This paper provides a delay-dependent criterion for a class of singular stochastic hybrid systems with mode-dependent time-varying delay. In order to reduce conservatism, a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is constructed by decomposing the delay interval into multiple subintervals. Based on the new functional, a stability criterion is derived in terms of strict linear matrix inequality (LMI), which guarantees that the considered system is regular, impulse-free, and mean-square exponentially stable. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed method. 1. Introduction Over the past years, a lot of attention has been devoted to singular systems, which are also referred to as descriptor systems, generalized state-space systems, differentialalgebraic systems, or semistate systems, because they can better describe physical systems than regular ones. Since the introduction of the first model for a jump system by Krasovskii and Lidskiı̆ [1], the Markovian jump systems have become more popular in the area of control and operation research due to the fact that they are more powerful and appropriate to model varieties of systems mainly those with abrupt changes in their structure [2–6]. Consequently, singular hybrid systems or say singular systems with Markovian switching have been extensively studied in recent years. For more details on this class of systems, we refer the readers to see [7–10] and the references therein. As is well known, environmental noise exists and cannot be neglected in many dynamical systems [11]. The systems with noise are called stochastic system. Up to date, some results have been reported on stochastic systems with Markovian switching [12–16]. It should be pointed out that the problems of stability and control for singular stochastic systems with Markovian switching or say singular stochastic hybrid systems are more complicated than that for regular ones, because the singular systems usually have three types of modes, namely, finite-dynamic modes, impulsive modes, and nondynamic modes, while the latter two do not appear in state-space systems. That is the reason why only a few results have been reported on this class of systems in the literature. In [17], the stochastic stability and stochastic stabilization for a class of nonlinear singular stochastic hybrid systems were investigated. The problem of sliding mode control for singular stochastic hybrid systems was investigated in [18]. In [19], under an assumption, authors study the problem of mean-square stability for singular stochastic systems with Markovian switching. However, no time delay was considered in [17–19], which often causes instability and poor performance of the systems [20]. In addition, the stability conditions in [17–19] are difficult to calculate since the equality constraints are used, which are often fragile and usually not met perfectly. To the author’s best knowledge, the problem of delay-dependent mean-square exponential stability for singular stochastic hybrid systems with modedependent time-varying delay has not been fully investigated, which remains important and challenging. This paper will focus on the derivation of delaydependent mean-square exponential stability for a class of singular stochastic hybrid systems with mode-dependent time-varying delay. Inspired by the discretized Lyapunov functional method proposed by Gu [21], a new LyapunovKrasovskii functional is constructed to reduce conservatism. Based on the functional, a delay-dependent stability criterion is proposed, which guarantees that the system is regular, 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis impulse-free, and mean-square exponentially stable. The criterion is formulated in terms of strict LMI, which can be easily solved by standard software. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed method. proposed method can also be easily extended to systems with multiple and distributed delays. The following definition and lemma will be used. Notation. R𝑛 denotes the 𝑛-dimensional Euclidean space; R𝑚×𝑛 is the set of all 𝑚 × 𝑛 real matrices. 𝐶𝑛,𝑑2 = 𝐶([−𝑑2 , 0], R𝑛 ) denotes the Banach space of continuous vector functions mapping the interval [−𝑑2 , 0] into R𝑛 with norm ‖𝜑(𝑡)‖𝑑2 = sup−𝑑2≤𝑠≤0 ‖𝜑(𝑠)‖. (Ω, F, P) is a probability space, Ω is the sample space, F is the 𝜎-algebra of subsets of the sample space, and P is the probability measure on F. E{⋅} denotes the expectation operator with respect to some probability measure P. The superscript “∗” denotes the term that is induced by symmetry. Definition 2 (see [22]). (1) System (2) is said to be regular and impulse-free for any time delay 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡) satisfying (3), if the pairs (𝐸, 𝐴 𝑖 ) and (𝐸, 𝐴 𝑖 +𝐴 𝑑𝑖 ) are regular and impulse-free for each 𝑖 ∈ S. (2) System (2) is said to be mean-square exponentially stable, if there exist scalars 𝛼 > 0 and 𝛽 > 0 such that 𝐸{‖𝑥(𝑡)‖2 } ≤ 𝛼𝑒−𝛽𝑡 ‖𝜙(𝑡)‖2𝑑2 , 𝑡 > 0. (3) System (2) is said to be mean-square exponentially admissible, if it is regular, impulse-free, and mean-square exponentially stable. Lemma 3 (see [23]). Suppose that a positive continuous function 𝑓(𝑡) satisfies 2. Problem Formulation and Preliminaries Let {𝑟𝑡 , 𝑡 ≥ 0} be a continuous-time Markov process with a right continuous trajectory taking values in a finite set S = {1, 2, . . . , 𝑠} with transition probability matrix Λ = {𝜋𝑖𝑗 } given by P [𝑟𝑡+Δ𝑡 = 𝑗 | 𝑟𝑡 = 𝑖] = { 𝜋𝑖𝑗 Δ + 𝑜 (Δ) 1 + 𝜋𝑖𝑗 Δ + 𝑜 (Δ) if 𝑗 ≠ 𝑖 if 𝑗 = 𝑖, (1) where limΔ → 0 𝑜(Δ)/Δ = 0, 𝜋𝑖𝑗 > 0, 𝑗 ≠ 𝑖, and 𝜋𝑖𝑖 = − ∑𝑗 ≠ 𝑖 𝜋𝑖𝑗 for each 𝑖 ∈ S. Fix a probability space (Ω, F, P) and consider the singular stochastic system with Markovian switching as follows: E {𝑓 (𝑡)} ≤ 𝜆 1 E { sup 𝑓 (𝑡)} + 𝜆 2 𝑒−𝜀𝑡 , 𝑡−𝑑≤𝑠≤𝑡 where 𝜀 > 0, 0 < 𝜆 1 < 1, 0 < 𝜆 1 𝑒𝜀𝛼 < 1, 𝜆 2 > 0, and 𝛼 > 0; then 𝜆 2 𝑒−𝜀𝑡 .

𝐸 ∈ R𝑛×𝑛 may be singular; we assume that rank 𝐸 = 𝑟 ≤ 𝑛. 𝐴(𝑟𝑡 ), 𝐴 𝑑 (𝑟𝑡 ), 𝐶(𝑟𝑡 ), and 𝐷(𝑟𝑡 ) are real constant matrices of appropriate dimensions. For notational simplicity, in the sequel, for each possible 𝑟𝑡 ∈ 𝑖, 𝑖 ∈ S, a matrix 𝑀(𝑟𝑡 ) will be denoted by 𝑀𝑖 ; for example, 𝐴(𝑟𝑡 ) is denoted by 𝐴 𝑖 , 𝐴 𝑑 (𝑟𝑡 ) is denoted by 𝐴 𝑑𝑖 , and so on. The mode-dependent time-varying delay 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡) is a timevarying continuous function that satisfies (3) 𝑑 ̇ (𝑡) ≤ 𝜇 < 1, ∀𝑖 ∈ S, 0 ≤ 𝑑 (𝑡) ≤ 𝑑 , 𝑖 𝑖 𝑖 𝑖 where 𝑑𝑖 and 𝜇𝑖 are constants; 𝜙(𝑡) ∈ [−𝑑, 0] is the initial condition of continuous state with 𝑑 = max{𝑑𝑖 , 𝑖 ∈ S}. The following preliminary assumption is made for system (2). Assumption 1. For singular stochastic hybrid system (2), the following condition is satisfied: rank (𝐸) = rank [𝐸 𝐶𝑖 𝐷𝑖 ] , 𝑖 ∈ S. (4) The objective of this paper is to present a criterion for mean-square exponential stability of system (2). It should be pointed out that, for simplicity only, we do not consider uncertainties and disturbance input in our models. The (6) Lemma 4 (see [24]). For any vectors 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ R𝑛 , scalar 𝛾 > 0, and matrix 𝑃 > 0 with appropriate dimension, the following inequality is always satisfied: 𝐸𝑑𝑥 (𝑡) = [𝐴 (𝑟𝑡 ) 𝑥 (𝑡) + 𝐴 𝑑 (𝑟𝑡 ) (𝑥 − 𝑑 (𝑡, 𝑟𝑡 ))] 𝑑𝑡 𝑥 (𝑡) = 𝜙 (𝑡) , (5) (7) 3. Stability of Singular Stochastic Hybrid Systems In this section, we study the mean-square exponential stability of singular hybrid system (2). Theorem 5. For any delays 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡) satisfying (3), the singular stochastic hybrid system (2) is mean-square exponentially admissible for 𝛿 > 0, if there exist symmetric matrices 𝑃𝑖 > 0, 𝑄𝑘𝑖 > 0, 𝑈𝑘 > 0, 𝑉𝑘 > 0, 𝑄𝑘 > 0, 𝑊𝑖 > 0, and 𝑊 > 0 and matrices 𝑆, 𝑀𝑘𝑙 , 𝑘 = 1, 2, . . .

We first show that the system (2) is regular and impulse-free. Since rank 𝐸 = 𝑟 ≤ 𝑛, there exist nonsingular matrices 𝐺 and 𝐻 such that 𝐼 0 𝐸̂ = 𝐺𝐸𝐻 = [ 𝑟 ] . 0 0 (13) Then, 𝑅 can be parameterized as 𝑅 = 𝐺𝑇 [ Φ0 ], where Φ ∈ is any nonsingular matrix. R Define (𝑛−𝑟)×(𝑛−𝑟) ̂𝑖 = 𝐺𝐴 𝑖 𝐻 = [𝐴 𝑖11 𝐴 𝑖12 ] , 𝐴 𝐴 𝑖21 𝐴 𝑖22 −𝑇 −1 𝐺 𝑃𝑖 𝐺 𝑃 𝑃 = [ 𝑖11 𝑖12 ] , 𝑃𝑖21 𝑃𝑖22 𝑆 𝐻 𝑆 = [ 11 ] . 𝑆21 𝑇 (14) Premultiplying and postmultiplying Ξ𝑖11 < 0 by 𝐻𝑇 and 𝐻, respectively, we have 𝑇 𝐴𝑇𝑖22 Φ𝑆21 + 𝑆21 Φ𝑇 𝐴 𝑖22 < 0 (15) and thus 𝐴 𝑖22 is nonsingular. Otherwise, supposing 𝐴 𝑖22 is singular, there must exist a nonzero vector 𝜁 ∈ R𝑛−𝑟 4 Abstract and Applied Analysis which ensures that 𝐴 𝑖22 𝜁 = 0. Then, we can conclude that 𝑇 𝜁𝑇 (𝐴𝑇𝑖22 Φ𝑆21 + 𝑆21 Φ𝑇 𝐴 𝑖22 )𝜁 = 0, and this contradicts (15). So ̂𝐴 ̂𝑖 ) is regular and 𝐴 𝑖22 is nonsingular, and thus the pair (𝐸, ̂𝑖 ), impulse-free for each 𝑖 ∈ S. Since det(𝑠𝐸 − 𝐴 𝑖 ) = det(𝑠𝐸̂ − 𝐴 we can easily see that the pair (𝐸, 𝐴 𝑖 ) is regular and impulsefree.

Then, by Definition 2, system (2) is regular and impulse part. In the following, we will prove the mean-square exponential stability of system (2). Define a new process {(𝑥𝑡 , 𝑟𝑡 ), 𝑡 ≥ 0}, by 𝑥𝑡 (𝑠) = 𝑥(𝑡 + 𝑠), −2𝑑 ≤ 𝑠 ≤ 0; then {(𝑥𝑡 , 𝑟𝑡 ), 𝑡 ≥ 0} is a Markov process with initial state (𝜙(⋅), 𝑟0 ).

Define ̂𝑖21 𝜁1 (𝑡) + 𝐴 𝑖𝑑3 𝜁1 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) . 𝑒 (𝑡) = 𝐴 (38) Then, from (37), there exists a constant 𝑚 > 0 such that when 𝑡 > 0 2 (39) E {‖𝑒(𝑡)‖2 } ≤ 𝑚𝑒−𝜀𝑡 𝜙 (𝑡)𝑑 . Define a function as follows: 𝐽 (𝑡) = 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) 𝑊22 𝜁2 (𝑡) − 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) 𝑊22 𝜁2 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) . (40) Abstract and Applied Analysis 7 By premultiplying the second equation of (33) with we get 𝑇 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡)𝑃̂𝑖22 , 𝑇 𝑇 𝜁2 (𝑡) + 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) 𝑃̂𝑖22 𝐴 𝑖𝑑4 𝜁2 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) 𝑃̂𝑖22 + 𝑇 𝑒 (𝑡) 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) 𝑃̂𝑖22 = 0. (41) where 0 < 𝛿 < min{𝜀, 𝑑−1 ln 𝜏3 }, 𝑓(𝑡) = 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡)𝑊22 𝜁2 (𝑡), and 𝜏4 = (𝜏3 𝜏1 )−1 𝑚 max𝑖∈S ‖𝑊22 ‖2 ‖𝜙(𝑡)‖2𝑑 . Therefore, by Lemma 3, the above inequality yields that 2 −1 −𝛿𝑡 𝜁2 (𝑡)2 E𝜁2 (𝑡) ≤ 𝜆−1 min (𝑊22 ) 𝜆 max (𝑊22 ) 𝑒 𝑑 + Adding (41) to (40) yields that 𝑇 𝐽 (𝑡) = 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) (𝑃̂𝑖22 + 𝑃̂𝑖22 + 𝑊22 ) 𝜁2 (𝑡) 𝑇 𝑒 (𝑡) − 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) 𝑊22 𝜁2 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) + 2𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) 𝑃̂𝑖22 𝜁2 (𝑡) ] 𝜁2 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) 𝑇 𝑇 𝜁2 (𝑡) 𝐴 𝑖𝑑4 𝑃̂𝑇 + 𝑃̂𝑖22 + 𝑊22 𝑃̂𝑖22 × [ 𝑖22 ][ ] 𝜁2 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) ∗ −𝑊22 𝑇 + 𝜏1 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) 𝜁2 (𝑡) + 𝜏1−1 𝑒𝑇 (𝑡) 𝑃̂𝑖22 𝑃̂𝑖22 𝑒 (𝑡) , (42) where 𝜏1 is any positive scalar. Premultiplying and postmultiplying Ω𝑖1 < 0 by diag(𝐻𝑇 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 𝐻𝑇 )and diag(𝐻 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 𝐻), respectively, we get a constant 𝜏2 > 0 such that 𝑇 𝜏𝐼 0 𝐴 𝑖𝑑4 𝑃̂𝑇 + 𝑃̂𝑖22 + 𝑊22 𝑃̂𝑖22 ] ≤ −[ 2 [ 𝑖22 ]. 0 0 ∗ −𝑊22 (49) which means that the system (2) is mean-square exponentially 10 stable. This completes the proof. 𝑇 + 2𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) 𝑃̂𝑖22 𝐴 𝑖𝑑4 𝜁2 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) ≤[ −𝛿𝑡 𝜆−1 min (𝑊22 ) 𝜏4 𝑒 , 1 − 𝜏3−1 𝑒𝛿𝑑 (43) Remark 6. In Theorem 5, a delay-dependent criterion for the mean-square exponential admissibility of system (2) is derived in terms of strict LMI, which can be easily solved by standard software. In order to reduce conservatism, a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is constructed base on the discretized Lyapunov functional method. The functional in (17) allows to take different weighing matrices on different subintervals, which will yield less conservative delay-dependent stability criterion. The conservatism will be reduced with 𝑁 increasing and will be illustrated via examples in the next section. The method can also be applied to this class of systems with interval time-varying delays by decomposing the lower bound of the time delay. Remark 7. Specially, if there are no stochastic terms, the system (2) becomes a singular Markovian jump system with mode-dependent time-varying delay: Since 𝜏1 can be chosen arbitrarily, 𝜏1 is chosen small enough such that 𝜏2 − 𝜏1 > 0. Then, we can always find a scalar 𝜏3 > 1 such that 𝐸𝑥̇ (𝑡) = 𝐴 (𝑟𝑡 ) 𝑥 (𝑡) + 𝐴 𝑑 (𝑟𝑡 ) (𝑥 − 𝑑 (𝑡, 𝑟𝑡 )) 𝑊22 − (𝜏1 − 𝜏2 ) 𝐼 ≥ 𝜏3 𝑊22 . Based on the proof of Theorem 5, we have the following corollary. (44) From (40), (42), and (43), we get 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) 𝑊22 𝜁2 (𝑡) − 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) 𝑊22 𝜁2 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) ≤ −𝜏2 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) 𝜁2 (𝑡) + 𝜏1 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) 𝜁2 (𝑡) (45) 𝑇 + 𝜏1−1 𝑒𝑇 (𝑡) 𝑃̂𝑖22 𝑃̂𝑖22 𝑒 (𝑡) . It is easy to see that the above inequality and (44) imply 𝜏3 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) 𝑊22 𝜁2 (𝑡) ≤ 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) (𝑊22 − (𝜏1 − 𝜏2 ) 𝐼) 𝜁2 (𝑡) ≤ 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) 𝑊22 𝜁2 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) (46) 𝑇 𝑒 (𝑡) . + 𝜏1−1 𝑒𝑇 (𝑡) 𝑃̂𝑖22 𝑃̂𝑖22 −1 𝑇 𝑇 + (𝜏3 𝜏1 ) 𝑒 (𝑡) 𝑃̂𝑖22 𝑃̂𝑖22 𝑒 (𝑡) . 𝑡−𝑑≤𝑠≤𝑡 (50) Corollary 8. For any delays 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡) satisfying (3), the singular Markovian jump system (50) is mean-square exponentially admissible for 𝛿 > 0, if there exist matrices 𝑃𝑖 > 0, 𝑄𝑘𝑖 > 0, 𝑈𝑘 > 0, 𝑄𝑘 > 0, 𝑀𝑘𝑙 , 𝑘 = 1, 2, . . . 𝑁, 𝑙 = 0, 1, . . .

𝑁 (51) 𝑗=1 (47) 𝑠 ∑𝜋𝑖𝑗 𝑊𝑗 ≤ 𝑊. 𝑗=1 Then, from (39) and (47), we deduce that E {𝑓 (𝑡)} ≤ 𝜏3−1 E { sup 𝑓 (𝑠)} + 𝜏4 𝑒−𝛿𝑡 , ∀𝑡 ∈ [−𝑑, 𝑡] . ∑𝜋𝑖𝑗 𝑄𝑘𝑗 ≤ 𝑄𝑘 , Then, from above inequality, we have 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡) 𝑊22 𝜁2 (𝑡) ≤ 𝜏3−1 𝜁2𝑇 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) 𝑊22 𝜁2 (𝑡 − 𝑑𝑖 (𝑡)) 𝑥 (𝑡) = 𝜙 (𝑡) , (48) Remark 9. Corollary 8 provides a new exponential stability criterion for continuous-time singular Markovian jump systems with mode-dependent time delays, which has only been studied by Balasubramiam et al. [28]. It should be 8 Abstract and Applied Analysis pointed out that, even in the case 𝑁 = 1, our criterion still has less conservatism than the results in [28], which will be illustrated via a numerical example. The reduced conservatism of Corollary 8 comes from the matrices 𝑄𝑘𝑖 and 𝑊𝑖 , which are selected to be mode dependent in our paper. Example 1.

From Table 2, we can see that the conservatism will be reduced with 𝑁 increasing. 5. Conclusions In this paper, the problem of delay-dependent stability problem for a class of singular hybrid systems with modedependent time delay has been investigated. Based on the discretized Lyapunov functional method, a criterion which guarantees the systems is regular, impulse-free, and meansquare exponentially stable has been derived in terms of strict LMI. Two numerical examples have been given to show the effectiveness of proposed method.
