Abstract

In this paper, the problem of finite-time synchronization between two high-order nonlinear systems is investigated. We consider two cases: (1) All of the states information are available and (2) only the information relative outputs can be obtained. In the former case, we propose a control algorithm to achieve the synchronization in finite time. In the latter case, an observer-based output feedback control is adopted to guarantee the convergence of the slave system trajectories to the trajectories of the master system in finite time. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
