Indirect adaptive fuzzy control of nonlinear systems with terminal sliding modes

A global fast terminal sliding mode controller with fast terminal adaptive fuzzy approximator is proposed for general single input single output nonlinear systems. The finite time convergence property of the fast terminal sliding mode is used in the design of the controller. It is applied not only in the reaching phase and the sliding phase of the sliding mode control system, but also in the adaptive fuzzy approximator for the unknown nonlinear system. Stability of the control system and convergence of the approximation are proved
