An Anti‐Attack Neural Sliding Mode Framework Based on a Novel Non‐Fragile Observer

ABSTRACT This article investigates anti‐attack stabilization with passivity problem of uncertain singular semi‐Markov jump systems (singular S‐MJSs) with exogenous disturbance and delay. An ingenious non‐fragile observer‐based neural sliding mode control (SMC) scheme is put forward to solve the problem. First, considering unmeasured states, a distinctive non‐fragile and decoupled observer, which does not contain the control input or any auxiliary sliding mode compensator design as in existing observer‐based SMC approaches, is established such that the disadvantages of sliding mode switching in observers in existing literature can be avoided. Then, “only one sliding surface” design and a new system analysis route are presented, and the derived sliding surface is accessibly designed. Next, a new version of stochastic admissibility and passivity sufficient condition is given, and a related algorithm via an optimization problem is proposed to determine the controller gain and the observer gain by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Further, a novel observer‐based anti‐attack neural SMC law, which utilizes a neural network‐based approach to approximate actuator attack, is proposed to stabilize the singular S‐MJSs against actuator attack. Finally, simulation and comparison results are presented, which demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our method.
