A resource-aware sliding mode control approach for Markov jump systems.

The problem of sliding mode control (SMC) for a class of Markov jump systems (MJSs) is addressed in this paper based on a resource-aware triggering mechanism which realizes computational resources saving and disturbance attenuation simultaneously. By introducing the self-triggered policy, the next execution time is pre-computed for sampling, updating and executing by relying on the latest sampled information. Then, the switching surface and the related dynamics of the original MJSs are obtained by means of a self-triggered sampling scheme. To guarantee both the system stability and the desired disturbance attenuation performance, sufficient conditions are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Moreover, to ensure the time finiteness of the predefined switching surface reachability and satisfy the desirable sliding motion performance, an SMC law is proposed. The validity and superiority of the developed scheme are demonstrated via a simulation example.
