“…Remark 13 In practice, due to the restriction of measurement conditions, when the system works in the th subsystem, if the transition rate from mode at time to mode at time is not measured, then the unknown element can be described by ‘ ’. In simulation, according to the chosen method of [14, 19, 25, 42–44], the generally uncertain transition rate matrices in the form of (43) are chosen stochastically which meet the requirements. Remark 14 Compared with the existing papers in [44, 45], using the fixed connection weighting matrices, we cannot get . Therefore, to some extent, using the free connection weighting matrices can reduce some conservativeness. Remark 15 Compared with the existing work in [22–25], the time delay is not considered, which shows that our results are new. Remark 16 If Lyapunov function is chosen in the form of (38), we cannot get , which means that Lyapunov function (14) may reduce some conservativeness. Remark 17 If the transition rate matrices are uncertain bounded as follows: …”
