An improved result for observer-based H∞ fuzzy control

This paper deals with the observer-based H
∞
control problem for T-S fuzzy systems. By Lyapunov stability and the three index combination technique, a new nonlinear matrix inequality condition for the existence of an observer-based H
∞
controller is derived. To solve controllers with LMI algorithms, a set of LMI conditions which are necessary and sufficient to the derived nonlinear condition are developed as well. It can be shown that the present result is more relaxed than the existing ones and includes them as special cases.
