On sliding mode control of single input Markovian jump systems

In this paper, an equivalent control based sliding mode control is proposed for single input linear Markovian jump systems which guarantees the asymptotical stability. Furthermore, by using the stochastic system theory, a multi-step state transition conditional probability function is introduced for the continuous Markovian process, which is used to define the reaching and sliding probabilities. Furthermore, the formulas for calculating reaching and sliding probabilities are derived for situations where the control force may not be strong enough to ensure the fully asymptotical stability. Extensive simulations are conducted to validate the theoretical results and show the relationship between the control force and reaching and sliding probabilities.
