This paper investigates the robust and reliable
decentralized H∞ tracking control issue for the fuzzy large-scale
interconnected systems with time-varying delay, which are composed
of a number of T-S fuzzy subsystems with interconnections.
Firstly, the ordinary fuzzy interconnected systems are equivalently transformed to the fuzzy descriptor systems; then, according to
the Lyapunov direct method and the decentralized control theory
of large-scale interconnected systems, the new linear matrix
inequalities- (LMIs-) based conditions with some free variables
are derived to guarantee the H∞ tracking performance not only
when all control components are operating well, but also in the
presence of some possible actuator failures. Moreover, there is no
need for the precise failure parameters of the actuators, rather than
the lower and upper bound. Finally, two simulation examples are
provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
