A simple methodology for designing sliding mode controllers is proposed in
this paper for a class of linear multi-input discrete-time systems with mat
ching perturbations. If the functions of perturbations are bounded, the pro
posed controllers cannot only satisfy the discrete sliding condition, but a
lso drive the state trajectories toward a small bounded region, whose bound
is dependent on the magnitude of perturbations. In order to stabilize the
closed-loop system, the determination of designed parameter of controllers
is discussed. Neither chattering phenomenon will occur nor the knowledge of
upper bound of perturbations is required. Numerical example is also given
for demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed control scheme. (C) 2000
