Fuzzy Output Tracking Control and Filtering for Nonlinear Discrete-Time Descriptor Systems Under Unreliable Communication Links

In this paper, the problems of output tracking control and filtering are investigated for Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy-approximation-based nonlinear descriptor systems in the discrete-time domain. Especially, the unreliability of the communication links between the sensor and actuator/filter is taken into account, and the phenomenon of packet dropouts is characterized by a binary Markov chain with uncertain transition probabilities, which may reflect the reality more accurately than the existing description processes. A novel bounded real lemma (BRL), which ensures the stochastic admissibility with H

performance for fuzzy discrete-time descriptor systems despite the uncertain Markov packet dropouts, is presented based on a fuzzy basis-dependent Lyapunov function. By resorting to the dual conditions of the obtained BRL, a solution for the designed fuzzy output tracking controller is given. A design method for the fullorder fuzzy filter is also provided. Finally, two examples are finally adopted to show the applicability of the achieved design strategies.
