameters of the objective function.
