In this paper, finite-time robust control problems are considered for a class of uncertain systems subject to exogenous disturbances, and an input–output finite-time stabilization (IO-FTS) method is presented with finite-time boundedness (FTB) constraints. For an uncertain system, a state feedback controller is designed, via linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), to ensure the IO-FTS and FTB of the closed-loop system. By using Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient conditions for IO-FTS and FTB are given. These conditions are expressed as a feasibility problem of a set of LMIs. The direct current motor control problem and roll autopilot design of a skid-to-turn missile are considered for a case study. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method as a promising approach to controlling similar uncertain systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
