Discrete sliding mode control of systems with unmatched uncertainty using multirate output feedback

Systems with uncertainties and disturbances are common in practice. In some cases, these disturbances are unmatched. Moreover, in most cases the entire state information is also not available for control purpose. This note proposes a control algorithm for achieving quasi-sliding mode in discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with bounded unmatched uncertainties. A multirate output feedback based strategy is used for this purpose. The proposed algorithm is illustrated through an example.
