An LMI approach to robust controller designs of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems with parametric uncertainties

This paper proposes a new robust stability condition for Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy control system with parametric uncertainties. The condition is represented in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and is less conservative than some relaxed quadratic stabilization conditions published recently in the literature by collecting the interrelations of fuzzy subsystems into a set of matrices, not just into a single matrix. Based on the LMI-based conditions derived, one can easily synthesize controllers for state feedback robust stabilization for T-S fuzzy control system with parametric uncertainties. Since only a set of LMIs is involved, the controller design is quite simple and numerically tractable. Finally, the validity of the proposed approach is successfully demonstrated in the the control of simulation table.
