In distributed optimization of multi-agent systems, agents cooperate to minimize a global
function which is a sum of local objective functions. Motivated by applications including …

Fixed-time cooperative control is currently a hot research topic in multiagent systems since it
can provide a guaranteed settling time, which does not depend on initial conditions …

The adaptive fixed-time consensus problem for a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems
(MASs) with actuator faults is considered in this paper. To approximate the unknown …

Prescribed-time (PT) control for nonlinear systems, originated from Song et al., has gained
increasing attention among the control community. The salient feature of PT control lies in its …

Most existing prescribed time control methods are valid for finite time intervals rather than
infinite time intervals, and can only achieve regulation under vanishing or no uncertainties …

In this article, a robust adaptive fixed-time sliding-mode control method is proposed for
robotic systems with parameter uncertainties and input saturation. First, a model-based fixed …

This article investigates an adaptive practical fixed-time control strategy for the output
tracking control of a class of strict feedback nonlinear systems. By utilizing a backstep** …

While non-smooth approaches (including sliding mode control) provide explicit feedback
laws that ensure finite-time stabilization but in terminal time that depends on the initial …

This article is concerned with the problem of fixed-time (FXT) and preassigned-time (PAT)
synchronization for discontinuous dynamic networks by improving FXT stability and …

In this paper, we present a new prescribed-time distributed control method for consensus
and containment of networked multiple systems. Different from both regular finitetime control …
