The wave equation is studied under the effect of a persistent external perturbation. A dynamical distributed controller is suggested, based on an infinite-dimensional generalization of second-order sliding-mode control techniques, that provides the exponential attainment of a sufficiently smooth arbitrary reference of the state trajectory. The control system comprises of both feedforward and feedback parts, the latter being a discontinuous term directly connected to the plant input through a

A constructive Lyapunov-based proof of convergence of the proposed control algorithm is carried out and supporting numerical results are presented.
