Sliding Mode Control for A Class of Nonlinear Discrete-Time Networked Systems with Multiple Stochastic Communica- tion Delays

In the past few decades, the sliding mode control (also known as variable structure control) problem has been extensively studied and widely applied, because of its advantage of strong robustness against model uncertainties, parameter variations and external disturbances. In recent years, since most control strategies are implemented in a discrete-time setting (e.g., networked control systems), the sliding mode control (SMC) problem for discrete-time systems has gained considerable research interest.
