Adaptive Finite-Time Tracking Control of Nonlinear Systems With Dynamics Uncertainties

In this article, the problem of adaptive backstepping finite-time tracking control is investigated for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics and dynamic disturbances. A modified finite-time dynamic signal is first introduced to dominate the dynamic disturbance. By using the adaptive control, backstepping technique, and finite-time stability theory, an adaptive finite-time tracking controller is developed. Under the proposed control scheme, the finite-time tracking performance and the boundedness property of all signals in the closed-loop system are ensured. Finally, simulation results check the effectiveness of the suggested approach.
