Finite-time robust passive control for a class of uncertain Lipschitz nonlinear systems with time-delays

The finite-time passive control for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems with time-delays and uncertainties is studied. The nonlinear parameters are satisfied Lipschitz conditions. An optimal robust passive controller with respect to the finite-time interval is designed while the exogenous disturbances are unknown but energy bounded. Based on passive control theory, the sufficient condition for the existence of finite-time robust passive controller is given. This condition such that the resulting closed-loop system is finite-time boundedness (FTB) for all admissible uncertainties and satisfies the given passive control index. By using the constructed Lyapunov function, and applying linear matrix inequalities techniques (LMIs), the design method of the finite-time optimal passive controller is derived and can be obtained. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.
