Robust Nonfragile H_ Filtering of Fuzzy Systems With Linear Fractional Parametric Uncertainties

This paper is concerned with the H ∞ filtering problem for continuous-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems. Different from existing results for fuzzy H ∞ filtering, the proposed ones are toward uncertain fuzzy systems with linear fractional parametric uncertainties. Attention is focused on the design of a fuzzy filter such that the filtering error system preserves a prescribed H ∞ performance, where the filter to be designed is assumed to have gain variations. By a descriptor representation approach, two sufficient conditions for the H ∞ filter design are proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). When these LMIs are feasible, an explicit expression of the desired filter is given. A simulation example will be given to show the efficiency of the proposed methods.
