Overview
FrançaisABSTRACT
This tutorial presents an introduction to the analysis and design of systems with finite/fixed-time convergence. The main attention is paid to finite-time and fixed-time convergent dynamics. Two large groups of approaches to the analysis/synthesis of this type of convergence are described: based on Lyapunov functions and the theory of homogeneous systems. Some popular control and estimation algorithms, which have accelerated convergence rates, are reviewed. The discretization problems of finite/fixed time convergent systems are discussed. All given results are illustrated by simple examples (scalar or planar).

INTRODUCTION
Lhe theory of control is used to design the regulators for dynamical systems, to estimate the internal state variables or parameters of the plants, to monitor and detect the faults, in many domains of engineering, technical or natural sciences. Important quality requirements, which are associated with these designs, deal with the time of convergence of the estimation or control errors to zero, and their robustness with respect to unmodeled disturbances and measurement noises, or delays in actuation or sensing. To this end, the concepts of convergence in a finite or in a fixed time show their importance, since imposing these acceleration constraints on the closed-loop dynamics also implies remarkable robustness features of these systems. This tutorial provides the basic motivations, definitions of properties finite-time and fixed-time convergent systems, with corresponding design of controls and state observers. A special attention is paid to discrete-time implementation of this kind of algorithms, which is particularly challenging. The exposition is accompanied by illustrative simple examples.
