This study is cast in the realm of Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models and the ensuing TS controllers. More specifically, the model is governed by the rules \[ \text{if }x_1\text{ is }A\text{ and }x_2\text{ is }B\text{ and }\dots x_n\text{ is }G\text{ then } d{\mathbf x}/dt= A_i{\mathbf x}+ B_i{\mathbf u} \] (\(A\), \(B\) are fuzzy sets, \({\mathbf x}= [x_1x_2\cdots x_n]^T\) is a state vector). The fuzzy controller assumes the form \[ \text{if }x_1\text{ is }A\text{ and }x_2\text{ is }B\text{ and }\dots x_n\text{ is }G\text{ then }{\mathbf u}= -K_i{\mathbf x}. \] Closed-loop stability is investigated including LMI stability conditions. Next, fuzzy observers with the rules describing estimates of the state are studied. A principle of observer/controller separation is also formulated in this setting thus allowing for a separate design of the observer and controller gains.
