Sliding Mode Control Design for a Class of SISO Systems with Uncertain Sliding Surface.

The problem of designing a sliding mode controller with uncertain sliding surface for a class of uncertain single-input-singleoutput systems is studied. The design case is handled by using the invariant transformation first in order to separate the sliding mode and the reaching mode of the sliding mode control system. It is shown that the sliding mode design needs not to consider the uncertainties of the sliding surface, which can be handled in the reaching phase design. The results generalize the robust design of the reaching phase such that one specific reaching phase design may agree with several sliding surfaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
