Finite-time stabilization of uncertain nonlinear planar systems (Q1179527)

A stabilizer is described that \(0\in R^ 2\) a global finite-time attractor for a class of nonlinear uncertain two-dimensional dynamical systems. The stabilizer is of discontinuous feedback form: the analytic framework is that of differential inclusions. An adaptive version of the stabilizer is also developed that, for a larger class of systems, guarantees global asymptotic attractivity of the origin.
