A finite-time-convergent differentiator is presented that is based on singular perturbation technique. The merits of this differentiator exist in three aspects: rapidly finite-time convergence compared with other typical differentiators; no chattering phenomenon; and besides the derivatives of the derivable signals, the generalized derivatives of some classes of signals can be obtained-for example, the generalized derivative of a triangular wave is square wave, etc. The theoretical results are confirmed by computer simulations.
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.
