Finite-time state-feedback control for a class of stochastic constrained nonlinear systems

In this article, the finite-time stability problem is investigated for a kind of stochastic nonlinear systems subject to asymmetric output constraints. Firstly, a new asymmetric barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is introduced to deal with the constraint on output variable. Further, through incorporating the proposed BLF into the adding a power integrator technique, a state-feedback controller is explicitly designed. With the help of the stochastic Lyapunov stability theory, it is then proved that the origins of the considered systems are finite-time stable in probability under the designed controller. Meanwhile, the proposed control scheme also guarantees that the pre-given output constraint is not violated in the almost sure sense. Finally, the simulation results of an example are provided to demonstrate the derived theoretical conclusion. (C) 2022 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
