Improved Delay-Dependent Stability and Stabilization Conditions of T-S Fuzzy Time-Delay Systems via an Augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii Functional Approach

This paper develops some improved stability and stabilization conditions of T-S fuzzy system with constant time-delay and interval time-varying delay with its derivative bounds available, respectively. These conditions are presented by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and derived by applying an augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) approach combined with a canonical Bessel-Legendre (B-L) inequality. Different from the existing LKFs, the proposed LKF involves more state variables in an augmented way resorting to the form of the B-L inequality. The B-L inequality is also applied in ensuring the positiveness of the constructed LKF and the negativeness of derivative of the LKF. By numerical examples, it is verified that the obtained stability conditions can ensure a larger upper bound of time-delay, the larger number of Legendre polynomials in the stability conditions can lead to less conservative results, and the stabilization condition is effective, respectively.
