Finite-time stabilization of linear systems via impulsive control

Abstract

This paper introduces a new concept of finite-time stability of linear time-invariant impulsive systems. The sufficient condition of finite-time stability of the system via impulsive control at fixed times and variable times is obtained, respectively. Such sufficient conditions of finite-time stabilization are given in terms of matrix inequalities. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed results.
