Emerging Trends in Sliding Mode Control

This book compiles recent developments on sliding mode control theory and its applications. Each chapter presented in the book proposes new dimension in the sliding mode control theory such as higher order sliding mode control, event triggered sliding mode control, networked control, higher order discrete-time sliding mode control and sliding mode control for multi-agent systems. Special emphasis has been given to practical solutions to design involving new types of sliding mode control. This book is a reference guide for graduate students and researchers working in the domain for designing sliding mode controllers. The book is also useful to professional engineers working in the field to design robust controllers for various applications.
