Abstract
It is well known that a problem formulation containing only matched uncertainty can be forced to attain a sliding mode and exhibit the precise nominal dynamic which is defined by the choice of switching surface. This paper has formulated a nonlinear control strategy which will prescribe bounded motion about an ideal sliding mode dynamic for an uncertainty set including both matched and unmatched uncertainty which can be readily applied to engineering problems. A tracking requirement has been successfully incorporated into the methodology. The results have been illustrated by considering the design of a temperature controller for an industrial furnace.
