The global finite-time observers designed in this paper are with two homogeneous terms. The global finite-time convergence of the observation error system is achieved by combining global asymptotic stability and local finite-time stability.enAcademy of Sciences of the Czech RepublicGlobal finite-time observerNonlinear systemHomogeneityArticle
