“…Indeed, as concluded above, the system state's movement speed is not zero when it crosses the axis e 1 (namely, the system state is in D 2 ). Therefore, although the state trajectory may cross the axis e 1 (such as e init i , i = 1, 3, 4, 6), the state e will not stay in D 2 In these cases, the states e init i , i = 1, 3, 4, 6 will cross the axis e 1 Then, they will asymptotically converge to the sliding mode s = 0 like the initial states which do not cross axis e 1 (such as, e init i , i = 2, 5). …”
