Abstract

This paper is devoted to stabilizing the high-order uncertain nonlinear system in a fixed time by output feedback control. First, a novel settling time solution method is proposed by establishing an indirect double system and using the comparison principle. Then a fixed-time observer and a neural networked based adaptive law are constructed to estimate the state and the unknown disturbance for the high-order uncertain nonlinear system. Furthermore, a fixed-time output feedback controller is proposed via the homogeneity technique. The upper bound of the settling time is analyzed for the closed-loop system under the proposed output feedback control. Finally, simulation examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
