This paper presents a flow invariance based approach to variable structure systems. Sliding mode in both single input and multi input systems is described via some special flow structure of the state space, pertaining to adjacent systems of variable structure. Quasi sliding motion is also treated using flow-invariance. A simulation procedure helps prove the advantages of this approach in designing quasi sliding mode with oscillation-free control.
