Finite-time stability of linear time-varying singular systems with impulsive effects

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new concept of finite-time stability of linear time-varying singular systems with impulses at fixed times, and present new results for the above-mentioned class of system in the form of sufficient conditions. A sufficient condition is given in terms of matrix inequalities, which gives the opportunity of fitting the finite-time control problem in the general framework via impulsive control. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed result.

Keywords:

• finite-time stability
• singular system
• impulsive control
