Continuous Stability TS Fuzzy Systems Novel Frame Controlled by a Discrete Approach and Based on SOS Methodology

Abstract

Generally, the continuous and discrete TS fuzzy systems’ control is studied independently. Unlike the discrete systems, stability results for the continuous systems suffer from conservatism because it is still quite difficult to apply non-quadratic Lyapunov functions, something which is much easier for the discrete systems. In this paper and in order to obtain new results for the continuous case, we proposed to connect the continuous with the discrete cases and then check the stability of the continuous TS fuzzy systems by means of the discrete design approach. To this end, a novel frame was proposed using the sum of square approach (SOS) to check the stability of the continuous Takagi Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models based on the discrete controller. Indeed, the control of the continuous TS fuzzy models is ensured by the discrete gains obtained from the Euler discrete form and based on the non-quadratic Lyapunov function. The simulation examples applied for various models, by modifying the order of the Euler discrete fuzzy system, are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
