Robust adaptive finite-time synchronization of nonlinear resource management system

In this paper, the robust adaptive finite-time synchronization problem for nonlinear resource management system with uncertain parameters is discussed. By incorporating the finite-time stability theory and adaptive control approach, a novel and more general adaptive finite-time synchronization control scheme is proposed. The developed result depends on the terminal attractors, which can not only guarantee the robust synchronization of nonlinear resource management system with uncertain parameters in finite-time, but also can guarantee the uncertain parameters to be identified effectively simultaneously. Furthermore, due to the tuning parameters of the terminal attractors, a faster synchronization speed can be obtained by adjusting the parameters in the designed controllers. Finally, an illustrative example with simulation results is provided to illustrate and verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
