Fixed-time stabilization of general linear systems with input delay

In this paper, the fixed-time stabilization control problem for general linear systems with input delay is addressed. In addition to the Artstein–Kwon–Pearson reduction transformation, a pre-compensation control structure is established first to convert the original system into a single input delay-free linear system. Then, we show that the origin of the transformed system is fixed-time stabilizable by an additional homogeneous control design if the original system is controllable. Finally, an example is used to validate the proposed method via simulation results.
