Finite-time chaos control via nonsingular terminal sliding mode control

This paper considers the nonsingular terminal sliding mode control for chaotic systems with uncertain parameters or disturbances. The switching surface is designed technically to realize fast convergence. The controller derived from such switching surface is nonsingular and it can stabilize the chaotic systems in a finite time. Besides the second-order system and the triangular system, the proposed method can also be applied to a general class of uncertain nonlinear system. Finally, simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the design.
