Exponential Passification of Markovian Jump Nonlinear Systems with Partially Known Transition Rates by Mengzhuo Luo, Shouming Zhong

“…In the deterministic model, the time-varying delay is in a given range and the uncertainties are assumed to be norm bounded. With constructing appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) combining with Jensen’s inequality and the free-weighting matrix method, delay-dependent exponential passification conditions are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). …”
