Global finite-time stabilization of a class of inherently nonlinear systems

In this paper, a global stabilization scheme for a class of inherently nonlinear systems with the power of positive real numbers in its chained integrator part is proposed. A recursive design method is developed for constructing the continuous control law. The proof is based on a modified version of adding a power integrator method and finite-time Lyapunov theorem. We show that the result given in this paper can be viewed as an extension of the previous results.
