Robust fuzzy \(H_\infty\) output feedback control for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems with mixed time delays (Q459627)

Summary: This paper studies the problem of delay-dependent robust \(H_\infty\) output feedback control for a class of uncertain fuzzy neutral systems with both discrete and distributed delays. The system is described by a state-space Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model with distributed delays and norm-bounded parameter uncertainties. The purpose is to design a fuzzy dynamic output feedback controller which ensures the robust asymptotic stability of the closed-loop fuzzy neutral system and satisfies an \(H_\infty\) norm bound constraint for all admissible uncertainties. In terms of linear matrix inequalities, sufficient conditions for the solvability of this problem are presented. Finally, a numerical example is included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
