Variable Structure Systems (VSSs) have been studied extensively for over 60 years and
widely used in practical applications. A particular interest in VSS is the so-called Sliding …

In this paper, dynamical behaviors of the discrete-time sliding-mode-control (DSMC)
uncertain systems are studied. First, a discrete reaching law with a disturbance compensator …

In this paper, a new method for state estimation, referred to as the smooth variable structure
filter (SVSF), is presented. The SVSF method is model based and applies to smooth …

This paper presents a discrete-time variable-structure-based control and a speed estimator
designed for a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). A cascade control scheme is …

This paper develops a new approach in regulation and tracking, combining a disturbance
compensator with a controller, both of which are formulated in the discrete-time domain …

In recent years, the use of electronic throttle valve systems has been very popular in the
automotive industry. However, there exist difficulties in controlling the electronic throttle …

In this paper, robust adaptive sliding mode tracking control for discrete-time multi-input multi-
output systems with unknown parameters and disturbance is considered. The robust …

This paper presents a sliding-mode controller for a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems.
The proposed controller uses a modified switching function that produces a low-chattering …

In this article, a discrete-time sliding mode control law is proposed for nonlinear (possibly
multiinput) systems, in the presence of mixed input-state constraints and additive bounded …

Variable structure control systems are known to provide a high level of robustness to
external disturbances and modeling uncertainties with comparably low computational …
