GLOBAL ROBUST STABILITY CRITERIA FOR T-S FUZZY SYSTEMS WITH DISTRIBUTED DELAYS AND TIME DELAY IN THE LEAKAGE TERM

The paper is concerned with robust stability criteria for Takagi- Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with distributed delays and time delay in the leakage term. By exploiting a model transformation, the system is converted to one of the neutral delay system. Global robust stability result is proposed by a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional which takes into account the range of delay and by making use of some inequality techniques. Based on the interval time-varying delays, new stability criteria are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, three numerical examples and their simulations are given to show the effectiveness and advantages of our results.
