IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON FUZZY SYSTEMS, VOL. 9, NO. 2, APRIL 2001 369 Robust Fuzzy Control of Nonlinear Systems with Parametric Uncertainties Ho Jae Lee, Jin Bae Park, and Guanrong Chen Abstract—This paper addresses the robust fuzzy control problem for nonlinear systems in the presence of parametric uncertainties. The Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is adopted for fuzzy modeling of the nonlinear system. Two cases of the T–S fuzzy system with parametric uncertainties, both continuous-time and discrete-time cases are considered. In both continuous-time and discrete-time cases, sufficient conditions are derived for robust stabilization in the sense of Lyapunov asymptotic stability, for the T–S fuzzy system with parametric uncertainties. The sufficient conditions are formulated in the format of linear matrix inequalities. The T–S fuzzy model of the chaotic Lorenz system, which has complex nonlinearity, is developed as a test bed. The effectiveness of the proposed controller design methodology is finally demonstrated through numerical simulations on the chaotic Lorenz system. Index Terms—Chaotic Lorenz system, fuzzy control, linear matrix inequality, parametric uncertainties, robust stability. I. INTRODUCTION M OST plants in the industry have severe nonlinearity and uncertainties. Thus, they post additional difficulties to the control theory of general nonlinear systems and the design of their controllers. In order to overcome these kinds of difficulties in the design of a controller for an uncertain nonlinear system, various schemes have been developed in the last two decades, among which a successful approach is fuzzy control. Recently, fuzzy control has attracted increasing attention, essentially because it can provide an effective solution to the control of plants that are complex, uncertain, ill-defined, and have available qualitative knowledge from domain experts for their controllers design. In spite of the usefulness of fuzzy control, its main drawback comes from the lack of a systematic control design methodology. Particularly, stability analysis of a fuzzy system is not easy, and parameter tuning is generally a time-consuming procedure, due to the nonlinear and multiparametric nature of the fuzzy control systems. To resolve these problems, the idea that a linear system is adopted as the consequent part of a fuzzy rule has evolved into the innovative T–S model [1], which becomes quite popular today. For a few years, the trend of fuzzy control has been to develop some systematic design algorithms so as to guarantee the control performance and system stability for the T–S fuzzy-model-based controllers [2]–[14]. As a common belief, the T–S fuzzy-model-based control technique is simple and effective Manuscript received March 3, 2000; revised August 29, 2000. This work was supported by Brain Korea 21 Project.

Besides stability, another important requirement for a control system is its robustness and this remains to be a central issue in the study of uncertain nonlinear control systems and their controllers design. Robustness in fuzzy model-based control has been extensively studied in the past. For example, Kiriakidis [7] studied the issue of stability robustness against modeling errors in T–S fuzzy model-based control. Motivated by the aforementioned concerns, this paper deals with the parametric uncertainties issue in a nonlinear system with the T–S fuzzy-model-based. The parametric uncertainties are principal factors responsible for the degraded stability and performance of an uncertain nonlinear control system. In fact, in many cases it is very difficult, if not impossible, to obtain the accurate values of some system parameters. This is due to the inaccurate measurement, unaccessibility to the system parameters or on-line variation of the parameters. Therefore, this has promoted some active research in the last few years [17], [18]. Clearly, it is also very important to consider the robust stability against parametric uncertainties in the T–S fuzzy-model-based control systems. The main contribution of this paper is some sufficient conditions in the linear-matrix inequality (LMI) format and a systematic design procedure for the controller design for a general nonlinear system with parametric uncertainties, for both continuous-time and discrete-time T–S fuzzy systems. Specifically, this paper proposes some new solutions to the robust stabilization problem for a class of nonlinear systems with time-varying, but norm-bounded parametric uncertainties. The chaotic Lorenz system is used as a platform for illustration of the proposed ideas, techniques, and procedures. Based on the exact fuzzy modeling technique [19], [20], the T–S fuzzy model is developed. Here, the word “exact” means that the defuzzified output of the constructed T–S fuzzy model is mathematically identical to that of the original nonlinear system. Here, again, the Lorenz system is used for study, chaos is not the main concern; the developed continuous-time and discrete-time T–S fuzzy models of the Lorenz system are used for controller design. The Lorenz system is a good platform to use because of its long-time unpredictable dynamical behavior [21]. To that end, some sufficient conditions for stabilization of both the developed continuous-time and discrete-time T–S fuzzy models are derived, subject to system parametric uncertainties. The stability conditions for nominal nonlinear systems given in [20] are extended here to general nonlinear systems with parametric uncertainties, which are likewise formulated in the LMI format. The overall proposed design methodology presents a systematic and effective framework for continuous-time and discrete-time control of complex dynamic systems such as chaotic systems. 1063–6706/01$10.00 © 2001 IEEE Authorized licensed use limited to: UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE NUEVO LEON.

PRELIMINARIES In this section, we first discuss two kinds of T–S fuzzy models—continuous-time and discrete-time models. In order to consider parametric uncertainties in the T–S fuzzy systems, we propose the continuous-time T–S fuzzy system in which the th rule is formulated in the following form: Continuous-time T-S fuzzy model: Plant Rule : is and and Next, a fuzzy model of a state-feedback controller for the continuous-time T–S fuzzy model is formulated as follows: Controller Rule : is and and is (4) are constant control gains to be determined. where Similarly to the continuous-time case, the discrete-time T–S fuzzy model and the corresponding discrete-time T–S fuzzy model-based state-feedback controller is constructed as follows: Discrete-time fuzzy model: Plant Rule : is and and is (5) Controller Rule : is and is and is (1) (6) is a fuzzy set, is the state vector, where is the control input vector, and are system matrix and input matrix, respectively, and are time-varying matrices with appropriate dimensions, which represent parametric uncertainties in the plant model, and is the number of rules of this T–S fuzzy model. The defuzzified output of the T–S fuzzy system (1) is represented as follows: denote the indexes of the time steps. where and Since the plant rules (1) and (5) have time-varying uncertain matrices, it is not easy to design the controller gain matrices. In order to find these gain matrices , the uncertain matrices should be removed under some reasonable assumptions. Hereand forth we assume, as usual, that the uncertain matrices are admissibly norm-bounded and structured. Assumption 1: The parameter uncertainties considered here are norm-bounded, in the form (2) where , , and are known real constant matrices is an unknown matrix of appropriate dimensions, and function with Lebesgue-measurable elements and satisfies , in which is the identity matrix of appropriate dimension. where III.

The main result on the global asymptotic stability of the continuous-time T–S fuzzy model with parametric uncertainties is summarized in the following theorem Theorem 1: If there exist a symmetric and positive definite , and some scalars , ( matrix , some matrices such that the following LMIs are satisfied, then the continuous-time T–S fuzzy system (7) is asymptotically stabilizable via the T–S fuzzy model-based state-feedback controller (8): By substituting (9) into (13), we get (14), shown at the bottom of the next page. If the time derivative of (13) is negative definite and for all except at then uniformly for all the controlled fuzzy system (9) is asymptotically stable about its zero equilibrium. Therefore, if it is possible to assume each sum of the second equation in (14) to be negative definite, respectively, then the controlled continuous-time T–S fuzzy system is asymptotically stable. First, assume that the first sum of the last equation in (14) is negative definite (15) Then, applying Assumption 1 to (15) yields (a) (16) (10) where (b) (11) According to Lemma 1, the matrix inequality (16) holds for all satisfying , if and only if there exists a such that constant where and and , where denotes the transposed elements in the symmetric positions.

V. CONCLUSION In this paper, we have developed and analyzed a new robust fuzzy controller design methodology for the control of both continuous-time and discrete-time T–S fuzzy models with parametric uncertainties. The basic approach is based on the rigorous Lyapunov stability theory and the basic tool is the linear matrix inequality.Thedesigned controllercanindeedtolerateadmissible (norm bounded and structured) parametric uncertainties, namely, it can globally asymptotically stabilize the closed-loop T–S fuzzy system subject to all admissible parametric uncertainties. Some convenient sufficient conditions for robust stabilization of the T–S fuzzy model, containing time-varying parametric uncertainties, were derived for both continuous-time and discrete-time cases. The conditions are formulated in the LMI format. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller design method, the T–S fuzzy model of the chaotic Lorenz system was developed as a platform and test bed for illustration and its discrete version was also obtained. The design scheme was applied to the stabilizing control of the Lorenz system, guiding its chaotic trajectories to the origin. Simulation results have verified and confirmed the effectiveness of the new approach in controlling nonlinear systems with parametric uncertainties. The approach presented in this paper has virtually generalized and extended some existing fuzzy control methods based on the T–S model and the LMI criterion. It is believed that this approach is useful for the control of ill-modeled, uncertain, nonlinear, and complex systems. (34) Authorized licensed use limited to: UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE NUEVO LEON.
