Sampled-data stabilization of chaotic systems based on a T-S fuzzy model

This paper investigates the problem of stability and stabilization of a class of chaotic system through the use of sampled-data control. By employing a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model to describe the chaotic system and using a time-dependent Lyapunov function, an exponential stability condition is derived for the resulting closed-loop systems with input saturation constraint. Based on this condition, a fuzzy sampled-data controller is designed to stabilize the systems under consideration. The results obtained in this paper are based on the actual characteristic of sampling model. They depend explicitly on both the upper and lower bounds of sampling intervals. The chaotic Lorenz system is considered and solved by using the proposed approach so as to demonstrate the benefits and the superiority of the proposed approach over existing methods.
