Synchronization of chaotic systems using time-delayed fuzzy state-feedback controller

This paper presents the fuzzy-model-based control approach to synchronize two chaotic systems subject to parameter uncertainties. A fuzzy state-feedback controller using the system state of response chaotic system and the time-delayed system state of drive chaotic system is employed to realize the synchronization. The time delay which complicates the system dynamics makes the analysis difficult. To investigate the system stability and facilitate the design of fuzzy controller, T-S fuzzy models are employed to represent the system dynamics of the chaotic systems. Furthermore, the membership grades of the T-S fuzzy models become uncertain due to the existence of parameter uncertainties which further complicates the system analysis. To ease the stability analysis and produce less conservative analysis result, the membership functions of both T-S fuzzy models and fuzzy controller are considered. Stability conditions are derived using Lyapunov-based approach to aid the design of fuzzy state-feedback controller to synchronize the chaotic systems. A simulation example is presented to illustrate the merits of the proposed approach

Control Design for Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Systems Under Imperfect Premise Matching

Abstract—This paper focuses on designing interval type-2 (IT2) control for nonlinear systems subject to parameter uncertainties. To facilitate the stability analysis and control synthesis, an IT2 TS fuzzy model is employed to represent the dynamics of nonlinear systems of which the parameter uncertainties are captured by IT2 membership functions characterized by the lower and upper membership functions. A novel IT2 fuzzy controller is proposed to perform the control process, where the membership functions and number of rules can be freely chosen and different from those of the IT2 T-S fuzzy model. Consequently, the IT2 fuzzymodel- based (FMB) control system is with imperfectly matched membership functions, which hinders the stability analysis. To relax the stability analysis for this class of IT2 FMB control systems, the information of footprint of uncertainties, and the lower and upper membership functions are taken into account for the stability analysis. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, some stability conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities are obtained to determine the system stability and achieve the control design. Finally, simulation and experimental examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and the merit of the proposed approach

Relaxed stability conditions based on Taylor series membership functions for polynomial fuzzy-model-based control systems

© 2014 IEEE. In this paper, we investigate the stability of polynomial fuzzy-model-based (PFMB) control systems, aiming to relax stability conditions by considering the information of membership functions. To facilitate the stability analysis, we propose a general form of approximated membership functions, which is implemented by Taylor series expansion. Taylor series membership functions (TSMF) can be brought into stability conditions such that the relation between membership grades and system states is expressed. To further reduce the con-servativeness, different types of information are taken into account: the boundary of membership functions, the property of membership functions, and the boundary of operating domain. Stability conditions are obtained from Lyapunov stability theory by sum of squares (SOS) approach. Simulation examples demonstrate the effect of each piece of information
