“…The sliding mode is well known robust control strategy which has many advantages such as invariance to matched parametric uncertainties/disturbance, simpler design technique, and system order-reduction (Alsmadi, Utkin, Haj-ahmed, & Xu, 2018;Bandyopadhyay & Janardhanan, 2005;Behera & Bandyopadhyay, 2016;Drakunov & Utkin, 1992;Draženović, 1969;Sharma & Janardhanan, 2017a;Utkin, 1977;Utkin & Poznyak, 2013). The recent developments and application of microcontrollers in the control circuitry has made the utilisation of discrete-time system representation more justifiable for controller design than continuous-time representation (Chakrabarty & Bandyopadhyay, 2016;Corradini, Cristofaro, & Orlando, 2014;Huber et al, 2016;Lincoln & Veres, 2010;Sharma & Janardhanan, 2017b;Yu, Wang, & Li, 2012). Furthermore, the application of sliding mode technology to control discrete-time systems like inventory management, flow control for connection-oriented communication networks, etc.…”
