This paper presents a novel finite‐time limit cycle control for a class of strict‐feedback non‐linear systems with input dead‐zone non‐linearity, parameter uncertainties, and unknown disturbances. Creating attractive limit cycles in the phase plane of dynamical systems leads to generating sustained oscillations in the system's output. Achieving the finite‐time limit cycle is an extremely challenging problem because existing finite‐time theorems cannot be applied directly. To solve this difficulty, a novel structure of the sliding surface is introduced concerning the shape of the desired limit cycle. Then, to achieve the control objective, the sliding mode and backstepping control techniques are employed throughout the finite‐time stability concept. Simultaneously, to deal with the parameter uncertainties in the system's dynamic, the adaptive scheme is utilized. Moreover, a finite‐time command filter is introduced to cope with the trouble of the explosion of complexity in the backstepping method. The presented method rigorously ensures that the trajectories of the closed‐loop system converge to a small boundary region of the desired stable limit cycle within a finite time and equivalently the system's output reaches the desired periodic oscillation after a finite time. The applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method are validated by providing the comparative simulation results.
