Finite Time Control Of Networked Systems

Finite-Time Control of Networked Systems

Finite-Time Control of Networked Systems

This book mainly provides recent advances in finite-time and fixed-time control issues for complex networks and neural networks. It is well known that finite-time techniques have more advantages over asymptotical ones. Besides fast convergence rates, finite-time techniques have better robustness and disturbance rejection properties. However, it is challenging to deal with time delay in studying finite-time control. For readers’ easy understanding, the finite-time control issue for systems with and without time delays is separately introduced in this book. Moreover, the issues of finite-time and fixed-time control for differential equations with discontinuous states on the right-hand side are also considered. Many interesting results concerning finite-time and fixed-time synchronization are provided in the form of lemmas, theorems, or corollaries, accompanied by systematic theoretical analysis for the proof of their sufficient conditions, controller design, and new analysis techniques. Each new result is verified by at least one numerical example with detailed data analysis. Therefore, this book is an advantageous tool and is beneficial for interested experts and scholars in the control field.

Tracking Control of Networked Systems via Sliding-Mode

The book focuses on the research methods of networked control systems via sliding mode. The problems with network disturbances, network induced delay, out-of-sequence and packet loss, and network attacks are studied in detail. The content studied in this book is introduced in detail and is verified by simulation or experiment. It is especially suitable for readers who are interested in learning the control scheme of networked systems. This book can benefit researchers, engineers, and students in related fields such as electrical, control, automation, and cyber security.
