Reviews

From the book reviews:“This book covers several different topics related to sliding mode control and observation. … The book succeeds in being reasonably self-contained. A reader, such as a graduate student … will find most of the book very accessible. Also, as a collection of recent results and applications, the book is a valuable reference for researchers and engineers in the field of robust control of complex and uncertain nonlinear dynamical systems.” (Elisabetta Punta, Mathematical Reviews, August, 2014)
