Specifically, the stochastic bilinear jump system under study involves unknown state time-delay, parameter uncertainties, and unknown nonlinear deterministic disturbances. The jumping parameters considered here form a continuous-time discrete-state homogeneous Markov process. The whole system may be regarded as a stochastic bilinear hybrid system that includes both time-evolving and event-driven mechanisms. Our attention is focused on the design of a robust state-feedback controller such that, for all admissible uncertainties as well as nonlinear disturbances, the closed-loop system is stochastically exponentially stable in the mean square, independent of the time delay. Sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the existence of desired robust controllers, which are given in terms of the solutions to a set of either linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), or coupled quadratic matrix inequalities. The developed theory is illustrated by numerical simulatio

The mixed mode-dependent time-delays consist of both discrete and distributed delays. We aim to design a memoryless state feedback controller such that the closed-loop system is stochastically exponentially stable in the mean square sense. First, by introducing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional that accounts for the mode-dependent mixed delays, stochastic analysis is conducted in order to derive a criterion for the exponential stabilizability problem. Then, a variation of such a criterion is developed to facilitate the controller design by using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. Finally, it is shown that the desired state feedback controller can be characterized explicitly in terms of the solution to a set of LMIs. Numerical simulation is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.This work was supported in part by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the U.K. under Grant GR/S27658/01, the Royal Society of the U.K., the National 973 Program of China under Grant 2009CB320600, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany.

Stabilization of markovian systems via probability rate synthesis and output feedback

This technical note is concerned with the stabilization problem of Markovian jump linear systems via designing switching probability rate matrices and static output-feedback gains. A novel necessary and sufficient condition is established to characterize the switching probability rate matrices that guarantee the mean square stability of Markovian jump linear systems. Based on this, a necessary and sufficient condition is provided for the existence of desired controller gains and probability rate matrices. Extensions to the polytopic uncertain case are also provided. All the conditions are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities with some equality constraints, which can be solved by two modified cone complementarity linearization algorithms. Examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2010 IEEE.published_or_final_versio

Robust stabilization of hybrid uncertain stochastic systems by discrete-time feedback control

This paper aims to stabilize hybrid stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with norm bounded uncertainties by feedback controls based on the discrete-time observations of both state and mode. The control structure appears only in the drift part (the deterministic part) of an SDE and the controlled system will be robustly exponentially stable in mean-square. Our stabilization criteria are in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) whence the feedback controls can be designed more easily in practice. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results

Necessary and sufficient conditions for analysis and synthesis of markov jump linear systems with incomplete transition descriptions

This technical note is concerned with exploring a new approach for the analysis and synthesis for Markov jump linear systems with incomplete transition descriptions. In the study, not all the elements of the transition rate matrices (TRMs) in continuous-time domain, or transition probability matrices (TPMs) in discrete-time domain are assumed to be known. By fully considering the properties of the TRMs and TPMs, and the convexity of the uncertain domains, necessary and sufficient criteria of stability and stabilization are obtained in both continuous and discrete time. Numerical examples are used to illustrate the results. © 2006 IEEE.published_or_final_versio

In this note, the T-S fuzzy model approach is exploited to establish stability criteria for a class of nonlinear stochastic systems with time delay. Sufficient conditions are derived in the format of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), such that for all admissible parameter uncertainties, the overall fuzzy system is stochastically exponentially stable in the mean square, independent of the time delay. Therefore, with the numerically attractive Matlab LMI toolbox, the robust stability of the uncertain stochastic fuzzy systems with time delays can be easily checked

Further results on exponential estimates of markovian jump systems with mode-dependent time-varying delays

This technical note studies the problem of exponential estimates for Markovian jump systems with mode-dependent interval time-varying delays. A novel LyapunovKrasovskii functional (LKF) is constructed with the idea of delay partitioning, and a less conservative exponential estimate criterion is obtained based on the new LKF. Illustrative examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed results. © 2010 IEEE.published_or_final_versio

This paper addresses the problem of H∞ control for a class of uncertain stochastic systems with Markovian switching and time-varying delays. The system under consideration is subject to time-varying norm-bounded parameter uncertainties and an unknown nonlinear function in the state. An integral sliding surface corresponding to every mode is first constructed, and the given sliding mode controller concerning the transition rates of modes can deal with the effect of Markovian switching. The synthesized sliding mode control law ensures the reachability of the sliding surface for corresponding subsystems and the global stochastic stability of the sliding mode dynamics. A simulation example is presented to illustrate the proposed method

Almost sure exponential stabilisation of stochastic systems by state-feedback control

So far, a major part of the literature on the stabilisation issues of stochastic systems has been dedicated to mean square stability. This paper develops a new class of criteria for designing a controller to stabilise a stochastic system almost surely which is unable to be stabilised in mean-square sense. The results are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which are easy to be checked in practice by using MATLAB Toolbox. Moreover, the control structure in this paper appears not only in the drift part but also in the diusion part of the underlying stochastic system
