“…Stability and stabilization of MJSs (Ali et al, 2019), filtering (Li and Wang, 2012; Peng et al, 2019), and controller design for MJSs (Fei et al, 2017; Hou and Sun, 2018; Ma et al, 2018) have been well addressed in the literature. In recent years, SMC as a powerful robust method has been applied to different classes of fractional-order systems such as time-delay fractional order systems (Yousefi and Binazadeh, 2018), fractional-order chaotic systems (Roohi et al, 2019), fractional stochastic systems (Khandani et al, 2016, 2017) and so on. SMC has also been widely applied to MJSs; see Chen et al (2011), Jiang et al (2019), Kao et al (2014), Shen et al (2018), Zhang et al (2012), Zhao et al (2019) and the references therein.…”
