Nonlinear time-varying model: Fuzzy parameter varying system

The fuzzy parameter varying system was proposed to study nonlinear time-varying models. It is a novel nonlinear model combining the advantages of both the T-S fuzzy system and the linear parameter varying (LPV) system. It inherits the advantage of the T-S fuzzy system in dealing with nonlinear systems effectively, and maintains the advantage of LPV system when processing linear time-varying systems. Fuzzy parameter varying system not only overcomes the disadvantage of the traditional T-S fuzzy system in handing time-varying systems, but also expands the scope of application of LPV system theory. It provides a new idea for solving nonlinear time-varying control problem. Moreover, a sufficient condition is provided to guarantee the globally asymptotically stable of the equilibrium and to synthesize a T-S state feedback control law which can stabilize the closed loop fuzzy parameter varying system. Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of our results.
