New delay-dependent stabilization conditions of T–S fuzzy systems with constant delay

This paper focuses on the problem of robust control for Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems with time-delay. The delay-dependent stability analysis and controller synthesis have been addressed. The free weighting matrix method has been used for stability analysis and controller synthesis. New and less conservative delay-dependent stability conditions are proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Finally, some examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
