This paper addresses two minimum reaching time control problems within the context of finite stable systems. The well-known Variable Structure Control (VSC) and Unity Vector Control (UVC) strategies are analyzed, with the primary objective of designing optimal and robust state feedback gains that ensure minimum finite time convergence to the origin. This is achieved in the presence of convex bounded parameter uncertainty and norm-bounded exogenous disturbances. In both cases, the optimality conditions are expressed through Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs), which are solved efficiently within the framework of multivariable systems using existing numerical tools. The theoretical results are demonstrated with two practically motivated examples.
