Stability analysis of the simplest Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy control system using circle criterion

Abstract

In this paper, we present two sufficient conditions in the frequency domain for the global stability analysis of the simplest Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy control system, based on the circle criterion and its graphical interpretation. These conditions are significant in graphically designing the simplest T-S fuzzy controller in the frequency domain. Four numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of our two frequency domain-based conditions. Furthermore, this T-S fuzzy controller and the linear proportional controllers are also compared. It is concluded that the simplest T-S fuzzy controller can outperform the linear proportional controllers in a noisy environment with external disturbances. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
