This work addresses the problem of synchronizing pathological changes in a patient with coronary artery obstruction to the corresponding nominal coronary artery system (CAS) model. The CAS model is characterized by nonlinear terms, so the synchronization problem is transformed into an equivalent time-varying delay T-S fuzzy framework using the sector of nonlinearity approach. New bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs) conditions for robust stability analysis and dynamic output feedback gain synthesis are derived based on a less conservative condition for stability assessment of T-S fuzzy systems. A simple change of coordinate is used to solve the cross terms of the bilinearities, allowing the problem to be formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and solved using standard semi-definite programming. The effectiveness of the controller design approach is demonstrated through extensive simulations under diverse performance criterion that the controller can achieve.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
