Passivity analysis and passification of Markovian jump systems

This paper is concerned with the problems of delay-dependent robust passivity analysis and robust passification for uncertain Markovian jump linear systems (MJLSs) with time-varying delay. The parameter uncertainties are time varying but norm bounded. For the robust passivity problem, the objective is to seek conditions such that the closed-loop system under the state-feedback controller with given gains is passive, irrespective of all admissible parameter uncertainties. For the robust passification problem, desired passification controllers will be designed which guarantee that the closed-loop MJLS is passive. By constructing a proper stochastic Lyapunov-Krasovskii function and employing the free-weighting matrix technique, delay-dependent passivity/passification performance conditions are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approaches is demonstrated by a numerical example.
