This paper addresses the finite-time event-triggered control problem for nonlinear semi-Markovian switching cyber-physical systems (S-MSCPSs) under false data injection (FDI) attacks. Compared with the traditional time-triggered mechanism, the proposed event-triggered scheme (ETS) can effectively avoid network resource waste. Considering the network-induced delay in the modeling, a closed-loop system model with time delay is established in the unified framework. By the use of a mode-dependent piecewise Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF), stochastic finite-time stability (SFTS) criteria are established for the resultant closed-loop system. Then, some solvability conditions are established for the desired finite-time controller in light of a linear matrix inequality framework. Finally, an application example of vertical take-off and landing helicopter model (VTOLHM) is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical findings.

This paper deals with the observer-based adaptive sliding mode control (OBASMC) design for nonlinear uncertain singular semi-Markov jump systems. The system satisfies the singular property and follows a stochastic semi-Markov process related to Weibull distribution. Due to the influence of sensor factors in practical systems, the state vectors are not always known. Additionally, the unavoidable measurement errors in the actual system always lead to the model uncertainties and the unknown nonlinearity. Our attention is to design the OBASMC law for such a class of complex systems. First, by the use of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, sufficient conditions are given, such that the sliding mode dynamics are stochastically admissible. Then, the OBASMC law is proposed to guarantee the reachability in a finite-time region. Finally, the practical system about dc motor model is given to verify the validity.

This paper deals with the problem of sliding mode control design for nonlinear stochastic singular semi-Markov jump systems (S-MJSs). Stochastic disturbance is first considered in studying S-MJSs with a stochastic semi-Markov process related to Weibull distribution. The specific information including the bound of nonlinearity is known for the control design. Our attention is to design sliding mode control law to attenuate the influences of uncertainty and nonlinear term. First, by the use of the Lyapunov function, a set of sufficient conditions are developed such that the closed-loop sliding mode dynamics are stochastically admissible. Then, the sliding mode control law is proposed to ensure the reachability in a finite-time region. Finally, the practical system about dc motor model is given to verify the validity of the proposed method.

This paper deals with the problem of ℒ ∞ control for positive delay systems with semi-Markov process. The system is subjected to a semi-Markov process that is time-varying, dependent on the sojourn time, and related to Weibull distribution. The main motivation for this paper is that the practical systems such as the communication network model (CNM) described by positive semi-Markov jump systems (S-MJSs) always need to consider the sudden change in the operating process. To deal with the corresponding problem, some criteria about stochastic stability and ℒ ∞ boundedness are presented for the open-loop positive S-MJSs. Further, some necessary and sufficient conditions for state-feedback controller satisfying ℒ ∞ boundedness and positivity of the resulting closed-loop system is established in standard linear programming. Finally, the practical system about the CNM is given to verify the validity of the proposed method.

This paper is concerned with event-based H∞ control for a class of networked Markov jump systems (MJSs) with missing measurements. The phenomenon of asynchronism occurs in both the controller and the actuator-failure model, which is estimated by the hidden Markov model, is taken into consideration. In addition, to reduce the burden of data transmission, a mode-dependent event-triggered mechanism (ETM) is proposed. Together with ETM, a network-induced delay is introduced. Subsequently, to guarantee that the MJS is stochastically stable, an event-based asynchronous controller is designed. Finally, to reveal the effectiveness of the proposed method, a simulation example of pulse width-modulation-driven boost converter is considered.
