An adaptive fixed-time control scheme is designed for nonlinear systems with unknown uncertainties. In the design process of a backstepping controller, the Lyapunov function, an effective controller, and adaptive law are constructed. Combined with the fixed-time Lyapunov stability criterion, it is proved that the proposed control scheme can ensure the stability of the error system in finite time, and the convergence time is independent of the initial condition. Finally, simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e23080963","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,27]],"date-time":"2021-07-27T12:18:31Z","timestamp":1627388311000},"page":"963","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Adaptive Fixed-Time Control of Strict-Feedback High-Order Nonlinear Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6400-9184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yang","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Control Engineering, Qingdao University of Technology, Qingdao 266525, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6561-5917","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianhua","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Control Engineering, Qingdao University of Technology, Qingdao 266525, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7465-9882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoyun","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Control Engineering, Qingdao University of Technology, Qingdao 266525, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5153-0675","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cheng Siong","family":"Chin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science, Agriculture, and Engineering, Newcastle University Singapore, Singapore 599493, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23","DOI":"10.1109\/41.184818","article-title":"Sliding Mode Control Design Principles and Applications to Electric Drives","volume":"40","author":"Utkin","year":"2002","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
