The aim of this paper is to develop a new method for sliding mode control of a class of discrete-time nonlinear systems that are feedback linearizable. One advantage of this method is that it allows the use of the recently developed output feedback sliding mode control strategy for linear systems to a class of nonlinear systems. The second advantage of this approach is that it can be used in situations where complete state information is not available or the use of dynamic compensator becomes essential.
