Adaptive fast finite-time multiple-surface sliding control for a class of uncertain non-linear systems

This paper concerns the adaptive fast finite-time multiple-surface sliding control (AFFTMSSC) problem for a class of high-order uncertain non-linear systems of which the upper bounds of the system uncertainties are unknown. By using the fast control Lyapunov function and the method of so-called adding a power integrator merging with adaptive technique, a recursive design procedure is provided, which guarantees the fast finite-time stability of the closed-loop system. Further, it is proved that the control input is bounded.
