Sampled-data control for nonlinear singular systems based on a Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model
The sampled-data admissibility problem for nonlinear singular systems in Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy models is discussed. By adding some novel terms, a novel fuzzy time-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is proposed to fully capture the available characteristics of the actual sampling pattern. Sufficient conditions are derived to determine the regularity, absence of impulses and asymptotic stability of the system by using Lyapunov stability theorems. Then, the fuzzy sampled-data controller is obtained by analysing the admissible condition. One practical example involving a truck–trailer system is considered. It is shown that the proposed method and the designed controller for the system are effective and that less conservativeness can be obtained.
