This paper studies fixed-time output feedback stabilization for chained nonholonomic systems, using switching control and bi-limit homogeneous techniques. The authors first construct two fixed-time state-feedback stabilizing controllers, then propose a new state observer with a formalized switching law that targets uniform convergence via high-order terms and exact finite-time convergence via low-order terms. They further derive two fixed-time output-feedback stabilizing controllers—one discontinuous with a specific switching law and one continuous—using bi-limit homogeneity and Lyapunov stability, and present an example to demonstrate feasibility. The paper is a preprint and notes it has not been peer reviewed. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract This paper studies the fixed-time output feedback stabilization control problem for chained nonholonomic systems. By means of switching control and $bi$-limit homogeneous techniques, it is firstly constructed two fixed-time state feedback stabilizing controllers for the considered systems. Then, a new state observer with a formalized switching law is proposed to fixed-time estimate system states, where high-order terms are applied to get uniform convergence regardless of initial conditions and low-order terms are aimed to the exact convergence in finite time. Finally, based on $bi$-limit homogeneous technique and Lyapunov stability theorem, fixed-time output feedback stabilizing controllers, one of which is discontinuous with a specific switching control law and the other is continuous, are constructed and the fixed-time output feedback stabilization of the considered systems is thus guaranteed. An example is presented to show the feasibility of the proposed fixed-time output feedback stabilization control strategy.
