“…In addition, almost all the control algorithms need to be implemented by computers, so it is more meaningful to study the control of discrete-time nonlinear systems. There are many control methods for discrete-time nonlinear systems, such as adaptive control (Mohammadpour and Tavasoli, 2019), predictive control (Hu and Ding, 2019), and sliding mode control (Ghabi and Dhouibi, 2018; Raja et al, 2018; Tsai et al, 2018; Xiong et al, 2019), to name just a few. Among them, discrete-time sliding mode control (DSMC) has been widely applied and studied owing to its strong robustness, quick response and simple design.…”
