Multiple issues wikify March 2012 orphan April 2010 unreferenced March 2010 In 1996, V. Utkin and J. Shi proposed an improved sliding control method named integral sliding mode control ISMC . In contrast with conventional sliding mode control , the system motion under integral sliding mode has a dimension equal to that of the state space. In ISMC, the system trajectory always starts from the sliding surface. Accordingly, the reaching phase is eliminated and robustness in the whole state space is promised. Control Scheme For a system math overset cdot x f x B x u h x math , an integral sliding surface can be designed as math sigma t Gx t Gx 0 int 0 t GBu 0 tau Gf x tau d tau math so that math sigma 0 0 math is guaranteed and the reaching mode during which the system is sensitive to noise in normal sliding mode is eliminated.

These may include the desire to be charitable to those less able to afford the product or service, their ability to get a tax deduction for offering their services as Charity practice charity , their ability to benefit from the revenue even from a partial payment, their retention of a longtime customer client, or referrals that such a customer client may provide. Some businesses or organizations may have their profits that would have been obtained from a full price sale subsidy subsidized by some other means.
