On the Finite-Time Stabilization for a Class of Interconnected Switched Nonlinear Systems via Sampled-Data Output Feedback Control

This article investigates the problem of finite-time stabilization for a class of interconnected switched nonlinear systems (ISNS) via sampled-data output feedback control. First, for each subsystem, the state observers and sampled-data output feedback controllers are constructed. Second, with a selected design parameter and a suitable sampling period, the finite-time stabilization is proved based on the homogeneous theory and related inequalities for the discussed ISNS. Finally, the effectiveness of the presented control method is verified with a numerical example and a practical example.
