ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the asynchronous SMC problem is investigated for networked Markovian jump Lur'e systems, in which the information of system modes is unavailable to the sliding mode controller but could be estimated by a mode detector via a hidden Markov model. In order to mitigate the burden of data communication, an event-triggered protocol is proposed to determine whether the system state should be released to the controller at certain time-point according to a specific triggering condition. By constructing a novel common sliding surface, this chapter designs an event-triggered asynchronous SMC law, which just depends on the hidden mode information. A combination of the stochastic Lur'e-type Lyapunov functional and the hidden Markov model approach is exploited to establish the sufficient conditions of the mean square stability with a prescribed H∞ performance and the reachability of a sliding region around the specified sliding surface. Moreover, the solving algorithm for the control gain matrices is given via a convex optimization problem. Finally, an example from the DC Motor device system is provided.
