Direct Adaptive Preassigned Finite-Time Control With Time-Delay and Quantized Input Using Neural Network.

This paper investigates an adaptive finite-time control (FTC) problem for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems with both time-delays and quantized input from a new point of view. First, a new concept, called preassigned finite-time performance function (PFTF), is defined. Then, another novel notion, called practically preassigned finite-time stability (PPFTS), is introduced. With PFTF and PPFTS in hand, a novel sufficient condition of the FTC is given by using the neural network (NN) control and direct adaptive backstepping technique, which is different from the existing results. In addition, a modified barrier function is first introduced in this work. Moreover, this work is first to focus on the FTC for the situation that the time-delay and quantized input simultaneously exist in the nonlinear systems. Finally, simulation results are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
