In this study, the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy impulsive control problem is investigated for a class of nonlinear positive systems with time delay. The time delay under consideration is both in the continuous-time dynamics and at the impulsive instants, which can model practical systems more accurately. An impulse-time-dependent copositive Lyapunov function (IDCLF) is constructed, and the Razumikhin technique is adopted to develop conditions that ensure the globally exponential stability of T-S fuzzy positive systems with delayed impulses. The size constraint between the impulse delay and the bound of impulsive intervals is removed. A T-S fuzzy impulsive controller is designed in terms of the solutions to certain vector inequalities that are readily solvable. Numerical examples and a practical example of lipoprotein metabolism and potassium ion transfer model are given to demonstrate the effectiveness, advantages, and practicality of the proposed results.

Summary This paper is concerned with the design and the synthesis of the impulsive positive observer (IPO) for positive linear continuous systems. The IPO can estimate the states for positive systems even when the measured output is only available at discrete‐time instants. In this paper, a time‐varying weighted copositive Lyapunov function is constructed, and the upper and lower bounds of impulsive intervals method combined with the convex combination technique are used to establish sufficient conditions for the existence of the IPO. Furthermore, the design of the dynamic output feedback controller based on the IPO is addressed to positively stabilize positive linear systems. Algorithms are given to design the IPO and the controller, respectively. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
