Asynchronous sampled-data dynamic output feedback control for Markovian jump neural networks via a double-mode-dependent Lyapunov functional

This paper discusses the asynchronous switching problem of Markovian jump neural networks (MJNNs) with mode-dependent time delays. Due to the factors such as communication induced phenomena or the incomplete availability of system modes, asynchronous switching between the system mode and the controller mode is a common phenomenon. Therefore considering the mode mismatch phenomenon and the incomplete measurement of system state, we propose an asynchronous dynamic output feedback control (DOFC) law. Unlike the traditional DOFC, the sampled-data strategy is introduced into DOFC to alleviate the burden of the communication network. In light of the sampled-data DOFC, an augmented dynamic system is modeled. To fully employ the mode information of asynchronous switching and to relax the conservativeness of the results, a double-mode-dependent Lyapunov functional is constructed, which depends both on the system modes and the DOFC modes. Then, a less conservative stability condition is obtained to guarantee mean-square asymptotic stability (MSAS) of the augmented system. On the basis of the stability condition, a design algorithm is attained to solve the gain matrices of the asynchronous DOFC. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the validity and superiority of the developed results.
