“…A great deal of effort has been devoted to the finite-time convergence guarantee of the system states. The control methods that could provide finite-time stability include the higherorder sliding mode control (HOSMC) [10,11], the terminal SMC (TSMC) [12,13], the nonsingular TSMC (NTSMC) [14,15], fast TSMC (FTSMC) [16,17], global FTSMC (GFTSMC) [18,19], the nonsingular fast TSMC (NFTSMC) [20,21], and the finite-time TSMC (FnTSMC) [22,23]. HOSMC is capable of providing finite-time stability, and chattering reduction can also be achieved by regularization of switching functions and by considering (virtual) actor dynamics as input low-pass filters.…”
