Finite/Fixed-Time Stabilization for Nonlinear Interconnected Systems With Dead-Zone Input

The decentralized control problem is considered for a class of nonlinear time-varying interconnected systems. Each subsystem is with the dead-zone input and unmodeled dynamics. The interconnections are bounded by time-varying nonlinear functions, which relaxes the commonly used linear condition or time-invariant condition. Based on the recursive method, we design a new decentralized finite-time controller such that all the state variables reach zero in finite time. The reaching time is based on the design parameters and initial value of system state. Furthermore, the fixed time stability conditions are given and the constructed controller can guarantee the fixed-time stabilization of the system, in which the reaching time only depends the control design parameters. Finally, simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed method.
