“…The fuzzy sliding rules employed, which satisfy the condition of (8), can be stated as follows (Cheu & Hsu, 1994): Rule 1 states that if the switching variable S is far from the switching surface, i.e., S is P, and S has a large variation and is leaving the switching surface, i.e., DS is P, then a large control force i qs , i.e., i qs is PL, is required to reduce the quantity of S and DS. Rule 9 resembles rule 1 in that S is N, DS is N, and i qs is NL.…”
