The robust H2/<em>H</em>∞ control strategy for a class of linear continuous-time uncertain systems with randomly jumping parameters is investigated. The transition of the jumping parameters is decided by a finite-state Markov process. The uncertainties are supposed to be norm-bounded. It is desired to design a linear state feedback control strategies such that the closed-loop system satisfies H performance and minimizes the H2 norm of the system. A sufficient condition is first established on the existence of the robust H2/<em>H</em>∞controller bases on the bounded real lemma. Then the corresponding state-feedback law is given in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It is showed that this condition is equivalent to the feasible solutions problem of LMI. Furthermore, the control strategy design problem is converted into a convex optimization problem subject to LMI constraints, which can be easily solved by standard numerical software.
