In this article, the problem of sampled-data control is considered for fuzzy Markovian jump systems (FMJSs) with actuator saturation. Firstly, the mode-dependent lyapunov functional is constructed, which consists of a two-sided closed-loop function. On the basis of this function, stochastically stable criteria are presented in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Then, based on the stochastically stable criteria, mode-dependent sampled-data controllers are designed for FMJSs. As a corollary, stable criteria and controller design are also proposed for the general aperiodic sampled-data linear system with actuator saturation. The improved LMI-based optimization conditions are obtained to estimate the region of attraction. Finally, numerical examples are provided to show the significant improvement of the presented method.
