Summary This paper focuses on the problem of finite-time H∞ control for one family of discrete-time uncertain singular Markovian jump systems with sensor fault and randomly occurring nonlinearities through a sliding mode approach. The failure of sensor is described as a general and practical continuous fault model. Nonlinear disturbance satisfies the Lipschitz condition and occurs in a probabilistic way. Firstly, based on the state estimator, the discrete-time close-loop error system can be constructed and sufficient criteria are provided to guarantee the augment system is sliding mode finite-time boundedness and sliding mode H∞ finite-time boundedness. The sliding mode control law is synthesized to guarantee the reachability of the sliding surface in a short time interval, and the gain matrices of state feedback controller and state estimator are achieved by solving a feasibility problem in terms of linear matrix inequalities through a decoupling technique. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
