Higher order sliding modes

Higher Order Sliding Modes* modern HOSM controller and applications; * second-order sliding mode controllers: their properties and applications.The volume begins with the paper ‘Generalized homogeneous quasi-continuous controllers’ by A. Levant and Y. Pavlov.It presents a new class of arbitrary-order homogeneous quasicontinuous sliding mode controllers, containing numerous functional parameters.All the studied controllers are presented in an output-feedback format.A numerical algorithm is developed for setting the parameters of the designed controllers.The paper ‘Higher order sliding mode observer for state estimation and input reconstruction in nonlinear systems’ by L. Fridman, Y. Shtessel, C. Edwards and X.G.
