“…Since Weiss and Infante (1965) proposed the concept of finite-time stability in Weiss and Infante (1965), the problem of adaptive finite-time tracking control has drawn considerable attentions (e.g. Bhat & Bernstein, 2000;Lu & Xia, 2013;Song, Niu, & Zou, 2017;Wang, Wu, & Zong, 2017;Yu et al, 2005;Zhu, Xia, & Fu, 2011). A rigorous foundation for the theory of finite-time stability of continuous autonomous systems was provided by Bhat and Bernstein (2000).…”
