» Abstract This chapter gives an insight into the class of tracking problems in nonlinear systems for which the first order derivative of the reference function does not exist. Using classical sliding mode control, only a restricted class of reference functions can be tracked. A solution to this problem by using fractional order operators is proposed. The technique works provided the reference funct...Continue Reading »
