This article proposes a new H∞ sliding mode control strategy for stabilizing controller design for fractional-order Markovian jump systems. The suggested approach is based on the diffusive representation of fractional-order Markovian jump systems which transforms the fractional-order system into an integer-order one. Using a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, the problem of H∞ sliding mode control of uncertain fractional-order Markovian jump systems with exogenous noise is investigated. We propose a sliding surface and prove its reachability. Moreover, the linear matrix inequality conditions for stochastic stability of the resultant sliding motion with a given H∞ disturbance attenuation level are derived. Eventually, the theoretical results are verified through a simulation example.
