Sliding mode control (SMC) has been studied since the 1950s and widely used in practical
applications due to its insensitivity to matched disturbances. The aim of this paper is to …

Over the last few decennia, power DC/DC converters have been the subject of great interest
due to its extensive increment of utilization in different applications. A thorough review on …

Term “Conventional” sliding mode control (SMC) was introduced in the book Sliding Mode
Control and Observation [1] by the authors, working in the area of high order sliding mode …

Control in the presence of uncertainty is one of the main topics of modern control theory. In
the formulation of any control problem there is always a discrepancy between the actual …

A method to construct a family of strict Lyapunov functions, ie, with negative definite
derivative, for the super-twisting algorithm, without or with perturbations, is provided. This …

The main obstacles for application of Sliding Mode Control are two interconnected
phenomena: chattering and high activity of control action. It is well known that the amplitude …

This article proposes new methodologies for the design of adaptive sliding mode control.
The goal is to obtain a robust sliding mode adaptive-gain control law with respect to …

Second-order sliding modes are used to keep exactly a constraint of the second relative
degree or just to avoid chattering, ie in the cases when the standard (first order) sliding …

This technical note introduces the design of sliding mode control algorithms for nonlinear
systems in the presence of hard inequality constraints on both control and state variables …

This paper presents a practical nonsingular terminal sliding-mode (TSM) tracking control
design for robot manipulators using time-delay estimation (TDE). The proposed control …
