Dynamic output feedback H∞ control of discrete-time fuzzy systems: A fuzzy-basis-dependent Lyapunov function approach

Abstract

This article deals with an output feedback H∞ control problem for a class of discrete-time fuzzy dynamic systems. A full-order dynamic output feedback H∞ control design approach is developed by combining a fuzzy-basis-dependent Lyapunov function and a transformation on the controller parameters, which leads to sufficient conditions in the form of strict linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The fuzzy-basis-dependent results are less conservative due to the generality of the fuzzy-basis-dependent Lyapunov function used which includes the fuzzy-basis-independent one as a special case. It has been shown that the underling full-order dynamic output feedback H ∞ control problem can be solved as LMI optimization problems that can be computed numerically very efficiently. Finally, two numerical examples, concerning the control of a discrete-time chaotic Lorenz system and an inverted pendulum, are given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.
