      abstract = {Previous research on fixed/finite-time sliding-mode  control focuses on forcing a system state (vector) to  converge within a certain time moment, regardless of how  each state element converges. This book introduces a  control problem with unique finite/fixed-time stability  considerations, namely time-synchronized stability, where  at the same time, all the system state elements converge to  the origin, and fixed-time-synchronized stability, where  the upper bound of the synchronized settling time is  invariant with any initial state. Accordingly, sufficient  conditions for (fixed- ) time-synchronized stability are  presented. These stability formulations grant essentially  advantageous performance when a control system (with  diversified subsystems) is expected to accomplish multiple  actions synchronously, e.g., grasping with a robotic hand,  multi-agent simultaneous cooperation, etc. Further, the  analytical solution of a (fixed) time-synchronized stable  system is obtained and discussed. Applications to linear  systems, disturbed nonlinear systems, and network systems  are provided. In addition, comparisons with traditional  fixed/finite-time sliding mode control are suitably  detailed to showcase the full power of (fixed- )  time-synchronized control.},
