This paper is concerned with non-quadratic stabilization of continuous-time Takagi-Sugeno (TS) models. The well-known problem of handling time-derivatives of membership functions (MFs) as to obtain conditions in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is overcome by reducing global goals to the estimation of a region of attraction. Instead of parallel distributed compensation (PDC), a non-PDC control law is proposed according to the non-quadratic nature of the Lyapunov function. Examples are provided to show the advantages over the quadratic and some non-quadratic approaches.

This article presents a direct adaptive fuzzy control scheme for a class of uncertain continuous-time multi-input multi-output nonlinear (MIMO) dynamic systems. Within this scheme, fuzzy systems are employed to approximate an unknown ideal controller that can achieve control objectives. The adjustable parameters of the used fuzzy systems are updated using a gradient descent algorithm that is designed to minimize the error between the unknown ideal controller and the fuzzy controller. The stability analysis of the closed-loop system is performed using a Lyapunov approach. In particular, it is shown that the tracking errors are bounded and converge to a neighborhood of the origin. Simulations performed on a two-link robot manipulator illustrate the approach and exhibit its performance.

In this paper, we present a new scheme for designing a H∞ stabilizing controller for discrete‐time Takagi‐Sugeno fuzzy systems with actuator saturation and external disturbances. The weighting‐dependent Lyapunov functions approach is used to design a robust static output‐feedback controller. To address the input saturation problem, both constrained and saturated control input cases are considered. In both cases, stabilization conditions of the fuzzy system are formulated as a convex optimization problem in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Two simulation examples are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design methods. A comparison with the results given in recent literature on the subject is also presented.
