Sliding Modes in Control and Optimization - Communications and Control Engineering Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1992 edition

The purpose of this book is to describe a new approach for the design of high-efficiency control of multi-dimensional systems operating under uncertainty conditions. It covers mathematical, control and technological aspects of discontinuous control systems. The generation of sliding modes is the basic design idea resulting in decomposition of system motion and invariancy to uncertainties in plant behaviour. Implementation of discontinuous control is natural for widely used electronic power converters with key operation.
