Robust Control of Jump Linear Stochastic Systems: Applications to Sampled-Data Control(497 Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences)

This monograph concentrates on the theory of robust control of linear impulsive stochastic systems and stochastic systems with jumps. It discusses theoretical points concerned with impulsive stochastic systems including optimal control, robust stabilization, and H2- and Hinfinity-type results. Considering the major role played by the impulsive Lyapunov and impulsive Riccati equations in these problems, the book presents a thorough treatment of these equations in a general framework. It also presents various applications to sampled-data control. Robust Control of Jump Linear Stochastic Systems is a self-contained and clearly structured presentation of up-to-date research in this area, relevant to researchers in control theory and to non-specialists who are interested in the theory of robust control of linear impulsive stochastic systems. Theoretical and applied mathematicians, research engineers, and graduate students in the aforementioned fields will also find value in this book.
