Many practical systems can be modeled in terms of uncertainties, which refer to the differences or errors between actual data and mathematical simulations. However, systems including slight uncertainties and exogenous disturbances may lead to the instability of those systems. Besides, the behavior of systems is preferable to investigate within a prescribed bound over a fixed time interval. Therefore, in this paper, we study a robust finite-time control of discrete-time linear switched positive time-varying delay systems with interval uncertainties and exogenous disturbance. A distinctive feature of this research is that the considered systems consist of finite-time bounded subsystems and finite-time unbounded subsystems. A class of quasi-alternative switching signals is validly designed to analyze the mechanism and switching behaviors of the systems among their subsystems. By utilizing a copositive Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional method combined with the slow mode-dependent average dwell time and the fast mode-dependent average dwell time switching techniques, new sufficient conditions containing several symmetric negative-definite matrices are derived to guarantee robust finite-time control of the systems. These results are applied to a water-quality controllability model in streams to the standard level. Finally, the consistent results between the theoretical analysis and the corresponding numerical simulations are shown.
