Stability of Time-Varying Hybrid Stochastic Delayed Systems With Application to Aperiodically Intermittent Stabilization

This article is concerned with the stability analysis of time-varying hybrid stochastic delayed systems (HSDSs), also known as stochastic delayed systems with Markovian switching. Several easy-to-check and less conservative Lyapunov-based sufficient criteria are derived for ensuring the stability of studied systems, where the upper bound estimation for the diffusion operator of the Lyapunov function is time-varying, piecewise continuous, and indefinite. It should be stressed that our results can be directly used to analyze the stabilization of HSDSs via aperiodically intermittent control (AIC). Compared with the existing results about AIC, the restrictions on the bound of each control/rest width and the maximum proportion of rest width in each control period are removed. Thus, the conservativeness is reduced. Finally, two examples, together with their numerical simulations, are provided to demonstrate the theoretical results.
