A New Formulation of Sliding Mode Control and its Applications

This article aims to present a new formulation of the “Linear Control” in sliding mode controller design. It is shown here that the linear control which is frequently augmented with the discontinuous control can be parameterized. The parameterized linear control provides flexibility in the total control law applied to the system and further the flexibility of the linear control is used to obtain the sliding mode control with less chattering magnitude and smaller controller gains.
