This book systematizes recent research work on variable-structure control. It is self-contained, presenting necessary mathematical preliminaries so that the theoretical developments can be easily unde
Expanding on talks delivered at the 12th IEEE International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (2012), this book covers sliding modes for decentralized system representations, control of time-dela
Variable Structure Systems, or sliding mode control systems, are nonlinear automatic control systems whose structures are deliberately allowed to change, so that robust performance is obtained. It al
