Finite-time control for a class of networked control systems with short time-varying delays and sampling jitter

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the finite-time control problem for a class of networked control systems (NCSs) with short time-varying delays and sampling jitter. Considering a state feedback controller, the closed-loop NCS is described as a discrete-time linear system model, and the uncertain parts reflect the effect of the the network-induced delays and short sampling jitter of the system dynamics. Then a robust approach is proposed to solve the finite-time stability and stabilization problems for the considered NCS. An illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results.
