Observer-Based Sliding Mode Control for Networked Fuzzy Singularly Perturbed Systems Under Weighted Try-Once-Discard Protocol

Jing Wang, Chengyu Yang, Jianwei Xia, Zheng-Guang Wu, Hao Shen

Summary: This article investigates the sliding mode control issue for a class of discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy networked singularly perturbed systems via an observer-based technique. A logarithmic quantizer and a weighted try-once-discard protocol are synthesized to relieve the communication burden and improve the network bandwidth utilization. A novel fuzzy sliding surface is established based on fuzzy observer states, and a sliding mode control law is synthesized to guarantee the reachability of the prescribed sliding surface. Sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the sliding mode dynamics and the error system with expected H-infinity performance are developed using convex optimization theory and Lyapunov approach.
