Automatic Control for Time Delay Markov Jump Systems under Polytopic Uncertainties

The Markov jump systems (MJSs) are a special case of parametric switching system. However, we know that time delay inevitably exists in many practical systems, and is known as the main source of efficiency reduction, and even instability. In this paper, the stochastic stable control design is discussed for time delay MJSs. In this regard, first, the problem of modeling of MJSs and their stability analysis using Lyapunov-Krasovsky functions is studied. Then, a state-feedback controller (SFC) is designed and its stability is proved on the basis of the Lyapunov theorem and linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), in the presence of polytopic uncertainties and time delays. Finally, by various simulations, the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed methods for robust stabilization of MJSs are demonstrated.

Finite-Time Control of Singular Linear Semi-Markov Jump Systems

The problem of finite-time control for singular linear semi-Markov jump systems (SMJSs) with unknown transition rates is considered in this paper. By designing a new semi-positive definite Lyapunov-like function, state feedback controller design methods are given that allow closed-loop singular linear SMJSs to be regular, impulse-free and stochastically finite-time-stable without external disturbance, and stochastically finite-time bounded with external disturbance. The obtained conditions are expressed by a set of strict matrix inequalities, which can be simplified to a set of linear matrix inequalities by a one dimensional search for a scalar. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed method.
