Finite-Time Control for a Class of Inverted Pendulum Systems

This work addresses the finite-time control problem for a class of nonlinear inverted pendulum systems.A series of homogeneous controllers, which are capable of guaranteeing the Skincare Kit locally finite-time stability for the closed-loop systems, are first developed using the adding one power integrator method and backstespping technique.Subsequ
