Abstract This paper considers the problem of robust stability analysis for uncertain Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems with time-varying delays. By constructing an augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and utilizing Finsler’s Lemma, a novel criterion for delaydependent robust stability of T–S fuzzy model with time-varying delay is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Also, a further improved stability criterion is proposed by utilizing free weighting techniques. Finally, three numerical examples are included to show the superiority of the proposed criteria. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Since T–S fuzzy model [1] was first introduced, the stability analysis of the model has been paid much attentions because it is very important to check the stability of certain dynamic systems when T–S fuzzy control scheme is applied. The main advantage of T–S fuzzy model is that it can be applied as an efficient tool in approximating complex nonlinear systems. It combines the flexible fuzzy logic theory and rigorous mathematical theory of linear system into an unified framework to approximate nonlinear dynamics of complex systems [2]. On the other hand, time-delays often encounter in many industrial and engineering systems such as chemical processes, rolling mill systems, neural

networks, networked control systems and so on [3]. It is well known that time-delays can cause poor performance or instability. Therefore, the problem of delay-dependent stability and stabilization for T–S fuzzy systems with time-delays has been received great efforts by many researchers in recent years [2,4–13] because delay-dependent approaches are generally less conservative than delay-independent ones when the sizes of time-delays are small [14]. The main issue of delay-dependent stability and stabilization is to reduce the conservatism of stability and stabilization criteria. One of the important index for checking the conservatism is to enlarge the feasible region of the criteria or to get maximum delay bounds for guaranteeing the system stability. Hence, how to construct Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and obtain the stability and stabilization conditions by calculating upper bounds of time-derivative of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional play important roles to reduce the conservatism of the conditions. In this regard, Jeung et al. [6] proposed a delay-dependent control method by utilizing a descriptor model transformation and Park’s inequality [15]. Tian and Peng [7] derived new delay-dependent stability and stabilization criteria for uncertain T–S fuzzy systems with interval time-varying delays. The main contribution of the work [7] was that the proposed criteria allow fast time-varying delays, which mean the criteria do not need the information on derivative of the time delay. Improved robust stability and stabilization for uncertain T–S fuzzy time-delay systems without integral inequality technique [16] and model transformation method were studied in [8]. Based on a fuzzy Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and fuzzy free weighting matrices, the stability and stabilization problems for T–S fuzzy systems with timevarying delay were investigated in [9]. In Lien et al. [10], a simple analytic method with fewer free-weighted matrices was proposed for stability analysis of uncertain T–S fuzzy systems with interval time-varying delay. Recently, delaydependent stability analysis and H∞ control for uncertain T–S fuzzy systems with interval time-varying delays were conducted in [12]. Very recently, in [13], further improvements on delay-dependent stability analysis and synthesis of T–S fuzzy systems with time-varying delay is made by considering ignored terms in estimating upper bounds of the derivative of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional. However, there are still rooms for further improvements to enlarge the feasible region of stability criteria for T–S fuzzy systems with time-varying delays. In this paper, we revisit the problem of stability analysis for uncertain T–S fuzzy systems with time-varying delays. First, by constructing an augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and utilizing Finsler’s lemma, a delay-dependent stability condition without the use of free weighting matrices is derived in terms of LMIs, which will be introduced in Theorem 1. Inspired by the works of [17–20], a triple integral form of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is utilized. t  t−h(t) Also, new integral forms of states (1/ h(t)) t−h(t) x(s) ds and (1/(h U − h(t))) t−h U x(s) ds are taken as augmented vectors to include further information of time-varying delays. And based on the results of Theorem 1, a further improved stability criterion is proposed by utilizing free-weighting matrices. Through three numerical examples, the reduction of the conservatism of Theorem 1 will be shown by comparing with the results proposed in other literature. Finally, it will be presented that further enlargement of delay bounds can be made by a new result, Theorem 2. Notation. Rn is the n-dimensional Euclidean space, and Rm×n denotes the set of m × n real matrix. Cn,h = C([−h, 0], Rn ) stands for the Banach space of continuous functions mapping the interval [−h, 0] into Rn , with the topology of uniform convergence. For symmetric matrices X and Y, X > Y (respectively, X ⱖ Y ) means that the matrix X − Y is positive definite (respectively, nonnegative). In , 0n and 0m×n denotes n × n identity matrix, n × n and m × n zero matrices, respectively.  ·  refers to the Euclidean vector norm and the induced matrix norm. diag{· · ·} denotes the block diagonal matrix.  represents the elements below the main diagonal of a symmetric matrix. For a given matrix X ∈ Rm×n , such that rank(X ) = r , we define X ⊥ ∈ Rn×(n−r ) as the right orthogonal complement of X; i.e., X X ⊥ = 0. X [h(t)] ∈ Rm×n means that the elements of the matrix X includes the value of h(t); e.g., X [h U ] ≡ X [h(t)=h U ] . 2. Problem statements Consider the following uncertain T–S fuzzy systems with time-varying delays: Plant rule l : IF 1 (t) is l1 , . . ., and s (t) is ls , THEN x(t) ˙ = (Al + Al (t))x(t) + (Adl + Adl (t))x(t − h(t)), l = 1, 2, . . . , r., x(s) = (s), ∀s ∈ [−h U , 0], h U > 0,

where i (t)(i = 1, . . . , s) are the premise variables, and li (i = 1, . . . , s) are fuzzy sets, r is the number of IF–THEN rules, x(t) ∈ Rn is the state vector, (s) ∈ Cn,h is a given continuous vector valued initial function, Al ∈ Rn×n and Adl ∈ Rn×n are known constant matrices with appropriate dimensions, and Al (t) and Adl (t) are the system uncertainties of the form: [Al (t) Adl (t)] = D F(t)[El E dl ] (l = 1, . . . , r ),

in which the time-varying nonlinear function F(t) satisfies F T (t)F(t) ⱕ I, ∀t ⱖ 0.

The time-varying delay h(t) is a continuous function that satisfies ˙ ⱕ h D, 0 ⱕ h(t) ⱕ h U , h(t)

(4)

where h U is a positive scalar and h D is an any constant one. Using the center-average defuzzifier, product interference and singleton fuzzifier, the global dynamics of the T–S fuzzy system (1) can be inferred as follows: r wl ((t))[(Al + Al (t))x(t) + (Adl + Adl (t))x(t − h(t))] r x(t) ˙ = l=1 l=1 wl ((t)) r  = l ((t))[(Al + Al (t))x(t) + (Adl + Adl (t))x(t − h(t))] (5) l=1

with (t) = [1 (t), . . . , s (t)], wl ((t)) =

s  i=1

wl ((t)) , li (i (t)), l ((t)) = r l=1 wl ((t))

(6)

where li (i (t)) is the grade of membership value of i (t) in li . It is assumed that wl ((t)) ⱖ 0,

r 

wl ((t)) > 0.

(7)

l=1

Then, we have the following conditions: l ((t)) ⱖ 0,

r 

l ((t)) = 1.

Then, system (5) can be rewritten as: ˆ x(t) ˙ = Ax(t) + Aˆ d x(t − h(t)) + Dp(t), p(t) = F(t)q(t), q(t) = Eˆ x(t) + Eˆ d (t − h(t)). The aim of this paper is to derive novel robust delay-dependent stability conditions for system (10).

Before deriving our main results, we give the following facts and lemmas. Fact 1 (Schur Complement, Boyd et al. [21]). Given constant matrices 1 , 2 , 3 with 1 = 1T and 0 < 2 , then 1 + 3T −1 2 3 < 0 if and only if     −2 3 1 3T < 0 or < 0. (11) 3 −2 3T 1 Fact 2 (Park [15]). For any real vectors a, b and any matrix Q > 0 with appropriate dimensions, we have ± 2a T b ⱕ a T Qa + b T Q −1 b.

(12)

Lemma 1 (Finsler’s lemma, de Oliveira and Skelton [22]). Let  ∈ Rn ,  = T ∈ Rn×n , and B ∈ Rm×n such that rank(B) < n. The following statements are equivalent: (i) T  < 0, ∀B = 0,   0, T (ii) B ⊥ B ⊥ < 0. (iii) ∃L ∈ Rn×m :  + LB + B T LT < 0. Lemma 2. For any constant matrix M ∈ Rn×n , M = M T > 0 and ⱕ s ⱕ , the following inequalities hold: 

T 



T x˙ (s)M x(s) ˙ ds ⱖ x(s) ˙ ds M x(s) ˙ ds , ( − )





 

T  

  ( − )2 T x˙ (u)M x(u) ˙ du ds ⱖ x(u) ˙ du ds M x(u)u ˙ ds . 2 s s s Proof. According to Jensen’s inequality in [16], one can obtain (13). Moreover, the following inequality holds

By using Fact 1, Eq. (15) is equivalent to the following inequality: 

 

T ˙ du s x˙ T (u) du s x˙ (u)M x(u) 

ⱖ 0. ˙ du ( − s)M −1 s x(u)

(16)

Integration of inequality (16) from to yields  

   T ˙ du ds s x˙ T (u) du ds s x˙ (u)M x(u)  



ⱖ 0. −1 ds ˙ du ds s x(u) ( − s)M

(17)

Therefore, the inequality (17) is equivalent to the inequality (14) according to Fact 1. This completes our proof.  Lemma 3. For any scalar h(t) ⱖ 0 and any constant matrix Q ∈ Rn×n , Q = Q T > 0, the following inequality holds:  t  t  t h 2 (t) T  (t)X Q −1 X T (t) + 2T (t)X x˙ T (s)Q x(s) ˙ ds ⱕ (x(t) − x(s)) ds, (18) − 2 t−h(t) s t−h(t) where

Therefore, the inequality (21) is equivalent to the inequality (18). This completes our proof.  3. Main results In this section, we propose new delay-dependent stability criteria for system (10).

For given scalars h U > 0 and h D , the system (10) is asymptotically stable for 0 ⱕ h(t) ⱕ h U and ˙ ⱕ h D , if there exist symmetric positive definite matrices R = [Ri j ]3×3 ∈ R3n×3n , N = [Ni j ]2×2 ∈ R2n×2n , h(t) G ∈ Rn×n , Q i (i = 1, 2, 3) ∈ Rn×n satisfying the following LMIs: T ⊥ ⊥ l 08n×n l 08n×n ( p) + ( p) lT < 08n , l = 1, . . . , r, (23) 0n×7n In 0n×7n In  − In where l( p) and ( p) for p = 1, 2 are the vertices of l[h(t)] and [h(t)] , respectively, and l⊥ is the right orthogonal complement of l . Proof. For positive definite matrices R = [Ri j ]3×3 , N = [Ni j ]2×2 , G, Q i (i = 1, 2, 3), let us choose the following Lyapunov–Krasovskii’s functional candidate as: V = V1 + V2 + V3 + V4 + V5 + V6 , where

where Lemma 2 was utilized in (35). Since the following inequality holds from (3) and (10), p T (t) p(t) ⱕ q T (t)q(t),

(36)

there exists a positive scalar satisfying the following inequality:

where (t) was defined in (19), and [h(t)] and [h(t)] were in (22), respectively. Also, the system (10) with the augmented vector (t) can be rewritten as: ˆ 0n×1 = (t), ˆ is defined in (22). where

Therefore, an asymptotic stability condition for system (10) can be ˆ T )(t) ˆ T (t)([h(t)] + [h(t)] + <0 ˆ subject to 0n×1 = (t).

Then, by utilizing the statements of (i) and (iii) of Lemma 1, for any matrix L(t) with appropriate dimension, the condition (41) is equivalent to ˆ T ˆ + L(t) ˆ + ˆ T LT (t) < 0.

By the convexity of h(t), we have

1 (t) = 1 −

h(t) h(t) , 2 (t) = . hU hU

(47)

Let us define H = {H (t) : 0 ⱕ h(t) ⱕ h U }.

(48)

Then, the vertex set Hvex is defined as: Hvex = {H : h(t) = 0 or h U }.

(49)

There are two elements in Hvex , and we can enumerate elements in Hvex by Hk , where k = 1, 2: H1 = 0, H2 = h U .

(50)

Since [h(t)] and [h(t)] are affinely dependent on h(t) ∈ H , respectively, [h(t)] and [h(t)] can be expressed as follows: [h(t)] + [h(t)] = (1 + 1 ) + h(t)(2 + 2 ) = (1 + 1 ) + [ 1 (t)H1 + 2 (t)H2 ](2 + 2 ) = (1 + 1 ) + [ 1 (t) · 0 + 2 (t) · h U ](2 + 2 ) = (1 + 1 ) + 1 (t)(0)(2 + 2 ) + 2 (t)(h U )(2 + 2 ), where i (i = 1, 2) and i (i = 1, 2) are defined in (22).

Note that 1 (t) + 2 (t) = 1 for h(t), and i (t) ⱖ 0 (i = 1, 2). Therefore, by utilizing the properties of convex-hull, inequality (46) holds if

Therefore, if LMIs (23) hold, then the inequality (41) holds, which means that system (10) is asymptotically stable. This completes our proof.  t  t−h(t) Remark 1. Our augmented vector (t) includes the states of (1/ h(t)) t−h(t) x(s) ds and (1/(h U −h(t))) t−h U x(s) ds. The motivation of this idea is that more information about h(t) may be utilized in delay-dependent stability condition of (23). Remark 2. Theorem 1 is derived by utilizing the Lyapunov–Krasovskii’s functional without free-weighting matrices. By considering free-weighting matrices, a further improved delay-dependent stability criterion can be derived, which will be introduced in Theorem 2. For the sake of simplicity in Theorem 2, we define the following notations: X T = [X 1T X 2T X 3T X 4T X 5T 0n 0n 0n ], Y T = [Y1T Y2T Y3T Y4T Y5T 0n 0n 0n ], Z T = [Z 1T 0n 0n 0n 0n Z 2T 0n 0n ], W T = [0n W1T 0n 0n 0n 0n W2T 0n ], ⎡

Remark 3. If G = 0 in both Theorems 1 and 2, one can easily obtain delay-dependent robust stability criteria for ˙ uncertain T–S fuzzy systems with fast time-varying delays, which do not need the information of h(t). Remark 4. In the field of delay-dependent stability, one of major concerns is to get maximum delay bounds with fewer decision variables [23–25]. By utilizing Finsler’s lemma, one can eliminate free variables which were used in zero T equalities in the works [24,25]. From Lemma 1, one can check that the B ⊥ B ⊥ < 0 is equivalent to the existence of L such that  + LB + B T LT < 0 holds. Insertion of such an additional matrix L does not play a role to reduce the T conservatism of B ⊥ B ⊥ < 0. It only increases the number of decision variables. Therefore, our proposed stability criteria are derived in the form of (ii) in Lemma 1. Furthermore, inspired by the work of [17–20], our approach utilized the triple integral forms of Lyapunov–Krasovskii’s functional. However, unlike the method of [20], different upper bound of V˙7 was taken to utilize more information about h(t) as mentioned in Remark 1, which may lead to less conservative results. 4. Numerical examples Example 1. Revisit an example studied in [7]: Rule 1: If (x2 (t)/0.5) is about 0, then x(t) ˙ = (A1 + A1 (t))x(t) + (Ad1 + Ad1 (t))x(t − h(t)) + B1 u(t); Rule 2: If (x2 (t)/0.5) is about  or −, then x(t) ˙ = (A2 + A2 (t))x(t) + (Ad2 + Ad2 (t))x(t − h(t)) + B2 u(t), where       0 1 0 1 0.1 0 , A2 = , Ad1 = Ad2 = , = 0.01/, A1 = 0.1 −2 0.1 −0.5 − 1.5 0.1 −0.2       −0.03 0 0 −0.15 0.2 , E1 = E2 = B1 = B2 = , D= , 0 0.03 1 0 0.04   −0.05 −0.35 E d1 = E d2 = . 0.08 −0.45

2 Assume that control law is u(t) = l=1 l ((t))K l x(t) and the controller gains K 1 and K 2 are known. Since the input matrices Bl (l = 1, 2) are same at each rule, the closed-loop system can be represented as x(t) ˙ =

l ((t))m ((t)){(Al + Al (t) + Bl K m )x(t) + (Adl + Adl (t))x(t − h(t))}.

When h D is unknown and Al (t) = Adl (t) = 0(l = 1, 2), maximum delay bounds obtained by Theorems 1 and 2 with the controller gains [7,12] are listed as Table 1. When h D = 0 and Al (t) = Adl (t) = 0(l = 1, 2), the obtained results are shown in Table 2 with the controller gains [11,12]. Lastly, when h D = 0 and Al (t) = Adl (t) is not zero, the comparison of our results with those of [11,12] is conducted as shown in Table 3. From the tables, one can see our proposed Theorems 1 and 2 significantly improve feasible region of stability criteria, which enlarge maximum delay bounds for guaranteeing the system stability. Fig. 1 shows the simulation results of system (69) when Al (t) = Adl (t) = 0, h(t) = h U = 100, K 1 = [−0.9318 0.1265], K 2 = [−0.9318 − 1.3687] and x T (0) = [1 − 0.5].

With different h D , the obtained maximum delay bounds by applying Theorems 1 and 2 are listed in Table 4. Also, the results of [7–9,13] are included in Table 4. From this table, one con confirm that our proposed theorems provide larger delay bounds than those of [7–9,13]. Example 3.

The delay bounds obtained in [7,10,12] and our results are shown in Table 5. From Table 5, one can confirm both Theorems 1 and 2 give enhanced delay bounds than the ones in [7,10,12].

5. Conclusions In this paper, two delay-dependent robust stability conditions for uncertain T–S fuzzy systems with time-varying delays have been presented as Theorems 1 and 2. In Theorem 1, by constructing the augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional including triple integral term and utilizing Finsler’s Lemma, the new condition for robust stability of the concerned systems were derived in terms of LMIs without including free-weighting matrices. Also, based on the result of Theorem 1, further improved results with free-weighting matrices were introduced in Theorem 2. The three numerical examples show that Theorems 1 and 2 significantly provide larger delay bounds than those of other literatures. This implies that our proposed criteria make enhancement of feasible region of stable conditions. References [1] T. Takagi, M.
