SMC Design for Robust Stabilization of Nonlinear Markovian Jump Singular Systems

In this technical note, the sliding-mode control (SMC) problem is investigated for T-S fuzzy-model-based nonlinear Markovian jump singular systems subject to matched/unmatched uncertainties. To accommodate the model characteristics of such a hybrid system, a novel integral-type fuzzy sliding surface is put forward by taking the singular matrix and state-dependent projection matrix into account simultaneously, which is the key contribution of the note. The designed surface contains two important features: 1) local input matrices for different subsystems in the same system mode are allowed to be different; and 2) the matched uncertainties are completely compensated, and the unmatched ones are not amplified during sliding motion. Sufficient conditions for the stochastic admissibility of the corresponding sliding-mode dynamics are presented, and a fuzzy SMC law is constructed to ensure the reaching condition despite uncertainties. The applicability and effectiveness of our approach are verified by simulations on an inverted pendulum system.
