Parameter-dependent sliding mode control for Markovian jump systems within finite-time interval: handling randomly occurring actuator faults

Abstract

In this article, the finite-time sliding mode control problem is studied for the Markovian jump systems. The uncertainties and actuator faults are randomly occurring and varying, which are simultaneously considered in the controlled systems. In order to characterise the stochastic phenomenon, two independent exponentials distributed random variables are introduced. To implement finite-time control performance, a suitable sliding mode controller is developed, which forces the trajectories of the system onto the specified sliding surface in a given finite-time (possibly short) interval. Besides, sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the stochastic finite-time boundedness within the entire finite-time interval, including the reaching and the sliding motion phases. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed control strategy.
