This paper is concerned with the sliding mode control (SMC) via finite-time stabilization (FTS) for a class of conic-type nonlinear semi-Markovian jumping systems (SMJSs). Comparing with the classical Markovian jumping systems, the transition rates of SMJSs are related to the random sojourn-time $g$ . Based on this, a suitable SMC law for driving the state trajectories to the designed sliding surface within a finite-time interval is given. Then, the FTS over reaching phase and sliding motion phase is further proved to guarantee the FTS of the whole SMJSs. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by a time-delayed Chua’s circuit simulation.
