Finite Time Stability Analysis and Feedback Control for Takagi–Sugeno Fuzzy Time Delay Fractional-Order Systems

Abstract

This study treats the problem of Finite Time Stability Analysis (FTSA) and Finite Time Feedback Control (FTFC), using a Linear Matrix Inequalities Approach (LMIA). It specifically focuses on Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy Time Delay Fractional-Order Systems (TDFOS) that include nonlinear perturbations and interval Time Varying Delays (ITVDs). We consider the case of the Caputo Tempered Fractional Derivative (CTFD), which generalizes the Caputo Fractional Derivative (CFD). Two main results are presented: a two-step procedure is provided, followed by a more relaxed single-step procedure. Two examples are presented to show the reduction in conservatism achieved by the proposed methods. The first is a numerical example, while the second involves the FTFC of an inverted pendulum, which exhibits both symmetrical dynamics for small angular displacements and asymmetrical dynamics for larger deviations.
