Hi all,

I would appreciate clarification on the following related questions about super twisting control algorithm:

1. I understand ideal or smooth SMC (e.g., saturation function approximation) are applicable only for matched disturbances. How about super twisting SMC? Can it handle unmatched disturbances by it's very design, or needs to be augmented with backstepping to do so? A good resource or link on this is also appreciated.

2. Clear cut differences between smooth SMC and standard super twisting algorithm. In my current understanding, two aspects are of concern here: a). how smooth is the robust control input. b). how precise can we get our performance (i.e., ultimate boundedness) close to ideal SMC. Am I correct?

3. A good place to learn and implement super twisting control algorithm on a simple system.

Thank you.
