“…Finite-time stability focuses on the system state behavior only in a specified finite-time horizon instead of the whole time interval, which differentiates the finite-time stability from the classical Lyapunov stability studied in [12], [36], [37] for discrete stochastic stability and [14], [18] for stochastic stability of continuous Itô systems. In some practical applications, the considered operating duration of the controlled system is often limited [11], [20], so, in some cases, the transient characteristics of systems may be more important than the state convergence in an infinite-time horizon. As it is wellknown that finite-time stability contains two kinds of different concepts: one is defined as in [1]- [3], [16], [24], [30], [35], which is in fact finite-time bounded in some sense, while the other one is defined as in [5], [8], [20], [25], [28], [31], [32], [34], where finite-time stability satisfies both "stability in Lyapunov sense" and "finite-time attractiveness".…”
