Stability and Stabilization Analysis of Interval Positive Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Systems by using Convex Optimization

Abstract: In this paper, the stability and stabilization problem of positive nonlinear systems, described by the Takagi-Sugeno discrete-time fuzzy model, is studied. The proposed approach is based on the linear co-positive Lyapunov function and parallel distributed controller. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a state feedback controller, which guarantees the positivity and stability of the closed-loop system, are obtained by a new approach as linear programming, and to solve it and obtain the controller coefficients, the optimal Convex Optimization algorithm is used. Moreover, the design of the robust controller has been considered. Finally, a numerical and practical example is presented to illustrate the validity and effectiveness of the designed method.
