This method is based on the discrete-time sliding mode control and ensures stability, robustness and output tracking against the modelling uncertainties even for large sampling periods. In this way, two strategies are used: firstly, the well-known Lyapunov theory is used to achieve a set of linear matrix inequalities, which is then utilized to design the sliding surface; secondly, a control input is designed to reach the quasi-sliding mode.
