Reliable sliding mode finite‐time control for discrete‐time singular Markovian jump systems with sensor fault and randomly occurring nonlinearities

Summary This paper focuses on the problem of finite‐time control for one family of discrete‐time uncertain singular Markovian jump systems with sensor fault and randomly occurring nonlinearities through a sliding mode approach. The failure of sensor is described as a general and practical continuous fault model. Nonlinear disturbance satisfies the Lipschitz condition and occurs in a probabilistic way. Firstly, based on the state estimator, the discrete‐time close‐loop error system can be constructed and sufficient criteria are provided to guarantee the augment system is sliding mode finite‐time boundedness and sliding mode finite‐time boundedness. The sliding mode control law is synthesized to guarantee the reachability of the sliding surface in a short time interval, and the gain matrices of state feedback controller and state estimator are achieved by solving a feasibility problem in terms of linear matrix inequalities through a decoupling technique. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
