Stability analysis and stabilization for discrete-time fuzzy systems with time-varying delay

This paper is concerned with the problems of stability analysis and stabilization for discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems with time-varying state delay. By constructing a new fuzzy Lyapunov function and by making use of novel techniques, an improved delay-dependent stability condition is obtained, which is dependent on the lower and upper delay bounds. The merit of the proposed stability condition lies in its reduced conservatism, which is achieved by avoiding the utilization of some bounding inequalities for the cross products between two vectors. Then, delay-dependent stabilization approach based on a parallel distributed compensation scheme is developed for both state feedback and observer-based output feedback cases. The proposed stability and stabilization conditions are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which can be solved efficiently by using existing optimization techniques. Two illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results proposed in this paper. © 2008 IEEE.published_or_final_versio

In this note, the T-S fuzzy model approach is exploited to establish stability criteria for a class of nonlinear stochastic systems with time delay. Sufficient conditions are derived in the format of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), such that for all admissible parameter uncertainties, the overall fuzzy system is stochastically exponentially stable in the mean square, independent of the time delay. Therefore, with the numerically attractive Matlab LMI toolbox, the robust stability of the uncertain stochastic fuzzy systems with time delays can be easily checked

H ? filtering for stochastic singular fuzzy systems with time-varying delay

This paper considers the H? filtering problem for stochastic singular fuzzy systems with timevarying delay. We assume that the state and measurement are corrupted by stochastic uncertain exogenous disturbance and that the system dynamic is modeled by Ito-type stochastic differential equations. Based on an auxiliary vector and an integral inequality, a set of delay-dependent sufficient conditions is established, which ensures that the filtering error system is e?t - weighted integral input-to-state stable in mean (iISSiM). A fuzzy filter is designed such that the filtering error system is impulse-free, e?t -weighted iISSiM and the H? attenuation level from disturbance to estimation error is belowa prescribed scalar.Aset of sufficient conditions for the solvability of the H? filtering problem is obtained in terms of a new type of Lyapunov function and a set of linear matrix inequalities. Simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed filtering approach developed in this paper

This paper is concerned with the passivity and passification problems of the stochastic discrete-time T-S fuzzy systems with delay. We first propose the definition of passivity in the sense of expectation. Then, by utilizing the Lyapunov functional method, the stochastic analysis combined with the matrix inequality techniques, a sufficient condition in terms of linear matrix inequalities is presented, ensuring the passivity performance of the T-S fuzzy models. Finally, based on this criterion, state feedback controller is designed, and several criteria are obtained to make the closed-loop system passive in the sense of expectation. The results acquired in this paper are delay dependent in the sense that they depend on not only the lower bound but also the upper bound of the time-varying delay. Numerical examples are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of our criteria.This work was supported in part by the Royal Society Sino–British Fellowship Trust Award of the U.K., by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 60804028, by the Specialized Research Fund for the Doctoral Program of Higher Education for New Teachers in China under Grant 200802861044, and by the Teaching and Research Fund for Excellent Young Teachers at Southeast University of China

New Stability Criterion for Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Cohen-Grossberg Neural Networks with Probabilistic Time-Varying Delays

A new global asymptotic stability criterion of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with probabilistic time-varying delays was derived, in which the diffusion item can play its role. Owing to deleting the boundedness conditions on amplification functions, the main result is a novelty to some extent. Besides, there is another novelty in methods, for Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is the positive definite form of p powers, which is different from those of existing literature. Moreover, a numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed methods

By choosing to view this document, you agree to all provisions of the copyright laws protecting it.This paper is concerned with the H∞ fuzzy control problem for a class of systems with repeated scalar nonlinearities and random packet losses. A modified Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is proposed in which the consequent parts are composed of a set of discrete-time state equations containing a repeated scalar nonlinearity. Such a model can describe some well-known nonlinear systems such as recurrent neural networks. The measurement transmission between the plant and controller is assumed to be imperfect and a stochastic variable satisfying the Bernoulli random binary distribution is utilized to represent the phenomenon of random packet losses. Attention is focused on the analysis and design of H∞ fuzzy controllers with the same repeated scalar nonlinearities such that the closed-loop T-S fuzzy control system is stochastically stable and preserves a guaranteed H∞ performance. Sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of admissible controllers, and the cone complementarity linearization procedure is employed to cast the controller design problem into a sequential minimization one subject to linear matrix inequalities, which can be readily solved by using standard numerical software. Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method

The time delay is assumed to be infinitely distributed in the discrete-time domain, and the uncertain parameters are norm-bounded. By using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, sufficient conditions are derived for ensuring the exponential stability as well as the H infin performance for the closed-loop fuzzy control system. It is also shown that the controller gain can be characterized in terms of the solution to a set of LMIs, which can be easily solved by using standard software packages. A simulation example is exploited in order to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design procedures

Design of robust control for uncertain fuzzy quadruple-tank systems with time-varying delays

Producción CientíficaThe robust H∞ observer-based control design is addressed here for non-linear Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with time-varying delays, subject to uncertainties and external disturbances. This is motivated by the quadruple-tank with time delay control problem. The observer design methodology is based on constructing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) for an augmented system formed from the original and the delayed states. The bilinear terms are transferred to the linear matrix inequalities, thanks to a change of variables which can be solved in one step. Furthermore, by employing the L2 performance index, the adverse effects of persistent bounded disturbances is largely avoided. The proposed method has the advantage of relating the controller and Lyapunov function to both the original and delayed states. Then, the controller and observer gains are obtained simultaneously by solving these inequalities with off-the-shelf software (Yalmip/MATLAB toolbox). Finally, an application to a simulated quadruple-tank system with time delay is carried out to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed technique, showing a compromise between controller simplicity and robustness that outperforms previous approaches.Publicación en abierto financiada por el Consorcio de Bibliotecas Universitarias de Castilla y León (BUCLE), con cargo al Programa Operativo 2014ES16RFOP009 FEDER 2014-2020 DE CASTILLA Y LEÓN, Actuación:20007-CL - Apoyo Consorcio BUCL

Fuzzy control turns 50: 10 years later

In 2015, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Fuzzy Sets, ten years after the main milestones regarding its applications in fuzzy control in their 40th birthday were reviewed in FSS, see [1]. Ten years is at the same time a long period and short time thinking to the inner dynamics of research. This paper, presented for these 50 years of Fuzzy Sets is taking into account both thoughts. A first part presents a quick recap of the history of fuzzy control: from model-free design, based on human reasoning to quasi-LPV (Linear Parameter Varying) model-based control design via some milestones, and key applications. The second part shows where we arrived and what the improvements are since the milestone of the first 40 years. A last part is devoted to discussion and possible future research topics.Guerra, T.; Sala, A.; Tanaka, K. (2015). Fuzzy control turns 50: 10 years later.

Designing the Model Predictive Control for Interval Type-2 Fuzzy T-S Systems Involving Unknown Time-Varying Delay in Both States and Input Vector

In this paper, the model predictive control is designed for an interval type-2 Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) system with unknown time-varying delay in state and input vectors. The time-varying delay is a weird phenomenon that is appeared in almost all systems. It can make many problems and instability while the system is working. In this paper, the time-varying delay is considered in both states and input vectors and is the sensible difference between the proposed method here and previous algorithms, besides, it is unknown but bounded. To solve the problem, the Razumikhin approach is applied to the proposed method since it includes a Lyapunov function with the original nonaugmented state space of system models compared to Krasovskii formula. On the other hand, the Razumikhin method act better and avoids the inherent complexity of the Krasovskii specifically when large delays and disturbances are appeared. To stabilize output results, the model predictive control (MPC) is designed for the system and the considered system in this paper is interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy T-S that has better estimation of the dynamic model of the system. Here, online optimization problems are solved by the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which reduce the burdens of the computation and online computational costs compared to the offline and non-LMI approach. At the end, an example is illustrated for the proposed approach
