Finite-time state bounding of homogeneous nonlinear positive systems with disturbance.

This paper deals with the finite-time state bounding problem of homogeneous nonlinear positive systems with disturbance. Based on a technique used in positive systems, explicit conditions are established such that all solutions of homogeneous nonlinear positive systems with degree 0 < p < 1 converge to a ball in finite time. The approach used in this paper is different from the usual Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method. We also extend the main result to the general nonlinear time-varying systems. Finally, two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
