Finite-time stabilization of stochastic systems with partially known transition probabilities

Abstract

In this paper, the problem of finite-time stabilization for a class of uncertain Markov jump systems with partially known transition probabilities is investigated. The main aim of this paper is to derive the finite-time stabilization criteria for the underlying systems when the transition probabilities are partially known and to design a state feedback stabilizing controller such that the trajectories of the system stay within a given bound in a fixed time interval. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the desired controller are established with the linear matrix inequalities framework. A numerical example is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed theoretic results.
