Finite-Time H8 Control for Time-Delay Markovian Jump Systems with Partially Unknown Transition Rate via General Controllers

This paper deals with the problems of finite-time boundedness (FTB) and H-8 FTB for time-delay Markovian jump systems with a partially unknown transition rate. First of all, sufficient conditions are provided, ensuring the FTB and H-8 FTB of systems given by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A new type of partially delay-dependent controller (PDDC) is designed so that the resulting closed-loop systems are finite-time bounded and satisfy a given H-8 disturbance attenuation level. The PDDC contains both non-time-delay and time-delay states, though not happening at the same time, which is related to the probability distribution of the Bernoulli variable. Furthermore, the PDDC is extended to two other cases; one does not contain the Bernoulli variable, and the other experiences a disordering phenomenon. Finally, three numerical examples are used to show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
