The paper deals with stability of fuzzy controllers, namely Sugeno-Takagi ones. The latter are considered to be in the standardized form \[ f_i(y) = \frac {\sum _{\alpha }u_{\alpha }^{(i)}(y)\cdot a_{\alpha }^t(y)} {\sum _{\alpha } a_{\alpha }^t(y)} \] for each \(i\)-th output from the \(i\)-th rule (cf. the book [\textit{D. Driankov, H. Hellendoorn} and \textit{M. Reinfrank}, An introduction to fuzzy control, Springer-Verlag, Berlin (1993; Zbl 0789.93088)]). The author finds a linearization formula for the above controller provided that specific (and quite common) assumptions for the membership functions are fulfilled. On the basis of this he proves existence of stability intervals for certain parameters of the fuzzy controller and accompanies the theory by a numerical example.
