Abstract
An important consideration in control issues is control of nonlinear systems. Sliding control is among those nonlinear controllers that can control the system desirably in the presence of unstructured uncertainties of carelessness in specifying parameters of the system. In sliding control, also called Variable Structure Control, the main objectives of the controller
are achieved by introducing a sliding surface. One of the fundamental problems which may occur in sliding control is the chattering phenomenon on unwanted oscillation around the sliding surface. Different solutions are introduced to eliminate chattering. One of the commonest solutions is using a constant boundary layer round the sliding surface. In this paper, efforts are made to reduce chattering and to increase stability of the system by varying the sliding controller with a constant boundary layer. Finally, the mathematical model of a pendulum/cart in the presence of uncertainty is developed and the result of the simulation of the introduced controllers are compared.

Abstract
In this paper, a robust control law is proposed, based on Lyapunov’s theory and sliding mode control theory, in
order to track the angle of attack in nonlinear longitudinal dynamics of a missile. It is assumed that there are unmatched
uncertainties in the nonlinear systems. In the proposed algorithm, the controller gains are optimized by Particle Swarm
Optimization (PSO) algorithm. For this purpose, a cost function is extracted from the output tracking error. Simulation results
show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller in
the presence of unmatched uncertainties.
