Finite-time guaranteed cost fuzzy control for continuous-time nonlinear systems

The problem of finite-time guaranteed cost fuzzy control for continuous-time nonlinear systems is concerned in this paper. First, the definition on finite-time stability (FTS) for continuous-time nonlinear systems is provided and we give a clear interpretation for finite-time guaranteed cost control. Second, some sufficient conditions are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequities (LMIs), which guarantee the requirements of the provided performance criterion. Finally, a suitable example is provided to illuminate the validity of the proposed scheme.
