A finite-time controller is designed for a class of nonlinear systems subject to sector nonlinear inputs. A novel and simple approach is suggested based on the finite-time control principle. The designed sliding-mode controller can drive a chaotic system to track a smooth target signal in a finite time. The chaotic Duffing–Holmes oscillator is used for verification and demonstration.
This paper studies the stability of the primal–dual algorithm for Internet congestion control with round-trip communication delays. The model is formulated as a time-delayed multivariable control system for a general network, and then is studied by using time-delayed control theory. A necessary and sufficient condition is established for a network with a general topology, and then is further discussed for the representative dumbbell network. The stability condition is applied to the design of FAST TCP and adaptive virtual queue (AVQ) scheme as guideline, which is validated by simulation results.
