Finite-time output feedback control for a class of stochastic low-order nonlinear systems

This paper discusses the problem of finite-time stabilisation for a class of stochastic low-order nonlinear systems via output feedback. By generalising the adding a power integrator technique, constructing an implementable reduced-order observer and using the stochastic finite-time stability criterion, a finite-time output feedback controller is presented to guarantee that the closed-loop system is finite-time stable in probability. A simulation example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
