Predefined-time smooth stability analysis of nonlinear chaotic systems with applications in the PMSM system and Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model

Abstract

Abstract This article investigates the predefined-time stabilization of nonlinear chaotic systems with applications in the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) system and Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model. Distinguished from the traditional predefined-time control methods, this investigation develops the smooth control protocols, in which the discontinuous absolute value and signum functions are not used anymore, so that the unfavorable chattering phenomenon can be avoided effectively. By the Lyapunov stability analysis, the sufficient condition is derived to achieve the predefined-time stable for nonlinear chaotic systems, in which the upper-bound time estimation (TE) of arriving at the stable state is explicit in contrast to the traditional finite-/fixed-time convergence. Specifically, the analytical results are successfully applied into stabilizing the PMSM system and Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model within the predefined-time. Finally, the numerical simulations for stabilizing the chaotic PMSM system and Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model verify the effectiveness and advantages of theoretical analysis.
