Non-Fragile Fuzzy Tracking Control for Nonlinear Networked Systems with Dynamic Quantization and Randomly Occurring Gain Variations

Abstract

This paper investigates the observer-based non-fragile output feedback tracking control problem for nonlinear networked systems with randomly occurring gain variations. The considered nonlinear networked systems are represented by a Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model. The dynamical quantization methodology is employed to achieve the reasonable and efficacious utilization of the limited communication resources. The objective is to design the observer-based non-fragile output feedback tracking controller, such that the resulting system is mean-square asymptotically stable with the given H∞ tracking performance. Based on the descriptor representation strategy combined with the S-procedure, sufficient conditions for the existence of the desired dynamic quantizers and observer-based non-fragile tracking controller are proposed in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed design method
