Low-Cost Predefined-Time Convergent Super-Twisting Algorithm Control Design

This paper presents a modified super-twisting control algorithm which drives the state of a scalar system at the origin for a predefined time with a low control cost. The designed control law is used for stabilizing a state of a scalar permanent-magnet synchronous motor system in three different cases: disturbance-free, with rate-bounded disturbances, and with both rate-bounded deterministic disturbances and stochastic noises. Performance of the proposed algorithm is validated by numerical simulations, and comparisons to other predefined- time convergent control laws are provided.
