Finite-time stability for impulsive switched delay systems with nonlinear disturbances

This paper investigates finite-time stability (FTS) for impulsive switched delay systems which allow the disturbances may have stronger nonlinearities. Based on novel inequalities technique and average dwell time approach, several stability criteria are established to guarantee that the state trajectory of the system does not exceed a certain threshold over a pre-specified finite time interval. Two examples are also provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
