title: Second-order sliding mode controllers for nonlinear singular perturbation systems.
abstract: Nonlinear systems are decomposed into slow and fast response subsystems using the singular perturbation theory and second-order sliding mode controllers are designed for each of the subsystems. The combined control action forms a suboptimal controller that can eliminate chattering in the continuous control output. Simulated examples are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
