Asynchronous Output Feedback Control of Hidden Semi-Markov Jump Systems With Random Mode-Dependent Delays

This article is concerned with the problem of output feedback control for a class of continuous-time hidden semi-Markov jump systems with time delays. Due to the limitations of the actual environment, system modes are usually undetectable, which are called hidden modes. The controller modes are described as observable modes. Emission probabilities are used to establish the relationship between abovementioned two concepts. The jump parameters are governed by the hidden semi-Markov process, which can better describe the asynchronous information between the controller modes and the system modes. Besides, time delays are considered to be time-varying and dependent on the hidden modes. By employing some mathematical transformation and constructing a novel Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, some new parameter-dependent sufficient stabilization conditions can be obtained by designing an observed-mode-dependent static output-feedback controller. Finally, a practical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness and merits of the proposed methods.
