Abstract

This paper investigates the filtering problem of discrete singular Markov jump systems (SMJSs) with mode-dependent time delay based on T-S fuzzy model. First, by Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, a delay-dependent sufficient condition on -disturbance attenuation is presented, in which both stability and prescribed performance are required to be achieved for the filtering-error systems. Then, based on the condition, the delay-dependent filter design scheme for SMJSs with mode-dependent time delay based on T-S fuzzy model is developed in term of linear matrix inequality (LMI). Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the result.

1. Introduction

Recently, some efforts on filtering and control problem have been put on the Markov jump linear systems with Markovian jump time delays [17]. For example, [1] dealt with the robust stabilizability and disturbance attenuation for a class of uncertain descriptor time-delay systems with jumping parameters. The transition of the jumping parameters in the systems is governed by a finite state Markov process. [2] addressed the problems of delay-dependent robust control and filtering for Markovian jump linear systems with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties and time-varying delays. The robust filtering problem for mode-dependent time-delay discrete Markov jump singular systems with parameter uncertainties is discussed in [3]. The energy-to-peak filtering problem of Markov jump systems with interval time-varying delay is investigated in [4]. The - fuzzy control problem was considered for nonlinear stochastic Markov jump systems with neutral time-delays in [5].

In practical applications, to research the nonlinear time-delay system, the scholars considered the T-S fuzzy time-delay model which is a kind of effective representation, and many analysis and synthesis methods for T-S fuzzy time-delay systems have been developed over the past years [817]. So, many scholars extended this model to Markov jump systems with time delays [1828]. Reference [18] was concerned with an control for a class of T-S fuzzy Markov jump system under unreliable communication links. Reference [19] concerned with the adaptive synchronization for T-S fuzzy neural networks with stochastic noises and Markovian jumping parameters. Reference [20] was concerned with the stability and stabilization problems for a class of nonlinear systems with Markovian jump parameters. The T-S fuzzy model was employed to represent the Markovian jump nonlinear systems with partly unknown transition probabilities. Reference [21] dealt with the delay-dependent asymptotic stability analysis problem for a class of fuzzy bidirectional associative memory neural networks with time-varying interval delays and Markovian jumping parameters by T-S fuzzy model. In [22], the asymptotic stability of fuzzy Markovian jumping genetic regulatory networks with time-varying delays by delay decomposition approach was investigated.

For singular systems, since the regularity, causality, and stability are needed to be considered, this class of systems is more complicated and difficult compared with standard state space systems. The strict conditions of linear matrix inequalities (LMI) are not easy to obtain. Many references [2931] discussed the control problems for SMJSs.

However, to the best of our knowledge, the filtering problem of discrete SMJSs with mode-dependent time delay based on T-S fuzzy model has not been addressed, which is the focus of this paper.

This paper is organized as follows: In Section 2, the filter for SMJSs with mode-dependent time delay based on T-S fuzzy model is formulated. In Section 3 we give the sufficient condition to assure asymptotic stability and the noise-attenuation level bound for the SMJSs filtering-error systems. Based on the condition in Section 3, we present a stable fuzzy filter in term of LMIs. Section 4 provides illustrative examples to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Conclusions are given in Section 5.

Notations. The notations used throughout this paper are fairly standard. The superscript “” stands for matrix transpose, and the notation   () means that matrix is real symmetric and positive (or being positive semi-definite). and are used to denote appropriate dimensions identity matrix and zero matrix, respectively. The notation in a symmetric always denotes the symmetric block in the matrix. The parameter denotes a block-diagonal matrix. Matrices, if not explicitly stated, are assumed to have compatible dimensions for algebraic operations.

5. Conclusion

The problem on filter design has been addressed for T-S fuzzy-model-based SMJSs. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, a sufficient condition for the existence of filter, which stabilizes the T-S fuzzy-model-based filtering-error systems and guarantees a prescribed level on disturbance attenuation, has been obtained in terms of LMI form. The numerical example has shown the effectiveness of the proposed method. In addition, the - filtering problems for T-S fuzzy delayed systems are also challenging, which could be our further work.
