In this paper, a novel approach for finite-time stabilization of uncertain affine systems is proposed. In the proposed approach, a fast terminal sliding mode (FTSM) controller is designed, based on the input-output feedback linearization of the nonlinear system with considering its internal dynamics. One of the main advantages of the proposed approach is that only the outputs and external state...

Robust finite-time stability and stabilization problems for a class of linear uncertain time-delay systems are studied. The concept of finite-time stability is extended to linear uncertain time-delay systems. Based on the Lyapunov method and properties of matrix inequalities, a sufficient condition that ensures finite-time stability of linear uncertain time-delay systems is given. By virtue of ...
