In this letter, by regarding finite-time stability as an inverse problem, we reveal the essence of finite-time stability and fixed-time stability. Some necessary and sufficient conditions are given. As application, we give a new approach for finite-time and fixed-time synchronization and consensus. Many existing results can be derived by the general approach.
