Claim One:
1. A sliding mode AGC controller, comprising: a sliding mode controller having a plurality of feedback gain inputs, and a control signal output, the control signal output being adapted for connection to a control input of a circuit under control, the feedback gain inputs being adapted for connection to operating point outputs of the circuit under control, the sliding mode controller generating a plurality of switching vectors and, generating a plurality of feedback gain outputs responsive to the operating point outputs and the switching vectors; means for applying a load disturbance to the circuit under control; and to a genetic algorithmic optimizer connected to the sliding mode controller, the genetic algorithmic optimizer having an output responsive to the load disturbance, the genetic algorithmic optimizer including: means for searching for optimal values of both the switching vectors and the feedback gain outputs on a predefined search space; and means for determining the optimal values by minimizing a plurality of objective functions used by the genetic algorithmic optimizer.
