Control Synthesis of Hidden Semi-Markov Uncertain Fuzzy Systems via Observations of Hidden Modes
Abstract:
This paper investigates the stability analysis and fuzzy control problems for a class of discrete-time fuzzy systems with hidden semi-Markov stochastic uncertainties. The nonlinear plant is described via the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model, and the parameter uncertainties are represented by a hidden semi-Markov chain. Owing to the semi-Markov kernel (SMK), the probability density functions (PDFs) of sojourn time for different modes in describing the stochastic uncertainties can address different types of distributions according to different target modes. A novel Lyapunov function that depends on the hidden mode and the observed mode with the elapsed time is proposed to analyze the stability and the H∞ performance of the fuzzy system. Then, the sufficient criteria for the elapsed-time-dependent and observed-mode-dependent fuzzy controller are achieved by exploiting the observations of hidden modes, ensuring that the closed-loop system is σ -error mean square stable with guaranteed H∞ performance. A cart-pendulum system is used to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed theoretical results.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
