This paper solves the finite-time decentralized control problem for uncertain nonlinear large-scale systems in nonstrict-feedback form. The considered controlled plants are different from the previous results of finite-time control systems, which are the nonstrict-feedback large-scale systems with the unknown functions consisting of all states, interactions, and immeasurable states. Fuzzy logic systems and a filter-based state observer are utilized to model uncertain systems and deal with the immeasurable states, respectively. By combining the backstepping recursive design with Lyapunov function theory, a finite-time adaptive fuzzy decentralized control approach is raised. It is testified that the developed control strategy can guarantee that the closed-loop signals are bounded, and the outputs of systems have satisfactory tracking performance in a finite time. A quadruple-tank process system is given to testify the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed approach.
