Hi,

please explain different techniques to equalize the slopes of inductor currents at the output of DC DC Buck regulators connected in parallel operated from two different input Voltages.

That is a broad topic. What specific ICs are you looking at for this function?

TI Power Supply Design Seminars back in the Unitrode days had a paper on load share.
It's a little hard to find, but all the Unitrode seminars are located; www.ti.com/psds

In the System Level Considerations folder you can find;
Paralleling Power — Choosing and Applying the Best Technique for Load Sharing
http://www.ti.com/lit/slup207

This paper offers discussion on many areas of load share, including inductor slopes.
