Finite-Time Decentralized Control of IT2 T-S Fuzzy Interconnected Systems With Discontinuous Interconnections.

This paper investigates the finite-time decentralized control problem for interconnected systems with discontinuous interconnections. By using the interval type-2 Takagi-Sugeno (IT2 T-S) fuzzy model, a unified IT2 T-S fuzzy interconnected system is provided, in which the global system is described as a fuzzy blending of local subsystems under IF-THEN rules. In addition, based on the differential inclusion theory, the solutions of such discontinuous system are defined in the sense of Filippov. In order to stabilize the considered system in finite time, several decentralized discontinuous state feedback controllers are proposed. Furthermore, by the finite-time stabilization theory and generalized Lyapunov functional method, decentralized control is carried out and several sufficient criteria are derived to ensure the finite-time stabilization of the concerned system. Correspondingly, the settling times for stabilization are given. Finally, the proposed methodology is illustrated by an example.
