“…In recent years, some methods have been developed to design adaptive finite-time synchronizers such as adaptive feedback control (Vincent and Guo, 2011), nonlinear adaptive control (Aghababa and Aghababa, 2012), intermittent adaptive control (Mei et al., 2014), adaptive terminal sliding mode (Lee et al., 2012), and the adaptive super-twisting algorithm (Siricharuanun and Pukdeboon, 2016). To the best of our knowledge, the problem of robust finite-time synchronization via the combination finite time theory, global SMC, and adaptive tuning laws has received little consideration.…”
