Among different kinds of models for fuzzy systems, the so-called Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model has been quite popular due to its convenient and simple dynamic structure as well as its capability of approximating any smooth nonlinear function to any specified accuracy within any compact set. In terms of such a model, the performance analysis and the design of controllers and filters play important roles in the research of fuzzy systems. In this paper, we aim to survey some recent advances on the T-S fuzzy control and filtering problems with various network-induced phenomena. The network-induced phenomena under consideration mainly include communication delays, packet dropouts, signal quantization, and randomly occurring uncertainties (ROUs). With such network-induced phenomena, the developments on T-S fuzzy control and filtering issues are reviewed in detail. In addition, some latest results on this topic are highlighted. In the end, conclusions are drawn and some possible future research directions are pointed out.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61134009, 61329301, 11301118 and 61174136, the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province of China under Grant BK20130017, the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities of China under Grant CUSF-DH-D-2013061, the Royal Society of the U.K., and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany

    Fuzzy-model-based robust fault detection with stochastic mixed time-delays and successive packet dropouts

    This is the Post-Print version of the Article. The official published version can be accessed from the link below - Copyright @ 2012 IEEEThis paper is concerned with the network-based robust fault detection problem for a class of uncertain discrete-time Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems with stochastic mixed time delays and successive packet dropouts. The mixed time delays comprise both the multiple discrete time delays and the infinite distributed delays. A sequence of stochastic variables is introduced to govern the random occurrences of the discrete time delays, distributed time delays, and successive packet dropouts, where all the stochastic variables are mutually independent but obey the Bernoulli distribution. The main purpose of this paper is to design a fuzzy fault detection filter such that the overall fault detection dynamics is exponentially stable in the mean square and, at the same time, the error between the residual signal and the fault signal is made as small as possible. Sufficient conditions are first established via intensive stochastic analysis for the existence of the desired fuzzy fault detection filters, and then, the corresponding solvability conditions for the desired filter gains are established. In addition, the optimal performance index for the addressed robust fuzzy fault detection problem is obtained by solving an auxiliary convex optimization problem. An illustrative example is provided to show the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed design method.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 61028008, 60825303, 61004067, National 973 Project under Grant 2009CB320600, the Key Laboratory of Integrated Automation for the Process Industry (Northeastern University), Ministry of Education, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the U.K. under Grant GR/S27658/01, the Royal Society of the U.K., the University of Hong Kong under Grant HKU/CRCG/200907176129 and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany

    On the Local Quadratic Stability of T-S Fuzzy Systems in the Vicinity of the Origin

    Full text link
    The main goal of this paper is to introduce new local stability conditions for continuous-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems. These stability conditions are based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) in combination with quadratic Lyapunov functions. Moreover, they integrate information on the membership functions at the origin and effectively leverage the linear structure of the underlying nonlinear system in the vicinity of the origin. As a result, the proposed conditions are proved to be less conservative compared to existing methods using fuzzy Lyapunov functions in the literature. Moreover, we establish that the proposed methods offer necessary and sufficient conditions for the local exponential stability of T-S fuzzy systems. The paper also includes discussions on the inherent limitations associated with fuzzy Lyapunov approaches. To demonstrate the theoretical results, we provide comprehensive examples that elucidate the core concepts and validate the efficacy of the proposed conditions

    A CENTER MANIFOLD THEORY-BASED APPROACH TO THE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF STATE FEEDBACK TAKAGI-SUGENO-KANG FUZZY CONTROL SYSTEMS

    Get PDF
    The aim of this paper is to propose a stability analysis approach based on the application of the center manifold theory and applied to state feedback Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy control systems. The approach is built upon a similar approach developed for Mamdani fuzzy controllers. It starts with a linearized mathematical model of the process that is accepted to belong to the family of single input second-order nonlinear systems which are linear with respect to the control signal. In addition, smooth right-hand terms of the state-space equations that model the processes are assumed. The paper includes the validation of the approach by application to stable state feedback Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy control system for the position control of an electro-hydraulic servo-system

    Contributions to fuzzy polynomial techniques for stability analysis and control

    The present thesis employs fuzzy-polynomial control techniques in order to improve the stability analysis and control of nonlinear systems. Initially, it reviews the more extended techniques in the field of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems, such as the more relevant results about polynomial and fuzzy polynomial systems. The basic framework uses fuzzy polynomial models by Taylor series and sum-of-squares techniques (semidefinite programming) in order to obtain stability guarantees. The contributions of the thesis are: ¿ Improved domain of attraction estimation of nonlinear systems for both continuous-time and discrete-time cases. An iterative methodology based on invariant-set results is presented for obtaining polynomial boundaries of such domain of attraction. ¿ Extension of the above problem to the case with bounded persistent disturbances acting. Different characterizations of inescapable sets with polynomial boundaries are determined. ¿ State estimation: extension of the previous results in literature to the case of fuzzy observers with polynomial gains, guaranteeing stability of the estimation error and inescapability in a subset of the zone where the model is valid. ¿ Proposal of a polynomial Lyapunov function with discrete delay in order to improve some polynomial control designs from literature. Preliminary extension to the fuzzy polynomial case. Last chapters present a preliminary experimental work in order to check and validate the theoretical results on real platforms in the future.Pitarch Pérez, JL. (2013).

First of all, we recall several important algorithms suitable for gain-scheduling method including gain-scheduled proportional-integral derivative (PID) control, H 2, H ∞ and mixed H 2 / H ∞ gain-scheduling methods as well as fuzzy gain-scheduling techniques. Secondly, various important parameter-varying system models are reviewed, for which gain-scheduled control and filtering issues are usually dealt with. In particular, in view of the randomly occurring phenomena with time-varying probability distributions, some results of our recent work based on the probability-dependent gain-scheduling methods are reviewed. Furthermore, some latest progress in this area is discussed.

    Multicriteria fuzzy-polynomial observer design for a 3DoF nonlinear electromechanical platform

    Full text link
    This paper proposes local fuzzy-polynomial observer discrete-time designs for state estimation of a nonlinear 3DoF electromechanical platform (fixed quadrotor). A trade-off between H∞ norm bounds and speed of convergence performance is taken into account in the design process. Actual experimental data are used to compare performance of the fuzzy polynomial design with classical ones based on the Takagi–Sugeno and linearized models, both using the same optimization criteria and design parameters.The authors are grateful to the financial support of the Spanish government under research project DPI2011-27845-C02-01 and FPI Grant BES-2009-013882, as well as to Generalitat Valenciana grant PROMETEOII/2013/004.

    Nonfragile H∞Fuzzy filtering with randomly occurring gain variations and channel fadings

    Get PDF
    This paper is concerned with the nonfragile filtering problem for a class of discrete-Time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with both randomly occurring gain variations (ROGVs) and channel fadings.The phenomenon of the ROGVs is introduced into the system model so as to account for the parameter fluctuations occurring during the filter implementation. Two sequences of random variables obeying the Bernoulli distribution are employed to describe the phenomenon of the ROGVs bounded by prescribed norms. In addition, the Rice fading model is utilized to describe the phenomena of channel fadings, where the occurrence probabilities of the random channel coefficients are allowed to time varying. Through stochastic analysis and Lyapunov functional approach, sufficient conditions are established under which the filtering error dynamics is exponentially mean-square stable with a prespecified ∞ performance. The set of the desired nonfragile ∞ filters is characterized by solving a convex optimization problem via the semidefinite programming method. An illustrative example is given to show the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed design method in this paper.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61134009, 61329301, 61203139, 61374127 and 61422301, the Hujiang Foundation of China under Grant C14002, the Royal Society of the U.K., and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany

    Contributions to nonlinear system modelling and controller synthesis via convex structures

    Esta tesis discute diferentes metodologías de modelado para extraer mejores prestaciones o resultados de estabilidad que aquéllas que el modelado convencional basado en sector no-lineal de sistemas Takagi-Sugeno (también denominados cuasi-LPV) es capaz de producir. En efecto, incluso si las LMIs pueden probar distintas cotas de prestaciones o márgenes de estabilidad (tasa de decaimiento, H\mathcal H_\infty, etc.) para sistemas politópicos, es bien conocido que las prestaciones probadas dependen del modelo elegido y, dado un sistema no-lineal, dicho modelo politópico no es único. Por tanto, se presentan exploraciones hacia cómo obtener el modelo que es menos perjudicial para la medida de prestaciones elegida. Como una última contribución, mejores resultados son obtenidos mediante la extensión del modelado politópico Takagi-Sugeno a un marco de inclusiones en diferencias cuasi-convexas con planificación de ganancia. En efecto, una versión sin planificación de ganancia fue propuesta por un equipo de investigadores de la Universidad de Sevilla (Fiaccini, Álamo, Camacho) para generalizar el modelado politópico, y esta tesis propone una version aún más general de algunos de dichos resultados que incorpora planificación de ganancia.This thesis discusses different modelling methodologies to eke out best performance/stability results than conventional sector-nonlinearity Takagi-Sugeno (also known as quasi-LPV) systems modelling techniques are able to yield. Indeed, even if LMIs can prove various performance and stability bounds (decay rate, H\mathcal H_\infty, etc.) for polytopic systems, it is well known that the proven performance depends on the chosen model and, given a nonlinear dynamic systems, the polytopic embeddings available for it are not unique. Thus, explorations on how to obtain the model which is less deletereous for performance are presented. As a last contribution, extending the polytopic Takagi-Sugeno setup to a gain-scheduled quasi-convex difference inclusion framework allows to improve the results over the polytopic models. Indeed, the non-scheduled convex difference inclusion framework was proposed by a research team in University of Seville (Fiacchini, Alamo, Camacho) as a generalised modelling methodology which included the polytopic one; this thesis poses a further generalised gain-scheduled version of some of these results.Aquesta tesi discuteix diferents metodologies de modelatge per extreure millors prestacions o resultats d'estabilitat que aquelles que el modelatge convencional basat en sector no-lineal de sistemes Takagi-Sugeno (també anomenats quasi-LPV) és capaç de produir. En efecte, fins i tot si les LMIs poden provar diferents cotes de prestacions o marges d'estabilitat (taxa de decaïment, H\mathcal H_\infty, etc.) per a sistemes politòpics, és ben conegut que les prestacions provades depenen del model triat i, donat un sistema no-lineal, el dit model politòpic no és únic. Per tant, es presenten exploracions cap a com obtenir el model que és menys perjudicial per a la mesura de prestacions triada. Com una darrera contribució, millors resultats són obtinguts mitjançant l'extensió del modelatge politòpic Takagi-Sugeno a un marc d'inclusions en diferències quasi-convexes amb planificació de guany. En efecte, una versió sense planificació de guany va ser proposada per un equip d'investigadors de la Universitat de Sevilla (Fiaccini, Álamo, Camacho) per a generalitzar el modelatge politòpic, i aquesta tesi proposa una versió més general d'alguns d'aquests resultats que incorpora planificació de guany.Robles Ruiz, R.
