Stabilization of stochastic coupled systems with Markovian switching via feedback control based on discrete‐time state observations

Summary This study investigates the stabilization issue of stochastic coupled systems with Markovian switching via feedback control. A state feedback controller based on the discrete‐time observations is applied for the stabilization purpose. By making use of the graph theory and the Lyapunov method, we establish both Lyapunov‐ and coefficient‐type sufficient criteria to guarantee the stabilization in the sense of stability, and then, we further develop the mean‐square asymptotical stability. In particular, the upper bound of the duration between 2 consecutive state observations is well formulated. Applications to a concrete stabilization problem of stochastic coupled oscillators with Markovian switching and some numerical analyses are presented to illustrate and to demonstrate the easy verifiability, effectivity, and efficiency of our theoretical findings.
