Observer-based output feedback control design of discrete-time Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems: A multi-samples method

In this paper, the problem of observer-based output feedback control design of discrete-time Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems is investigated based on a multi-samples method. In order to ameliorate the existing results in the literature, a fuzzy observer-based output feedback controller, which relies on multi-samples normalized fuzzy weighting functions, is developed for relaxing the design conditions of observer-based output feedback control. Moreover, thanks to the special form of the developed observer-based output feedback controller, it is shown that all the designed parameters can be solved via a set of strict linear matrix inequalities, i.e., the drawback induced by the usual two-step method is resolved by means of a compromising way. Finally, the benefit of the proposed result is validated by using some numerical experiments.
