ABSTRACT

This paper considers the problems of stochastic stability analysis and distributed output-feedback controllers design for Markovian jump systems interconnected over an undirected graph with state time-varying delay. Specifically, a sufficient condition for the well-posedness, stochastic stability and contractiveness of the resultant closed-loop system is first developed in the form of non-linear matrix inequalities. Then, to avoid the difficulty of solving non-linear matrix inequalities, the sufficient condition is relaxed to an equivalent one in terms of coupling linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which provides an effective way to confirm the existence of a distributed output-feedback controller inheriting the structure of the given plant. Furthermore, a constructive algorithm is given for the design of such a distributed output-feedback controller to achieve the well-posedness, stochastic stability as well as the contractiveness of the corresponding closed-loop system. Finally, numerical simulations are given to illustrate the validity of the proposed method.
