Abstract: Aimed at faster convergence rate, this paper investigates finite-time containment control problem for second-order multi-agent systems with norm-bounded non-linear perturbation. When topology between the followers are strongly connected, the nonsingular fast terminal sliding-mode error is defined, corresponding discontinuous control protocol is designed and the appropriate value range of control parameter is obtained by applying finite-time stability analysis, so that the followers converge to and move along the desired trajectories within the convex hull formed by the leaders in finite time. Furthermore, on the basis of the sliding-mode error defined, the corresponding distributed continuous control protocols are investigated with fast exponential reaching law and double exponential reaching law, so as to make the followers move to the small neighbourhoods of their desired locations and keep within the dynamic convex hull formed by the leaders in finite time to achieve practical finite-time containment control. Meanwhile, we develop the faster control scheme according to comparison of the convergence rate of these two different reaching laws. Simulation examples are given to verify the correctness of theoretical results.
