Prescribed-Time Control and Its Latest Developments

Prescribed-time (PT) control for nonlinear systems, originated from Song et al., has gained increasing attention among the community. The salient feature of PT lies in its ability to achieve system stability within a finite settling time user-assignable advance irrespective initial conditions. It is such unique that enticed many follow-up studies on this technically important area, motivating numerous research advancements. In article, we provide comprehensive survey recent developments control. Through concise introduction concept control, and taxonomy covering: 1) robust adaptive control; 2) single-input–single-output (SISO) systems multi-input–multioutput (MIMO) systems; 3) an isolated multiagent present accessible review interesting topic. We highlight key techniques, fundamental assumptions adopted various as well some new design ideas. also discuss several possible future directions toward
