contents This article presents an adaptive Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Control framework for uncertain first-order systems, with rate-bounded perturbations, where the bound is constant but unknown. Positive definite barrier functions, when used in self-tuning super-twisting controllers may introduce some conservatism in relation to initial estimations of the perturbation rate bound. Moreover, discrete time implementation of the algorithm does not necessarily guarantee the boundedness of the closed-loop trajectories when sudden changes in the perturbation occur in between two time samples. The salient features of the proposed methodology pertain to extending the use of positive semidefinite barrier functions to Super-Twisting controller adaptation and the employment of a "nested barriers" scheme that ensures boundedness of the solutions even for "unfavourable" perturbations-to-sampling time ratios. The stability of the closed-loop system is assessed via Lyapunov analysis and simulations demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed framework.
