Non-linear control system design via fuzzy modelling and LMIs
The method of fuzzy-model-based control has emerged as an alternative approach to the solution of analysis and synthesis problems associated with plants that exhibit complex non-linear behaviour. At present, the literature in this field has addressed the control design problem related to the stabilization of state-space fuzzy models. In practical situations, however, when perturbations exist in the state-space model, the problem becomes one of robust stabilization that has yet to be posed and solved. The present paper contributes in this direction through the development of a framework that exploits the distinctive property of the fuzzy model as the convex hull of linear system matrices. Using such a quasi-linear model structure, the robust stabilization of complex non-linear systems, against modelling error and parametric uncertainty, based on static state or dynamic output feedback, is reduced to a linear matrix inequality (LMI) problem.
