Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication Principles

After careful consideration by a duly constituted committee, an author of this article, Hamid Reza Karimi, was found to have acted in violation of the IEEE Principles of Ethical Publishing by artificially inflating the number of citations to this article.
This paper presents a new sliding mode control (SMC) design methodology for fuzzy singularly perturbed systems (SPSs) subject to matched/unmatched uncertainties. To fully accommodate the model characteristics of the systems, a novel integral-type fuzzy switching surface function is put forward, which contains singular perturbation matrix and state-dependent input matrix simultaneously. Its corresponding sliding mode dynamics is a transformed fuzzy SPSs such that the matched uncertainty/perturbation is completely compensated without amplifying the unmatched one. By adopting a ε-dependent Lyapunov function, sufficient conditions are presented to guarantee the asymptotic stability of sliding mode dynamics, and a simple search algorithm is provided to find the stability bound. Then, a fuzzy SMC law is synthesized to ensure the reaching condition despite matched/unmatched uncertainties. A modified adaptive fuzzy SMC law is further constructed for adapting the unknown upper bound of the matched uncertainty. The applicability and superiority of obtained fuzzy SMC methodology are verified by a controller design for an electric circuit system.
