Robust finite-time control for uncertain discrete jump systems with time delay
Introduction
Stochastic systems have become an important research topic since it has been well recognized that the class of dynamic systems have variable structures subject to stochastic abrupt changes, which may result from abrupt phenomena such as stochastic failures and repairs of the components, changes in the interconnections of subsystems, sudden environment changes, and so on. Meanwhile, Markovian jump systems, which are referred to as one special family of hybrid systems and stochastic systems and modeled by a set of subsystems with transitions among the models determined by a Markov chain taking values in a finite set, have received considerable attention in the control community. In the last few decades, many results and a large variety of control problems have been widely studied, such as stochastic Lyapunov stability [1], [2], [3], optimal control [4], [5], robust control [6], [7], control [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], filtering design [13], [14], [15], [16], guaranteed cost control [17], sliding mode control [18], [19] and tracking control [20]. For more results on this issue, the readers to refer [21], [22] and the references therein.
It is well known that the classical Lyapunov theory, just as was mentioned above, deals mainly with the state convergence property of the systems in infinite time interval. Often Lyapunov stability is enough for practical applications, but there are some cases where large values of the state are not acceptable in the presence of saturations [23], [24], [25]. To tackle this transient performance of control dynamics, some early results on finite-time stability (FTS) or short-time stability were found in the references [26], [27], [28], [29]. In addition, it is necessary to point out that finite-time stability and Lyapunov asymptotic stability are independent concepts: a system could be FTS but not Lyapunov asymptotically stable, and a Lyapunov asymptotical stable system may not be FTS since the transient of a system response may exceed the bound [23]. Based on Lyapunov function approach or linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques, varieties of results on finite-time stability, finite-time boundedness and finite-time stabilization were obtained for continuous- or discrete-time systems including linear systems [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], nonlinear systems [35], neural networks systems [36], [37], switching systems [38], [39] and singular systems [40], [41]. For more details of the literature related to finite-time stability, finite-time boundedness and finite-time control, the reader is referred to [42], [43], [44], [45], [46] and the references therein. It is worth mentioned that, in many practical applications, discrete-time Markovian jump time-delay systems become more important than their continuous-time counterparts when implementing the control laws in a digital way. However, to date and to the best of our knowledge, the problem of finite-time control of uncertain discrete-time Markovian time-delay systems has not been investigated and it motivates the main purpose of our study.
As we know, control problem of time-delay systems has been a topic of recurring interest over the past decades since time delays are often the main causes for instability and performance deterioration of systems and encountered in many practical systems such as chemical processes, communication networks, economics and mechanics [47], [48], [49]. Due to the presence of time delay, there are latest research methods to reduce the conservativeness in stabilization and performance index analysis of time-delay systems, such as slack matrix method, delay-divisioning method and input–output method, see the references [50], [51], [52], [53]. In this paper, we concentrate on the robust finite-time control problem for a family of discrete-time Markovian jump time-delay systems with parametric uncertainties and time-varying norm-bounded disturbance. Our results are totally different from those previous results, although some studies on robust finite-time stabilization for discrete-time systems have been investigated and the results mainly focused on the systems without time delay, see the references [32], [42], [54], [55]. The main contribution of this paper is to design a stochastic finite-time controller which ensures stochastic finite-time boundedness of the uncertain discrete-time Markovian jump time-delay system and a prescribed performance level can be achieved in the given finite-time interval. Sufficient criteria are presented for the solvability of the problem, which can be handled by a feasibility problem in the form of LMIs with a fixed parameter. Numerical examples demonstrate the validity of the proposed methods.
The structure of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 is devoted to problem statement and preliminaries. The results on the results of stochastic finite-time control are provided for a class of uncertain discrete-time Markovian jump systems with time delay in Section 3. Section 4 presents numerical examples to demonstrate the validity of the proposed methodology. The conclusions are drawn in Section 5.

2020, Journal of the Franklin InstituteCitation Excerpt :Given an initial bound, the system state stays in the preset threshold in the fixed finite-time interval, which is defined as the finite-time stability [39]. As a consequence, the finite-time control problem has been explored by many scholars in many years, such as finite-time control synthesis for linear systems in discrete-time case [40,41], robust finite-time control synthesis for uncertain systems [42–44], finite-time stabilization of high-order stochastic nonlinear systems [45], finite-time stochastic control synthesis for stochastic/switched systems [46–54], and so on. It is worth to be noticed that the finite-time stability is independent of the classical Lyapunov asymptotic stability [40,50].
