This paper investigates robust adaptive switching controller design for Markovian jump nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics and Wiener noise. The concerned system is of strict-feedback form, and the statistics information of noise is unknown due to practical limitation. With the ordinary input-to-state stability (ISS) extended to jump case, stochastic Lyapunov stability criterion is proposed. By using backstepping technique and stochastic small-gain theorem, a switching controller is designed such that stochastic stability is ensured. Also system states will converge to an attractive region whose radius can be made as small as possible with appropriate control parameters chosen. A simulation example illustrates the validity of this method.
The establishment of modern control theory is contributed by state space analysis method which was introduced by Kalman in 1960s. This method, describing the changes of internal system states accurately through setting up the relationship of internal system variables and external system variables in time domain, has become the most important tool in system analysis. However, there remain many complex systems whose states are driven by not only continuous time but also a series of discrete events. Such systems are named hybrid systems whose dynamics vary with abrupt event occurring. Further, if the occurring of these events is governed by a Markov chain, the hybrid systems are called Markovian jump systems. As one branch of modern control theory, the study of Markovian jump systems has aroused lots of attention with fruitful results achieved for linear case, for example, stability analysis [
The difficulties may result from several aspects for the study of Markovian jump nonlinear systems (MJNSs). First of all, controller design largely relies on the specific model of systems, and it is almost impossible to find out one general controller which can stabilize all nonlinear systems despite of their forms. Secondly Markovian jump systems are applied to model systems suffering sudden changes of working environment or system dynamics. For this reason, practical jump systems are usually accompanied by uncertainties, and it is hard to describe these uncertainties with precise mathematical model. Finally, noise disturbance is an important factor to be considered. More often that not, the statistics information of noise is unknown when taking into account the complexity of working environment. Among the achievements of MJNSs, the format of nonlinear systems should be firstly taken into account. As one specific model, the nonlinear system of strict-feedback form is well studied due to its powerful modelling ability of many practical systems, for example, power converter [
Motivated by this, this paper focuses on robust adaptive controller design for a class of MJNSs with uncertainties and Wiener noise. Compared with the existing result in [

Much research work has been performed towards the study of nonlinear system by using small-gain theorem [
In this paper, the robust adaptive switching controller design for a class of Markovian jump nonlinear system is studied. Such MJNSs, suffering from unmodeled dynamics and noise of unknown covariance, are of the strict feedback form. With the extension of input-to-state stability (ISpS) to jump case as well as the small-gain theorem, stochastic Lyapunov stability criterion is put forward. By using backstepping technique, a switching controller is designed which ensures the jump nonlinear system to be jump ISpS in probability. Moreover the upper bound of uncertainties can be estimated, and system output will converge to an attractive region around the equilibrium point, whose radius can be made as small as possible with appropriate control parameters chosen. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed design.
