Event-triggered controller design for positive T-S fuzzy systems with random time-delay.

This paper is concerned with the design of event-triggered controller for positive Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with a random time-delay. The random time-delay is described as a Markov process. A controller switched at different event-triggered instant is proposed. By constructing a new event-triggered instant-dependent linear co-positive Lyapunov function, the design criteria of event-triggered controller is derived to ensure the positivity and stability of the closed-loop system. These criteria can be solved by linear programming (LP) technique. A positive lower bound on the inter-execution time is ensured, which means that there is Zeno-free phenomenon. Finally, the simulation has demonstrated the effectiveness and merit of the proposed results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
