“…Conversely, SMC (Ahmad, & Zhu, 2015;Utikin, 1992), because of its various attractive features such as quick response, good transient performance, particularly, the valuable invariance against matched uncertainties, has been well known as an effective robust control strategy and also has found to be widely applied to various complex systems (Basin, Ferreira, & Fridman, 2007;Liu, & Gao, 2016;Wu, & Lam, 2008;Zhao, & Zhu, 2014) as well in many technical problems (Zhao, & Jia, 2015). As for the neutral systems, some excellent works have been reported.…”
