Stabilization of Markov Jump Linear Systems with Input Quantization

Abstract

This paper addresses the feedback stabilization problem for Markov jump linear systems with quantized control input. A simple but powerful input controller for eliminating the input quantization in Markov jump linear systems is used. The proposed mode-dependent input controller comprises two parts: the linear part and the nonlinear part, where the linear part determines the fundamental characteristics of the systems, and the nonlinear part eliminates the effect of the input quantization. The stability is analyzed in detail for both the discrete-time and continuous-time Markov jump linear systems with input quantization. The sufficient conditions and the specific mode-dependent input controller to guarantee the stability of the systems are obtained. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the results.
