By adopting the sliding mode control (SMC) and the generalized Lyapunov method, the boundary feedback stabilization issue is studied for the fractional diffusion system subject to boundary control matched disturbance. The classical sliding surface and the fractional integral sliding function are constructed and sliding mode controllers are designed respectively to realize the Mittag-Leffler (M-L) stabilization of the considered system. The controller based on the newly-introduced fractional integral sliding function not only helps to relax the constraints on the disturbance but also realizes the same stabilization effect as that of the classical one. The well-posedness result of the solution is also obtained for discontinuous fractional heat equations. Besides, a numerical experiment validates the theoretical outcomes. •The well-posedness of fractional PDEs with discontinuous boundary is proved.•The constraint on the coefficient is relaxed.•The classical sliding surface and a fractional integral sliding function are given.•The range for the external disturbance is broadened.
