Imperfect premise matching finite-time filter design for continuous-time Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems

An input–output finite-time filtering design problem for a class of delayed Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems with external disturbance input is discussed in this paper. Specifically, the filter design uses the imperfect premise matching scheme that relaxes the requirement that the filter and system membership functions be the same. This method can improve the flexibility of the filter design by incorporating membership function information into the input–output finite-time stability analysis. Using the system and filter states, an augmented filtering system is obtained. The required stability criteria are then derived using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii stability theorem and a few recent inequality approaches. Following that, the desired filter gain matrices are determined. The developed filtering design method is validated through some demonstrative examples.
