Switching stabilization for type-2 fuzzy systems with network-induced packet losses

This paper is concerned with the stabilization problem of type-2 fuzzy systems with network-induced packet losses. By regarding the packet lost process as an unstable mode of a switched system, the stability of the system is then guaranteed with the aid of the mode-dependent average dwell time approach in the sense of the slow and fast switching. The discrete-time multiple discontinuous Lyapunov function is also utilized for the analysis. Two sufficient conditions regarding the stability and the stabilization of the system are proposed. The state-feedback matrices can be then calculated from the conditions to ensure the criterion that the packet-loss rate is no larger than a specific constant. Two practical examples are given to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
