This paper is considered with the finite time stability (FTS) for positive nonlinear systems. First, the fuzzy copositive Lyapunov function (FCLF) is established to reduce the conservatism of FTS conditions. Then, by using FCLF, a new FTS criteria of the studied systems is established. Since, the time-derivatives (TD) of membership functions are considered in the stability analysis, our results are less conservative. Besides, the obtained conditions are expressed via the linear programming technique, that can be verified effectively. Finally, the pest-predator system is used to reflect the effectiveness of the results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
