On Exponential Stability for a Class of Uncertain Neutral Markovian Jump Systems with Mode-Dependent Delays

The exponential stability of neutral Markovian jump systems with interval mode-dependent time-varying delays, nonlinear perturbations, and partially known transition rates is investigated. A novel augmented stochastic Lyapunov functional is constructed, which employs the improved bounding technique and contains triple-integral terms to reduce conservativeness; then the delay-range-dependent and rate-dependent exponential stability criteria are developed by Lyapunov stability theory, reciprocally convex lemma, and free-weighting matrices. The corresponding results are extended to the uncertain case. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Exponential Passification of Markovian Jump Nonlinear Systems with Partially Known Transition Rates

The problems of delay-dependent exponential passivity analysis and exponential passification of uncertain Markovian jump systems (MJSs) with partially known transition rates are investigated. In the deterministic model, the time-varying delay is in a given range and the uncertainties are assumed to be norm bounded. With constructing appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) combining with Jensen’s inequality and the free-weighting matrix method, delay-dependent exponential passification conditions are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Based on the condition, desired state-feedback controllers are designed, which guarantee that the closed-loop MJS is exponentially passive. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
