This paper investigates the quantized sliding mode control of Markov jump systems with time-varying delay. A dynamical adjustment law is explored to quantize the system output. By constructing an observer-based integral sliding surface, a sliding mode controller is designed to take over the dynamical motion of state estimation and ensure the reachability of sliding surface. A new scaling manner is developed to build the bound between the system output and quantized error. With the help of separation strategies for controller synthesis and general transition probabilities and a lower bound theorem for nonlinear integral terms, a new synthesis method to ensure the required stability and meet the required ∞ performance is proposed in the form of linear matrix inequalities. The validity of the proposed control method is illustrated by a numerical example.

INTRODUCTIONRecently, much attention has been devoted to the field of Markov jump systems (MJSs). This kind of system is extensively applied in many practical fields, such as flight control systems, network control systems, and manufacturing systems. Transition probabilities (TPs), which illustrate the possibility of switching among system modes, have direct impact on system behavior. By now, most of the existing results are assumed that they are known. However, this assumption is hard to be realized due to challenges like accuracy of measuring methods and environment conditions. 1 Hence, from the perspective of engineering applications, MJSs with general TPs are investigated in other works. [2][3][4][5][6] On the other hand, in physical processes, time delay is unavoidable and should be taken into account in the stage of controller design. 7 As a consequence, a dynamic output feedback control of MJSs with time delay is considered in the work of Boukas et al. 8 Xu et al 9 obtain a stochastic stability with the prescribed ∞ performance via a bounded real lemma and slack matrix variables. An input-output model by substituting a feedback interconnection formulation for the time-delayed filtering error MJSs is proposed in the work of Wei et al. 10 Zhang et al 11 use a mode-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional that includes tripe integrals term to provide the stability conditions. This result is further extended in the work of Luan et al, 12 which studies the finite-time ∞ control subject to the average dwell-time constraint for discrete case.Sliding mode control (SMC) is an effective measurement to deal with system uncertainties. This technique has been proved to have features such as fast response and insensitive to variations in internal and external disturbances. [13][14][15] Numerous achievements about SMC for stochastic system have been published, especially for MJSs; see other works [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] 226
