Mixed H/sub 2//H/sub /spl infin// fuzzy output feedback control design for nonlinear dynamic systems: an LMI approach

This study introduces a mixed H/sub 2//H/sub /spl infin// fuzzy output feedback control design method for nonlinear systems with guaranteed control performance. First, the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model is employed to approximate a nonlinear system. Next, based on the fuzzy model, a fuzzy observer-based mixed H/sub 2//H/sub /spl infin// controller is developed to achieve the suboptimal H/sub 2/ control performance with a desired H/sub /spl infin// disturbance rejection constraint. A robust stabilization technique is also proposed to override the effect of approximation error in the fuzzy approximation procedure. By the proposed decoupling technique and two-stage procedure, the outcome of the fuzzy observer-based mixed H/sub 2//H/sub /spl infin// control problem is parametrized in terms of the two eigenvalue problems (EVPs): one for observer and the other for controller. The EVPs can be solved very efficiently using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization techniques. A simulation example is given to illustrate the design procedures and performances of the proposed method.
