“…Therefore, FTSM control and its improvement can ensure convergence within a finite time, and integration with TDE can ensure higher tracking accuracy. But, for the singularity problem, many new sliding mode control methods have also been developed in recent years, such as the nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) method and the nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode (NFTSM) method (Li et al, 2014;Lin et al, 2016;Mondal and Mahanta, 2014;Rangel et al, 2020;Shen et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2019;Yang and Yang, 2011;Yu et al, 2005;Zhihong and Yu, 1997). Compared with some other sliding mode control technologies, NFTSM control has the advantages of fast convergence speed, avoiding singularity, moving away from the origin, and suppressing chatter.…”
