Boutheina SFAIHI, Sirine FEKIH, Mohamed BENREJEB
Abstract

In this paper, a constructive design methodology for Finite-Time Stability (FTS) of a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems is proposed. A dead-beat controller that can achieve n–finite-time stability is constructed. Furthermore, stability conditions, based on the use of Borne and Gentina practical stability criterion and matrices in the Benrejeb arrow form, are synthesized. Similarity between transient behaviors of dead-beat controlled linearized and nonlinear third order systems are shown and concluding remarks are formulated.
