On stability and stabilization of singular uncertain Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems

This paper deals with the problem of robust stability and robust stabilization or a class of continuous-time singular Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems. Sufficient conditions on stability and stabilization are proposed in terms of strict LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality) for uncertain T-S fuzzy models. In order to reduce the conservatism of results developed using quadratic method, an approach based on non-quadratic Lyapunov functions and S-procedure is proposed. Illustrative examples are given to show the effectiveness of the given results. (C) 2013 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
