Global Finite-Time Stabilization of a Class of Non-Smooth Upper-Triangular Systems

Abstract This paper studies the problem of global finite-time stabilization of a class of nonsmooth upper-triangular systems with relaxed conditions on the nonlinearities. Inspired by the controller design methods in Qian and Lin (2012), a finite-time stabilizer and a new Lyapunov function are recursively constructed in a bottom-to-up manner.
