Stability analysis for stochastic jump systems with time-varying delay

This paper deals with the mean-square asymptotic stability of stochastic Markovian jump systems with time-varying delay. Based on a new stochastic inequality and convex analysis property, some novel stability conditions are presented. In the derivation, the information of the time-varying delay is retained and the estimation of it by the worst-case enlargement is not involved. Some special cases of the systems under consideration are also investigated. Illustrative examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
