Abstract—This paper is concerned with robust stabilization and
control of a class of uncertain discrete-time fuzzy systems.
The class of uncertain systems is described by a state space
Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models with linear nominal parts and
norm-bounded parameter uncertainties in the state and output
equations. First, a sufficient condition on robust stability of the
fuzzy models is proposed. Then, -disturbance attenuation
performance of the fuzzy models is analyzed. Some sufficient
conditions are derived on robust -disturbance attenuation in
which both robust stability and a prescribed performance
are required to be achieved, irrespective of the uncertainties.
Numerical example shows the use of the results on the stabilization
and -disturbance attenuation of a class of discrete-time
nonlinear systems via fuzzy switch.

I. INTRODUCTION
MODELING and control of nonlinear dynamical systems
is one of the most challenging areas of system and con-
trol theory. Fuzzy logic control [21] is an effective approach to
obtain nonlinear control systems, especially in the presence of
incomplete knowledge of the plant or even of the precise control
action appropriate to a given situation. It has found successful
applications not only in consumer products but also in industrial
processes (see, e.g., [5], [8] and the references cited therein). Re-
cently, a nonlocal approach, which is conceptually simple and
straightforward is proposed for nonlinear systems design via
fuzzy control [12], [13], [18]. The procedure is as follows. First,
the nonlinear plant is represented by a so-called Takagi–Sugeno
(TS) type fuzzy model. In this type of fuzzy model, local dy-
namics in different state space regions are represented by linear
models. The overall model of the system is achieved by fuzzy
“blending” of these fuzzy models. The control design is car-
ried out based on the fuzzy models via the so-called parallel
distributed compensation (PDC) scheme [13], [18]. The idea
is that for each local linear model, a linear feedback control is
designed. The resulting overall controller, which is, in general,
nonlinear is again a fuzzy blending of each individual linear con-
troller. Their works introducethe model-based analysis methods
into fuzzy logic control.

One of the most important requirements for a control system
is the so-called robustness. In the past 20 years, considerable at-
tention has been paid to the problems of robust stabilization and
robust performance of uncertain dynamical systems (see, e.g.,
[22], [24]). Since the pioneering work on the so-called -op-
timal control theory [22], there has been a dramatic progress
in -control theory [24]. Recently, the problem of nonlinear
control has been intensively studied (see, e.g., [17], [11],
[10]). On the other hand, robust control for both linear
and nonlinear systems has recently been studied (see, e.g., [6],
[4], [19], [20] and the references therein). For example, the
problem of robust stabilization and robust disturbance attenu-
ation is investigated by [19], [2] for continuous-time systems
with linear nominal parts and norm-bounded nonlinear uncer-
tainties on both state and control inputs using the Riccati equa-
tion approach and LMI-based approach.
Since TS fuzzy models are usually used to describe com-
plex nonlinear systems, there may be uncertainties resulting not
only from the modeling procedure, but also from inherent un-
certainties in the real system. In this paper, we will consider
robust control for a class of TS fuzzy models including nom-
inal model which has been constructed or identified and per-
turbed models differing from the nominal one by some type of
perturbations. The class of uncertain models are described by a
state–space model with linear nominal parts and time-varying
norm-bounded parameter uncertainty in the system matrices.
In [19], it is shown that some nonlinear uncertainties can also
be described by this form (see also [6], [4], [20]). In [7] and
[23], the modeling error associated with fuzzy models has been
characterized as a norm-bounded uncertainty. In fact, existence
of modeling error may be a potential source of instability for
control designs that have been based on the assumption that
the fuzzy model exactly matches the plant [9]. In this paper,
we will address the issue of robust stability in the presence
of norm-bounded uncertainty. Some sufficient conditions under
which the fuzzy model-based system is robust against the norm-
bounded uncertainty will be derived. Another important propose
of this paper is the robust -performance analysis and de-
sign of the fuzzy model-based discrete-time nonlinear systems.
We address the problem of robust -disturbance attenuation
for a class of discrete-time uncertain TS fuzzy models in which
both robust stability and a prescribed performance are re-
quired to be achieved, irrespective of the uncertainties. In [14],
the authors considered the robust stabilization problem using
-control approach for continuous-time TS fuzzy models,
i.e., the robust stabilization problem has been transformed to an
associated -control problem. In this paper, the robust sta-
bilization problem and robust -control problem will be di-
rectly addressed using linear matrix inequality approach.

Thepaper isorganizedas follows.Definitions and preliminary
results are given in Section II for uncertain discrete-time fuzzy
nonlinear systems. Then robust stability and robust -distur-
banceattenuationperformanceareanalyzedin Sections III. Some
sufficient conditions on stabilizability and disturbance at-
tenuation of the fuzzy nonlinear systems are derived in Sections
IV. In Section V, results are extended to robust stabilization and
-disturbance attenuation for the uncertain fuzzy nonlinear
systems. The development is based on the feasibility of certain
LMI’s. In Section VI, a numerical example is proposed to show
the effectiveness of results on stabilization and -disturbance
attenuationfor thenonlinear systemsvia fuzzyswitch. Thepaper
is concluded in Section VII.

II. PROBLEM STATEMENT
A general multivariable uncertain nonlinear system can be
represented as a fuzzy plant model with uncertainties. As in
[12], a TS fuzzy model with uncertainty is composed of plant
rules that can be represented as [7], [9], and [23].

this paper that the premise variables do not explicitly depend
on the input variables .
We assume that the time-varying uncertainties enter the
system matrices in (4) and (5) as shown at the bottom of the
page, where , , , , and are some constant
matrices of compatible dimensions and , ,

matrix functions of compatible dimensions representing

known nonlinear time-varying matrix functions satisfying

some nonlinear uncertainties (see [4], [6], [19] and the refer-
ences therein).

The design of state feedback fuzzy controller is to determine
the local feedback gains such that the following closed-loop
system is stable in large:

Remark 1: It can be seen that the closed-loop fuzzy system
described by (12) and (13) can be further simplified if the sub-
system in each rule of the fuzzy plant model possesses common
input matrices and , namely , for all
. At this time, the closed-loop system can be simplified as
For simplicity, when system (8) and (9) is such that ,it
is referred to as an unforced fuzzy system, while when ,
it is referred to as a disturbance-free fuzzy system. In the case
when the uncertainties , it is referred to as the nom-
inal fuzzy system. In [12], [13], and [18], the authors considered
the stability problem of the nominal disturbance-free fuzzy sys-
tems. In this paper, we will first consider the robust stability and
the performance analysis of the unforced fuzzy system (8)
and (9) for (the open-loop case). The stability of
equilibrium point will be studied.
Definition 1: The unforced nominal fuzzy system (8) and
(9) is said to be stable with -disturbance attenuation if for all
, , the equilibrium of the disturbance-free
fuzzy system is asymptotically stable and the response of
the system under the zero initial condition satisfies

where is the prescribed level of disturbance attenuation.
The unforced uncertain fuzzy system (8) and (9) is said to be
robust stable with -disturbance attenuation if it is stable with
-disturbance attenuation for all admissible uncertainty .
Definition 2: For a given control law (11) and a prescribed
level of disturbance attenuation to be achieved, the nom-
inal fuzzy system (8) and (9) is said to be stabilizable with
-disturbance attenuation if for all , , the
closed-loop disturbance-free system (8), (9), and (11) is asymp-
totically stable and the response under the zero initial con-
dition satisfies (14). The uncertain closed-loop fuzzy system (8),
(9), and (11) is said to be robust stabilizable with -disturbance
attenuation if it is stabilizable with -disturbance attenuation for
all admissible uncertainty .
First we will derive the robust stability condition of unforced
disturbance-free fuzzy systems (8), i.e.,
(15)
Some sufficient conditions for ensuring robust stability of fuzzy
system (15) will be derived using Lyapunov approach as in [13].
Amongst other things, we are concerned with the design of a
fuzzy controller (11) such that the closed-loop fuzzy system (8),
(9), and (11) is robust stable with -disturbance attenuation. In
the paper, we assume that perfect observation of are available
at time .
To facilitate development, we state the following lemma
which can be established easily [3].

dimensions with . Then for and scalar

In this section, we will first analyze the stability and per-
formance of nominal unforced fuzzy system (8) and (9). Then a
sufficient condition on robust stabilization and robust -dis-
turbance attenuation performance will be derived for the uncer-
tain unforced fuzzy systems. The following lemma was proved
in [13].

bance-free fuzzy system (15) is globally asymptotically stable
if there exists a common matrix such that

Proof: Obviously, inequality (17) implies the following
inequality:
This means that the inequality (16) holds and, hence, the
stability of the disturbance-free fuzzy system is proven from
Lemma 2.

The above results can be easily proven based on the technique
of [20] and, hence, the proofs are omitted.

In this section, we consider the control design for the
nominal fuzzy system. Under control law (10), the closed-loop
fuzzy system becomes

lowing, we will define , .

state feedback fuzzy control law (11) such that the closed-loop
system is stable with -disturbance attenuation; that is,

matrix satisfying the following coupled matrix inequali-
ties:

tion we can find that for any nonzero

attenuation can be constructed as .
Proof: This result can be proved based on the Schur com-
plement from Theorem 4.
The above theorems are derived from the stability and per-
formance analysis of the closed-loop fuzzy system. The state
feedback fuzzy control law design is reduced to a problem of
finding a common Lyapunov matrix satisfying
some (maximum: ) matrix inequalities. If is large, it
might be difficult to find the matrix satisfying the condition of
the above theorems. In [15], a relaxed stability conditions is pro-
posed for fuzzy control design. In the following, we extend the
results to fuzzy control design. The following two lemmas
were proved in [15].

closed-loop uncertain fuzzy system becomes

closed-loop system is robust stable with -disturbance attenua-
tion if the following inequalities hold

VI. NUMERICAL EXAMPLE
To illustrate the proposed results, consider the backing-up
control of a computer-simulated truck-trailer, which is borrowed
from [16], [1]. The truck-trailer model is formulated as
(41)
(42)
(43)
Equations (41) and (42) are linear, but (43) is nonlinear. The
model parameters are given as , , ,
. Weuse the following fuzzy models to design the fuzzy
controller:
Rule 1: IF is about

Rule 2: IF is about or

[16], we set and the membership functions as
When we do not consider the uncertainties and , the
nonlinear fuzzy model is given by

.
Obviously, fuzzy model (48) is an universal approximation of
(43). The modeling error between (43) and (48) is
(49)
which is shown in Fig. 1.
In fact, we can capture the dynamics of a nonlinear system
within any specified accuracy, i.e., , is a
predetermined tolerance. The higher the precision of the model,
however, the larger the number of the local models in the ag-
gregation. Attempts to maintain a relatively small number of
local models inevitably introduce modeling error into the fuzzy
models (8) and (9). In most of the references, such as [9], [12],
[13], only the stability is addressed for the fuzzy models (8), but
not for the original nonlinear systems. In [1], [16] fuzzy control
law is designed for the fuzzy models (46)–(48), but not directly
for the original nonlinear system . The closed-loop stability
of the fuzzy system (46)–(48) and fuzzy control law (11) can
be guaranteed by their design methods, however, the stability of
the closed-loop nonlinear system (41)–(43) and fuzzy control
law (11) cannot be guaranteed in general. In above references,
it is only checked by simulation. In the following, we will give
a designed approach to guarantee that the closed-loop nonlinear
system (41)–(43) and fuzzy control law (11) is stable.
In the above uncertain fuzzy models, the uncertainty to de-
scribe the modeling error is assumed to be in the form
where
The parameters and are to be determined. For simplicity,
we assume that . Hence, the uncertain nonlinear
fuzzy system is

VII. CONCLUSION
In this paper, we have studied robust stabilization and
-disturbance attenuation for uncertain discrete-time fuzzy
systems via linear matrix inequality approach. Sufficient con-
ditions on robust stabilizability and -disturbance attenuation
are presented based on coupled LMIs. The results can be used
to the stabilization and -disturbance attenuation for a class
of discrete-time nonlinear systems. Numerical example is
presented to show the effectiveness. The results can also be
easily extended to the systems with time-delay using so-called
Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional approach [2], [3].

The H-infinity stability analysis and delay-dependent Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy dynamic output feedback control are proposed for the T–S fuzzy discrete networked control systems with time-varying communication delay and multipath packet dropouts. T–S fuzzy model is employed to approximate the discrete networked control system with time-varying state delay and external disturbance. Stochastic system theory and Bernoulli probability distribution are employed to describe the time-varying communication delay and multipath packet dropouts. Delay-dependent T–S fuzzy dynamic output feedback controller is designed. The delay-dependent T–S fuzzy dynamic output feedback controller is employed to relax the design conditions and enhance the design flexibility. The delay-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, stochastic system theory and Bernoulli probability distribution are introduced to guarantee the stochastic mean-square stability and prescribed H-infinity performance. Some slack matrices are introduced to reduce the computation complexity. Finally, simulation examples are presented to show the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed methods.
... The fuzzy model of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) is an effective and universal approximator for a certain class of nonlinear dynamic systems. Therefore, in this paper, we use it to approximate nonlinear systems [32], [33]. We linearize the nonlinear systems over the true value of state and eliminate the base point error. ...

This paper is concerned with cyberattack detection in discrete-time, leader-following, nonlinear, multi-agent systems subject to unknown but bounded (UBB) system noises. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to approximate the nonlinear systems over the true value of the state. A distributed cyberattack detection method, based on a new fuzzy set-membership filtering method, which consists of two steps, namely a prediction step and a measurement update step, is developed for each agent to identify two types of cyberattacks at the time of their occurrence. The attacks are replay attacks and false data injection attacks affecting the leader-following consensus. We calculate an estimation ellipsoid set by updating the prediction ellipsoid set with the current sensor measurement data. Two criteria are provided to detect cyberattacks based on the intersection between the ellipsoid sets. If there is no intersection between the prediction set and the estimation set of an agent at the current time instant, a cyberattack on its sensors is declared. Control signal or communication signal data of an agent are under a cyberattack if its prediction set has no intersection with the estimation set updated at the previous time instant. Recursive algorithms for solving the consensus protocol and calculating the two ellipsoid sets for detecting attacks are proposed. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This article studies cyberattack detection in discrete-time leader-following nonlinear multiagent systems subject to unknown but bounded system noises. The Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model is used to approximate the nonlinear systems over the true value of the state. A new method is developed for simultaneous distributed cyberattack detection and leader-following consensus control. The method is based on a fuzzy set-membership filtering consisting of two steps: a prediction and a measurement update. An estimation ellipsoid set is found by updating the prediction ellipsoid set with the current sensor measurement data. Two criteria are provided to detect cyberattacks that inject malicious signals into sensor data, communication channel signals, and control signals based on the intersection between the ellipsoid sets. If there is no intersection between the prediction set and the estimation set of an agent at the current time instant, then a cyberattack on its sensors is declared. Control or communication signals of an agent are under a cyberattack if their prediction sets have no intersection with the estimation sets updated at the previous time instant. Recursive algorithms are proposed for solving the consensus protocol and calculating the two ellipsoid sets. Two cyberattack recovery mechanisms are introduced.
Chapter
In the past two decades, increasing attention has been paid to deal with the analysis and design problems for nonlinear networked systems based on Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model and some interesting results have been published in the open literature. In this monograph, some novel advances on the study of nonlinear networked systems based on T–S fuzzy model will be given. Firstly, the various robust control strategies for nonlinear networked systems with dynamic quantization are proposed. Secondly, the various filtering problems are addressed for nonlinear networked systems subject to multiple communication constraints. Thirdly, the various output feedback controller design methods are presented for nonlinear networked systems with various communication constraints. Fourthly, in the presence of quantization and event-triggered communication scheme, the tracking control and security filtering schemes are developed for nonlinear networked systems, respectively. Finally, the quantized fault detection and fault-tolerant control problems are considered for nonlinear networked systems.

In this article, a nonlinear disturbance observer‐based multiple‐model adaptive explicit model predictive control (NDO‐MMAEMPC) scheme is developed for a nonlinear MIMO system with parametric uncertainty as well as an external disturbance. The proposed method manages external disturbances without affecting the degree of smoothness of the control signals. Further, to cope with the unknown system uncertainty, blending‐based adaptive identification schemes are used for the same class of systems. For each identification model, an explicit nonlinear model predictive controller is computed off‐line for the corresponding model in advance, which saves computation power during operation. The generated control inputs from the set of explicit controllers are being blended online using adaptive weight. An extended Kalman filter algorithm is employed for the estimation of the unavailable states of the nonlinear system. Using an aerodynamic laboratory setup, the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm is verified.

In this paper, a nonlinear disturbance observer-based adaptive explicit nonlinear model predictive control scheme is proposed to compensate for external disturbance and parametric uncertainty for a class of nonlinear multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems. Here, the analytical solution of the proposed adaptive control scheme is developed by approximating the tracking errors and control efforts with the Taylor series expansion method. In this approach, a nonlinear disturbance observer is used to observe the unknown external disturbance of the system. To restrict the parameters from leaving the compact parameter space, an adaptive parameter estimator using projection-based parameter adaptation laws is used. The performance of the designed control technique is enhanced by incorporating the estimated disturbance and estimated system parameters in the updating control law. Using an aerodynamic laboratory set-up known as the twin-rotor MIMO system (TRMS), the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm has been verified. Simulation and real-time results show that the proposed control algorithm performs better than the existing control algorithm in the presence of unknown external disturbances and parameter uncertainties.

In our work, a methodology of systematic design with chaotic masking-based secure communications is presented to implement double encryption. Chaotic synchronization has encountered attacks by hackers in which attackers demodulate information through the public channel, and the safety of chaotic synchronization communication has thus been questioned in recent years. To block the attacks by hackers, this study combines chaotic synchronization with a Twofish encryption algorithm, thereby increasing the complexity of the cryptosystem. By doing so, a more secure communication system is achieved to efficaciously protect the ciphertext. Furthermore, the IGA is proposed in this study to effectively overcome the weakness of the traditional GA. The IGA-based fuzzy controller not only realizes the exponential synchronization, but also minimizes the disturbance attenuation level to achieve optimal H∞ performance. Finally, we give a numerical example to show the achievements of this study.

This paper examines the dynamics and control of a variable blade pitch wind turbine during extreme gust wind and subject to actuators saturation. The mathematical model of the wind turbine is derived using the Lagrange dynamics. The controller is formulated using the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model and utilizes the parallel distributor compensator to obtain the feedback control gain. The controller’s objective is to obtain the generator electromagnetic torque and the blade pitch angle to attenuate the external disturbances. The (T–S) fuzzy controller with disturbances rejection properties is developed using the linear matrix inequalities technic and solved as an optimization problem. The efficacy of the proposed (T–S) fuzzy controller is illustrated via numerical simulations.

Nonlinearities exist everywhere and the investigation on control problems for nonlinear systems is of both theoretical and practical significance. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy techniques, as one of the powerful model-based tools for dealing with control problems for nonlinear systems, have received considerable and persistent research attention during the recent decades. Based on the T-S fuzzy model, many complicated nonlinear control problems have been addressed in the literature. In this paper, we aim to provide a survey with respect to the T-S fuzzy control problems with complexities that are frequently encountered in the engineering practice. Firstly, the backgrounds of the fuzzy control and engineering-oriented complexities are discussed. The considered complexities are divided into traditional engineering-oriented ones and the network-induced ones. The former mainly includes time-delays, parameter uncertainties, sensor/actuator faults and the latter contains network-induced phenomena, communication protocols, event-triggered schemes and cyber-attacks. Then, the recent progress on the T-S fuzzy control problems subject to these complexities has been reviewed in details. Finally, based on the literature review, the conclusions are drawn and some possible future topics are given.

This paper deals with H∞ control problem for systems with parametric uncertainty in all matrices of the system and output equations. The parametric uncertainty under consideration is of a linear fractional form. Both the continuous and the discrete-time cases are considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions for quadratic stability with H∞ disturbance attenuation are obtained.

The problem of robustly stabilizing a linear uncertain system is considered with emphasis on the interplay between the time-domain results on the quadratic stabilization of uncertain systems and the frequency-domain results on H <sup>∞</sup> optimization. A complete solution to a certain quadratic stabilization problem in which uncertainty enters both the state and the input matrices of the system is given. Relations between these robust stabilization problems and H <sup>∞</sup> control theory are explored. It is also shown that in a number of cases, if a robust stabilization problem can be solved via Lyapunov methods, then it can be also be solved via H <sup>∞</sup> control theory-based methods

A mathematical tool to build a fuzzy model of a system where fuzzy implications and reasoning are used is presented. The premise of an implication is the description of fuzzy subspace of inputs and its consequence is a linear input-output relation. The method of identification of a system using its input-output data is then shown. Two applications of the method to industrial processes are also discussed: a water cleaning process and a converter in a steel-making process.
