guaranteed cost control for uncertain switched Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with multiple interval time-varying delays. It is the first time that the fault tolerant control (FTC) of nonlinear systems subject to measurement noise, external disturbances, nonlinear functions, and intermittent faults (IFs) in sensors and actuators is investigated. A passive dynamic full-order output feedback controller is first addressed for the system to guarantee the exponential stability. Compared with the existing results, the restrictions on the multiple time-varying delays are relaxed in the derivation of this work. The suggested controller has a wider application. Moreover, as the piecewise fuzzy Lyapunov function is introduced with some slack matrices, the delay-dependent sufficient conditions are provided in the way of a cluster of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and then less conservatism is attained by our design contrast to the existing fault tolerant controllers. At last, two simulation examples and some comparisons are achieved to illustrate the novelty and feasibility of the method gathered in the article.
