Asynchronous fault-tolerant control for stochastic jumping singularly perturbed systems: An H∞ sliding mode control scheme

This work studies the asynchronous fault-tolerant sliding mode control for uncertain stochastic jumping systems subject to singular perturbations, in which the controller is assumed to be able to estimate the hidden system mode through a detector with a conditional probability via the hidden-Markov model. Additionally, in consideration of avoiding the system performance decreases generated by the actuator degradation, the synthesized fault-tolerant sliding mode control scheme is first employed. Through applying a common singularly perturbed parameter based sliding surface, this paper attempts to construct a proper asynchronous sliding mode control law that can ensure not only the reachability but also the closed-loop system is stable with an expected H-infinity performance index. By virtue of the mode-dependent Lyapunov function and the hidden-Markov model approach, sufficient conditions are acquired. Besides, solving linear matrix inequalities for obtaining the control gain matrices are given through the convex optimization theory. Eventually, the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed asynchronous fault-tolerant sliding mode control scheme are verified by a numerical example. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
