Robust H ∞ filter design for affine fuzzy systems

This paper investigates the problem of robust H _∞ filtering for nonlinear systems, which are described by affine fuzzy parts with norm-bounded uncertainties. The system outputs have been chosen as premise variables, which can guarantee the plant and the filter always switch to the same region. By using a piecewise Lyapunov function and adding slack matrix variables, a fuzzy-basis-dependent H _∞ filter design method is obtained in the formulation of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be efficiently solved numerically. Compared with the existing results, the proposed method needs less LMI constraints and leads to less conservatism. Finally, numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the new results.     

H ∞ approach to T-S fuzzy controller for limiting reconstruction errors

In this article, the reconstruction error between a real system to be controlled and its Takagi–Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is considered in the context of control system design. Accordingly, we propose an H _∞ approach to an adaptive controller that consists of two parts: one is obtained by solving certain linear matrix inequalities (fixed part) and the other is acquired using a fuzzy approximator in which the related parameters are tuned by an adaptive law (variable part). The proposed controller can guarantee a convergent and uniformly bounded control state while maintaining the stability of all the signals involved.     

Output feedback controller design of Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems

This paper presents new systematic design methods of two types of output feedback controllers for Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems, one of which is constructed with a fuzzy regulator and a fuzzy observer, while the other is an output direct feedback controller. In order to use the structural information in the rule base to decrease the conservatism of the stability analysis, the standard fuzzy partition (SFP) is employed to the premise variables of fuzzy systems. New stability conditions are obtained by relaxing the stability conditions derived in previous papers. The concept of parallel distributed compensation (PDC) is employed to design fuzzy regulators and fuzzy observers from the T–S fuzzy models. New stability analysis and design methods of output direct feedback controllers are also presented. The output feedback controllers design and simulation results for a nonlinear mass-spring-damper mechanical system show that these methods are effective.     

Dynamic output feedback H ∞ control for affine fuzzy systems

This article investigates the problem of designing H _∞ dynamic output feedback controllers for nonlinear systems, which are described by affine fuzzy models. The system outputs have been chosen as premise variables, which can guarantee that the plant and the controller always switch to the same region. By using a piecewise Lyapunov function and adding slack matrix variables, a piecewise-affine dynamic output feedback controller design method is obtained in the formulation of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be efficiently solved numerically. In contrast to the existing work, the proposed approach needs less LMI constraints and leads to less conservatism. Finally, numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the new result.     

Output feedback controller design for uncertain piecewise linear systems

This paper proposes output feedback controller design methods for uncertain piecewise linear systems based on piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function. The α-stability of closed-loop systems is also considered. It is shown that the output feedback controller design procedure of uncertain piecewise linear systems with α-stability constraint can be cast as solving a set of bilinear matrix inequalities （BMIs）. The BMIs problem in this paper can be solved iteratively as a set of two convex optimization problems involving linear matrix inequalities （LMIs） which can be solved numerically efficiently. A numerical example shows the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Robust fuzzy controller design of nonlinear dynamic systems based on H ∞ optimal criterion

A new design method of fuzzy controllers to achieve H X optimal performance for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems is presented. The dynamic behaviour of a product-sum-type fuzzy controller is analysed and the result reveals that this type of fuzzy controller behaves approximately like a state feedback controller with non-constant feedback gains which are dependent on input signals. Based on the H X control design technique, a systematic analysis and design of the fuzzy controller is presented for guaranteeing the stability or even the performance. Even though the bound of the plant nonlinearity is unknown, the influence of the nonlinear term on the system error is attenuated to a prescribed level by the proposed fuzzy controller. Finally, the fuzzy controller is applied to the Duffing forced oscillation system, which confirms the validity of the controller.     

Delay-dependent H ∞ controller design for linear neutral systems with discrete and distributed delays

This article considers the delay-dependent H _∞ control problem for linear neutral systems with both discrete and distributed delays. The problem we address is to design a state feedback controller such that the resulting closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and satisfies a prescribed H _∞ performance level. First, a delay-dependent sufficient condition for the solvability of the problem is obtained in terms of matrix inequalities. Then, by using the cone complementarity linearization approach, an H _∞ controller is developed based on the solvability condition. Finally, numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Robust H ∞ filter design of uncertain T-S fuzzy neutral systems with time-varying delays

This article addresses the problem of robust H _∞ filter design of a class of Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy neutral systems with time-varying delays and norm-bounded parameter uncertainties. A fuzzy filter is constructed, which ensures both the robust stability and a prescribed H _∞ performance of the filtering error system. A linear matrix inequality approach is developed, and a delay-dependent sufficient condition is obtained. A simulation example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Decentralised indirect adaptive output feedback fuzzy H ∞ tracking design for a class of large-scale nonlinear systems

A novel decentralised indirect adaptive output feedback fuzzy controller with a compensation controller and an H _∞ tracking controller is presented for a class of uncertain large-scale nonlinear systems in this article. The compensator adaptively compensates for interconnections between subsystems as well as mismatched errors, while the H _∞ controller suppresses the effect of external disturbances. Based upon the combination of fuzzy inference systems, a state observer, H _∞ tracking technique and the strictly positive real condition, the proposed overall observer-based decentralised algorithm guarantees not only asymptotical tracking of reference trajectories but also an arbitrary small attenuation level of the unmodelled error dynamics including the disturbances on the tracking control. Simulation results substantiate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

New approach to stochastic stability and controller design for networked control systems

This paper addresses the random time-delays and packet losses issues of networked control systems （NCS） within the framework of jump linear systems with mode-dependent time-delays. A new delay-dependent condition on the stochastic stability is proposed by a new stochastic Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. The condition is formulated as a set of coupled linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. As an example to verify the proposed method, an inverted-pendulum system with network is considered. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.     

Robust H ∞ static output feedback stabilization of T-S fuzzy systems subject to actuator saturation

This paper proposes a method for designing robust H_?? static output feedback stabilization of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems under actuator saturation. In this paper, the input saturation is represented by a polytopic model and the modeling error is assumed a norm-bounded uncertainty. A set invariance condition for robust H_?? static output feedback system under actuator saturation is first established. Then, the estimation of the largest domain of attraction for the system is formulated and solved as a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) optimization problem. Two examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.     

Robust H ∞ networked control for discrete-time fuzzy systems with state quantisation

The problem of robust H _∞ control for uncertain discrete-time Takagi and Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy networked control systems (NCSs) with state quantisation is investigated. A new model of network-based control with simultaneous consideration of network-induced delays and packet dropouts is proposed. By using a fuzzy Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF), we derive a less conservative delay-dependent stability condition for the closed-loop NCSs. Robust H _∞ fuzzy controller is developed for the asymptotical stabilisation of the NCSs. Since it is not expressed as strict LMI conditions, the cone complementary linearisation procedure is exploited to solve the nonconvex feasibility problem. A numerical example shows the feasibility applications of the proposed technique.     

Memoryless H ∞ controller design for switched non-linear systems with mixed time-varying delays

This article deals with the H _∞ control problem for a class of switched non-linear systems with mixed time-varying delays. The novel features here are that the system in consideration is non-linear perturbation with discrete and distributed delays, the time-varying delay is also involved in the observation output, and the controllers to be designed satisfy some exponential stability constraints on the closed-loop poles. By using Lyapunov–Razumikhin functional approach, new sufficient conditions for the H _∞ control with exponential stability constraint are derived in terms of the solution of Riccati-type equations. The approach allows for simultaneous computation of the two bounds that characterise the stability rate of the solution.
