The controller of global stabilization for multivariable nonlinear dynamical systems (Q2745593)

The global stabilisation of the system NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\begin{aligned} \dot x & = f(x,\xi,t),\;x\in\mathbb{R}^n,\;\xi\in\mathbb{R}^\ell\\ \dot\xi & = A\xi+Bu,\;u\in\mathbb{R}^m \end{aligned}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE containing partly linear dynamics is studied by applying a finite-time reachable terminal sliding manifold, which obviates the usual peaking phenomenon in nonlinear systems. The assumptions are that the zero dynamics NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\dot x=f(x,0,t)NEWLINE\]NEWLINE has the origin as a globally asymptotically stable equilibrium and that the pair \((A,B)\) is controllable. The controller is based on the fact that the system NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\dot x=-\alpha x-\beta x^{q\over p}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE converges to zero in finite time, for correctly chosen parameters \(\alpha, \beta,p,q\).
