Arie Levant

Prof. Arie Levant is a Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics at Tel Aviv University's School of Mathematical Sciences, actively teaching Spring 2025 courses with Monday reception hours via Zoom (17:10-18:00). His foundational work established High-Order and Homogeneous Sliding Mode Control theories alongside Robust Exact Differentiation.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. (1987) from USSR Academy of Sciences, Moscow: Thesis "Higher-order sliding modes and their application in control of uncertain processes" supervised by Prof. S.V. Emelyanov
• Postgraduate studies (1983-1987) in mathematical control theory at same institute
• B.Sc./M.Sc. (1980) from Moscow State University under Prof. V.I. Arnold in Theory of Differential Equations

Levant's research centers on Nonlinear Control Theory with specialization in Sliding Mode Control, Homogeneous Discontinuous Control, and Robust Exact High-Order Differentiation. His methodologies enable finite-time-exact tracking in uncertain systems and real-time noise-robust signal differentiation, addressing fundamental challenges in control system resilience.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2016-2023) reveals concentrated advancements in chattering reduction, discretization for digital implementation, and noise filtering within sliding mode frameworks. These works demonstrate consistent focus on bridging theoretical control principles with practical engineering applications, particularly in real-time signal processing and robust controller design.
