Non-fragile control of positive Markovian jump systems

This paper investigates the non-fragile control for positive Markovian jump systems both in continuous-time and discrete-time cases with actuator uncertainty. It is assumed that the coefficient matrices of the non-fragile controller is unknown and bounded. The state-feedback controller gain consists of nominal controller gain and gain perturbation. First, a set of state-feedback controllers for the considered system are designed by using a stochastic co-positive Lyapunov function integrated with linear programming approach. Under the designed controllers, the resulting closed-loop systems are positive and stochastically stable. Then, the proposed controller design approach is extended to discrete-time systems. Through comparisons, it is shown that existing results are special cases of the presented ones in the paper. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design.
