This paper deals with the stability analysis and fuzzy stabilizing controller design for a class of Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy singular systems with interval time-varying delay and linear fractional uncertainties. By decomposing the delay interval into two unequal subintervals and seeking a appropriate ρ, a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is constructed to develop the improved delay-dependent stability criteria, which ensures the considered system to be regular, impulse-free and stable. Furthermore, the desired fuzzy controller gains are also presented by solving a set of strict linear matrix inequalities. Compared with some existing results, the obtained ones give the result with less conservatism. Finally, some examples are given to show the improvement and the effectiveness of the proposed method.
