Robust finite-time stabilization for positive delayed semi-Markovian switching systems

Robust finite-time stabilization is discussed for positive semi-Markovian switching systems (S-MSSs), in which semi-Markovian process, time-varying delay, external disturbance, and transient performance in finite-time level are all considered in a unified framework. In the system under consideration, finite-time problem can describe transient performance of practical control process. Firstly, some finite-time boundedness and L(1 )finite-time boundedness criteria for positive delayed S-MSSs are proposed by constructing the stochastic semi-Markovian Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional with mode-dependent integral term. Then, a developed L-1 finite-time feedback controller design method is presented to reduce some constraints of input matrices, which guarantees the resulting closed-loop system achieves positivity, finite-time boundedness, and has a prescribed L(1 )noise attenuation performance index in a novel standard linear programming. Finally, a practical example is illustrated to validate the proposed results by applying a virus mutation treatment model. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
