Advanced Robust Control Theory for Markovian Jump Systems under General Switching Policies

Abstract

This thesis is concerned with the advanced robust control theory for Markovian jump systems under general switching policies. The central motivation of this thesis is to significantly improve control performance and to overcome the limitations of conventional Markovian jump systems in practical systems under consideration of external disturbance, uncertain dynamics, undesired faults, and limited range of network communication. To achieve that philosophy, the proposed algorithms are designed on the base of general switching policies rather than conventional Markovian jump systems with constant jumping properties and implements them into two main research orientation as nonhomogeneous Markovian jump systems, and Semi-Markovian jump systems.
