The problem of observer-based state estimation of discrete-time fuzzy systems is investigated by constructing a joint switching mechanism for adjacent instants. Thanks to the usage of both the proposed spatial partitioning method and a set of new free matrix-valued variables, abundant information about size differences of all the normalized fuzzy weighting functions for adjacent instants can be interactively integrated into the fuzzy observer design for the first time. Compared with the recent result from three important aspects (conservatism level, online computational burden, and offline computational burden), three positive results can be obtained: 1) it provides a chance for reducing the conservatism by a large margin; 2) the required online computational burden remains unchanged as referred ones; and 3) as a tradeoff, the required offline computational burden increases to some extent but is still affordable from the view of complexity analysis. Finally, two numerical simulations have been given to validate the effectiveness of our developed theoretical results.
