This book offers a fresh perspective on variable-structure systems and discontinuous control systems. It treats both complex control theories, having a focus on higher-order sliding modes, and their practical applications in engineering. It details new algorithms: their analysis, methods and useful properties.

This book demonstrates sliding-mode control’s often pivotal role in ensuring robustness, stability and performance under uncertain conditions. It highlights sliding-mode control’s significance for addressing modern control challenges, showcasing applications in—among other fields—robotics, power systems and automotive systems.

is an exposition of insights from expert authorities in sliding-mode control. Their shared perspectives provide a forward-looking view of the development of variable-structure and sliding-mode control and equip readers, whether academic researchers or practical engineers, with a valuable combination of new and established techniques with detailed examples.
