Deterministic and Stochastic Fixed-Time Stability of Discrete-time Autonomous Systems
Farzaneh Tatari, Hamidreza Modares
Abstract
This paper studies deterministic and stochastic fixed-time stability of autonomous nonlinear discrete-time (DT) systems. Lyapunov conditions are first presented under which the fixed-time stability of deterministic DT systems is certified. Extensions to systems under deterministic perturbations as well as stochastic noise are then considered. For the former, sensitivity to perturbations for fixed-time stable DT systems is analyzed, and it is shown that fixed-time attractiveness results from the presented Lyapunov conditions. For the latter, sufficient Lyapunov conditions for fixed-time stability in probability of nonlinear stochastic DT systems are presented. The fixed upper bound of the settling-time function is derived for both fixed-time stable and fixed-time attractive systems, and a stochastic settling-time function fixed upper bound is derived for stochastic DT systems. Illustrative examples are given along with simulation results to verify the introduced results.
