On the global stability of Takagi-Sugeno general model

Abstract

Global stability of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is presented. First, stability conditions for T-S fuzzy model presented by Tanaka and Sugeno are reviewed. Second, new theorems for the stability of the general form of T-S model is derived in the sense of Lyapunov.

The T-S model we studied includes a linear equation with a constant parameter in the consequent part of each rule while other authors have analyzed the model with no constant term, which does not represent a real system. This in turn will impose restrictions on the stability conditions derived in this field. An example is presented to illustrate the new suggested condition.
