Robust control synthesis for discrete-time uncertain semi-Markov jump systems

摘要

This paper studies the control synthesis for uncertain semi-Markov jump systems in a discrete-time domain subjected to external disturbance. The switching between modes is determined by a function of the transition probability and the sojourn-time distribution between two neighbouring modes. Based on the sigma-error mean square stability criterion, time-varying controllers are designed to stabilise the system. By constructing a holding time dependent Lyapunov function, time-varying state-feedback controllers are obtained that meet a set of sufficient conditions in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Two examples, including a DC motor system, are presented to show the validity of the proposed control scheme.
