Finite-Time ${\mathscr{H}_{\infty}}$ Asynchronous Control for Nonlinear Markov Jump Distributed Parameter Systems via Quantized Fuzzy Output-Feedback Approach

This article focuses on the asynchronous output-feedback control design for a class of nonlinear Markov jump distributed parameter systems based on a hidden Markov model. Initially, the considered systems are represented by a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model via a sector nonlinearity approach. Furthermore, asynchronous quantizers are introduced to save the limited communication resource in engineering applications. Then, based on the Lyapunov direct method and some inequality techniques, a series of novel stability criteria, which guarantee the finite-time boundedness and H

disturbance attenuation performance of the target plants, is established in the form of spatial differential linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a simulation study is provided to verify the viability of the developed approach.
