Abstract

The paper shows how to compute a diffeomorphic state space transformation in order to put the initial mutivariable nonlinear model into an appropriate regular form. This form is an extension of the one proposed by Lukyanov and Utkin [9], and constitutes a guidance for a “natural” choice of the sliding surface. Then stabilization is achieved via a sliding mode strategy. In order to overcome the chattering phenomenon, a new nonlinear gain is introduced.
