Abstract
This paper investigates the control of a class of nonlinear systems whose relative degrees are greater than one. The relative degree of a system can be defined as the number of times the system output must be differentiated in order to generate an explicit relationship between the output, and the system input. The control approach to be implemented is a robust version of Feedback Linearization known as Sliding Control and it is applied to SISO systems here. The standard approach to controlling systems with relative degree (r) greater than one is to use a sliding controller with an (r-1)th order sliding surface. An alternative approach, presented here, is to separate the sliding controller into (r-1) sliding surfaces and control each one individually. The entire closed loop system is then analyzed for stability.
