Stochastic stability and stabilization of discrete-time singular Markovian jump systems with partially unknown transition probabilities

This paper considers the stochastic stability and stabilization of discrete-time singular Markovian jump systems with partially unknown transition probabilities. Firstly, a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for the stochastic stability is proposed in terms of LMIs, then a set of sufficient conditions is proposed for the design of a state feedback controller to guarantee that the corresponding closed-loop systems are regular, causal, and stochastically stable by employing the LMI technique. Finally, some examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches

This paper discusses H∞ control problems of continuous-time and discrete-time singular Markovian jump systems (SMJSs) with bounded transition probabilities. Improved sufficient conditions for continuous-time SMJSs to be regular, impulse free, and stochastically stable with γ-disturbance attenuation are established via less conservative inequality to estimate the transition jump rates, so are the discrete-time SMJSs. With the obtained conditions, the design of a state feedback controller which ensures the resulting closed-loop system to be stochastically admissible and with H∞ performance is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, illustrative examples are presented to show the effectiveness and the benefits of the proposed approaches

Stabilization computation for a kind of uncertain switched systems using non-fragile sliding mode observer method

A non-fragile sliding mode control problem will be investigated in this article. The problem focuses on a kind of uncertain switched singular time-delay systems in which the state is not available. First, according to the designed non-fragile observer, we will construct an integral-type sliding surface, in which the estimated unmeasured state is used. Second, we synthesize a sliding mode controller. The reachability of the specified sliding surface could be proved by this sliding mode controller in a finite time. Moreover, linear matrix inequality conditions will be developed to check the exponential admissibility of the sliding mode dynamics. After that, the gain matrices designed will be given along with it. Finally, some numerical result will be provided, and the result can be used to prove the effectiveness of the method

Stability and Stabilization of Continuous-Time Markovian Jump Singular Systems with Partly Known Transition Probabilities

This paper investigates the problem of the stability and stabilization of continuous-time Markovian jump singular systems with partial information on transition probabilities. A new stability criterion which is necessary and sufficient is obtained for these systems. Furthermore, sufficient conditions for the state feedback controller design are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods

Variance-constrained multiobjective control and filtering for nonlinear stochastic systems: A survey

The multiobjective control and filtering problems for nonlinear stochastic systems with variance constraints are surveyed. First, the concepts of nonlinear stochastic systems are recalled along with the introduction of some recent advances. Then, the covariance control theory, which serves as a practical method for multi-objective control design as well as a foundation for linear system theory, is reviewed comprehensively. The multiple design requirements frequently applied in engineering practice for the use of evaluating system performances are introduced, including robustness, reliability, and dissipativity. Several design techniques suitable for the multi-objective variance-constrained control and filtering problems for nonlinear stochastic systems are discussed. In particular, as a special case for the multi-objective design problems, the mixed H 2 / H ∞ control and filtering problems are reviewed in great detail. Subsequently, some latest results on the variance-constrained multi-objective control and filtering problems for the nonlinear stochastic systems are summarized. Finally, conclusions are drawn, and several possible future research directions are pointed out

With respect to these network-induced phenomena, the developments on filtering and sliding mode design problems are systematically reviewed. In particular, concerning the network-induced phenomena, some recent results on the recursive filtering for time-varying nonlinear stochastic systems and sliding mode design for time-invariant nonlinear stochastic systems are given, respectively.

This paper investigates the problem of H∞ fuzzy control for a class of nonlinear singular Markovian jump systems with time delay. This class of systems under consideration is described by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models. Firstly, sufficient condition of the stochastic stabilization by the method of the augmented matrix is obtained by the state feedback. And a designed algorithm for the state feedback controller is provided to guarantee that the closed-loop system not only is regular, impulse-free, and stochastically stable but also satisfies a prescribed H∞ performance for all delays not larger than a given upper bound in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Then H∞ fuzzy control for this kind of systems is also discussed by the static output feedback. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the validity of the developed methodology
