I. Introduction
Over the past several decades, Markovian jump systems have been successfully applied in many areas of science and engineering such as manufacturing systems, aircraft control, target tracking, robotics, solar receiver control, economic systems and many important results have been proposed in [1]–[5]. On the other hand, owing to the rapid development in digital circuits, powerful micro controllers and digital computers, the importance of sampled-data control technique has been increasing quickly in the research area. In sampled-data systems, the discrete-time controller can also be modeled as a continuous-time controller with time-varying delay. Much attention has been devoted to the study of sampled-data control systems in the past few decades and consequently many important results have been reported in [6]–[8].
