In this article, we study the finite-time stability (FTS) and finite time stabilization problems for a class of switched impulsive systems evolving on an arbitrary domain. This problem is formulated using scale theory where domain can be continuous, discrete, union disjoint intervals with variable gaps lengths or any combination these. Using common Lyapunov-quadratic Lyapunov-like functions, es...

Backstepping and a finite-time stability result of Garrard (Garrard, 1972) are combined to provide a recursive design algorithm for finite-time stability of a class of nonlinear systems. Copyright c ©2005 IFAC

the purpose of this study is to compare the results of different probabilistic methods such as the perturbation method, stochastic finite element method (sfem) and monte carlo method. these methods were used to study the convergence of direct approach for slope stability analysis and are developed for a linear soil behavior. in this study, two dimensional random fields are used and both the fir...

The problem of finite-time control is addressed in this paper for a class of switched delay systems via dynamic output feedback. First, the concepts of finite-time stability and finite-time boundedness are extended to switched delay systems, respectively. Second, by resorting to the average dwell time approach and Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional technique, some new delay-dependent criteria guara...
