Abstract

The stochastic stabilization problem of Markovian jump systems subject to both partial unknown transition probabilities and actuator saturation is considered in this paper. Different from the previous results where complete knowledge on the transition probabilities is available, a new controller synthesis scheme is proposed as well as an estimate of the domain of attraction in mean square sense. A sufficient condition is first established to guarantee the stochastic stability of the closed-loop system. An optimization problem with LMI constraints is then formulated to determine the largest contractively invariant set in mean square sense. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of our method.
