Observer-based control of polynomial fuzzy fractional-order systems

Abstract

In this study, the Lyapunov technique is used to analyze the observer-based control problem for polynomial fuzzy fractional order (PFFO) models. The case of polynomial matrices with unmeasurable states is considered to increase the applicability of the PFFO models in the design problem. In this regard, we offer two design procedures. First, the design conditions are presented in a one-step procedure. In this design, the non-convex conditions are transformed in a set of sum of squares (SOS) by introducing a new symbolic variable except the state vector [Formula: see text] and its estimated [Formula: see text]. The obtained SOS conditions are presented involve three independent symbolic variables which increase both computing complexity and conservatism. To get around this shortcoming, a second design method is developed. By using the suggested method, SOS conditions requiring just two separate symbolic variables may be obtained. The architecture is shown in two stages; however, the observer and controller gains are computed in a single stage in order to further minimize conservatism. In order to demonstrate the utility of the suggested theoretical analysis, a simulated example is then provided.
