Finite-Time Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems With Parametric and Dynamic Uncertainties

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> In this note, non-smooth finite-time stabilization of nonlinear systems with parametric and dynamic uncertainties is investigated. To solve this problem, the input-to-state stability property is used to characterize unmeasured dynamic uncertainties. A constructive partial-state control design is proposed on the basis of involved combined use of Lyapunov, backstepping and input-to-state stability techniques. Under small-gain type local conditions, a solution for the finite-time regulation of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems is obtained. </para>
