Further Study on Stabilization for Continuous-Time Takagi–Sugeno Fuzzy Systems With Time Delay

In the recently published paper, a switching method has been proposed to deal with the time derivative of the membership functions and less conservative results can be obtained due to this method; however, this method is based on the assumption that the switching times are finite. In this article, this method is further studied and the average dwell-time (ADT) switching technique is applied to ensure the stability if there is no such assumption. In addition, an algorithm is proposed to find the switching controller gains. The final simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the developed new results.
