This article develops the sliding mode control (SMC) strategy for linear impulsive systems with matched disturbances. Such systems describe dynamical systems that evolve according to continuous process most of the time with matched disturbances, but instantaneously exhibit discontinuities, i.e., impulsive disturbances. A suitable sliding surface function is proposed and the resulting sliding mode dynamics are a class of linear impulsive systems. Some sufficient conditions coupled with impulse time sequences are proposed to guarantee the reachability of the predesigned sliding surface and the stability of the reduced-order impulsive systems under sliding motion, respectively. We show how restrictions on the structure of the systems and impulses should be imposed to ensure the feasibility of the proposed SMC strategy in comparison with general SMC in continuous space. To show the effectiveness of the proposed approach, two simulation examples are presented at the end.
