This paper presents an output feedback based discrete-time sliding mode control strategy using the concept of a PdRd sliding sector. The resulting control is based on the system output and immediate past control input and is independent of the system states. It ensures that the norm of the system states decreases monotonically and continue to do so even with a zero input inside the designed sliding sector. Copyright © 2004 IFAC.
