Fixed-time and prescribed-time consensus control can bring an explicit estimate of the
settling time without dependence on initial conditions, which is important in providing control …

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 …

It is highly desirable yet challenging to achieve zero-error tracking within a given short time
period for uncertain multi-input–multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems. Previous results are …

Cooperative guidance and control design of multiple vehicles plays an important role in
obtaining benefits of cooperation for enhancement of combat effectiveness in modern …

In this work, we investigate the prescribed-time consensus tracking problem for second-
order multi-agent systems under directed topology. A new hybrid distributed observer for …

Finite/fixed-time control yields a promising tool to optimize a system's settling time, but lacks
the ability to separately define the settling time and the convergence domain (known as …

This article aims to solve two intricate problems in nonlinear control: 1) the singularity
caused by driving the control to infinity at the prescribed time and 2) the stabilization via …

It is an interesting problem to achieve adaptive prescribed-time control for strict-feedback
systems with unknown and fast time-varying parameters. In this paper we present a solution …

For systems in canonical form with nonvanishing uncertainties/disturbances, this work
presents an approach to full-state regulation within prescribed time irrespective of initial …

We study finite-time control of perturbed dynamical systems based on the time
transformation approach. For addressing time-critical applications, where the execution of a …
