Abstract

We present a class of feedback control functions which increase the convergence rates of nonlinear dynamical systems. A simple sign function is used to obtain convergence in finite time. We describe a trajectory learning procedure which preserves the convergence property of the system. Based on the proposed feedback, we developed a new neural network model which converges in finite time.
