An LMI-based variable structure control for a class of uncertain singular Markov switched systems

An H-infinifty variable structure control is presented for singular Markov switched systems with mismatched norm-bounded uncertainties and mismatched norm-bounded external disturbances. It is shown that the sliding mode dynamics on the given switching surface is regular, impulse-free, and stochastically stable and satisfies H-infinity performance. A variable structure controller is designed to guarantee that the system trajectory converges to the linear switching surface in some finite time. Finally, a numerical example is solved to show the effectiveness and validness of the theoretical results.
