Robust sampled-data stabilization of uncertain fuzzy systems via input delay approach

This paper is concerned with robust sampled-data stabilization for uncertain fuzzy systems. The system is modeled as a continuous-time fuzzy system, while the control input is a zero-order sampled-data signal. When a zero-order control input is considered, the closed-loop system can be seen as an input delay system. Hence, an input delay system approach is introduced for sampled-data control design. Sufficient stability conditions for the closed-loop system are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Under the assumption that sampling interval is not greater than some prescribed number, stability conditions for fuzzy time-delay systems are given by using Jensen’s Inequality, which simplifies conditions with less matrix variables. A design method of robust sampled-data state feedback controller for uncertain fuzzy systems is then proposed. Numerical examples are given to illustrate our robust sampled-data state feedback control design and to show the effectiveness over other existing results.
