This paper investigates the non-fragile H∞ synchronization issue for a class of discrete-time T-S fuzzy Markov jump systems. With regard to the T-S fuzzy model, a novel processing method based on matrix transformation is introduced to deal with the double summation inequality containing fuzzy weighting functions, which may be beneficial to obtain conditions with less conservatism. In view of the fact that the uncertainties may occur randomly in the execution of actuator, a non-fragile controller design scheme is presented by virtue of the Bernoulli distributed white sequence. The main novelty of this paper lies in that the transition probabilities of Markov chain are considered to be piecewise time-varying, and whose variation characteristics are described by the persistent dwell-time switching regularity. Then, based on Lyapunov stability theory, it is concluded that the resulting synchronization error system is mean-square exponentially stable with a prescribed H∞ performance in the presence of actuator gain variations. Finally, an illustrative example about Lorenz chaotic systems is provided to show the effectiveness of the established results.
