Hidden Markov model–based asynchronous fault-tolerant control for mode-dependent time-delayed Markovian jump systems with uncertain conditional probability

Abstract

In control engineering, time-delayed systems are quite common. Modern industrial systems often involve delays due to complicated network environments, the accuracy of sensors and actuators, or signal processing. Speaking of Markovian jump systems, such systems undergo discrete mode changes caused by a Markov process. Hence, it is reasonable to consider the mode-dependent time delays. In this paper, the asynchronous fault-tolerant controller is developed for mode-dependent time-delayed Markovian jump systems. First, the estimations of states and actuator fault are provided by designing an intermediate observer. Then, based on these estimations, the asynchronous fault-tolerant controller is designed by virtue of the hidden Markov process with uncertain conditional probability. Finally, the existence conditions of both the designed observer and fault-tolerant controller are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. In the meantime, a numerical example is illustrated to validate the effectiveness and potential of the proposed method.
