Predefined-time sliding mode control of chaotic systems based on disturbance observer

<abstract><p>In this paper, in order to realize the predefined-time control of $ n $-dimensional chaotic systems with disturbance and uncertainty, a disturbance observer and sliding mode control method were presented. A sliding manifold was designed for ensuring that when the error system runs on it, the tracking error was stable within a predefined time. A sliding mode controller was developed which enabled the dynamical system to reach the sliding surface within a predefined time. The total expected convergence time can be acquired through presetting two predefined-time parameters. The results demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed control method.</p></abstract>
