Abstract
This work investigates the finite-time tracking control problem for a class of uncertain strict-feedback nonlinear systems from a new perspective. First, a novel concept called finite-time performance function (FTPF) is defined. Further, a new sufficient condition of finite-time stability is derived and the tracking error can converge to a predefined region within a finite-time interval. The design process of the proposed technique is simpler. Finally, four simulation examples are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of presented method.
