Distributed-Delay-Dependent Stabilization for Networked Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Systems With Stochastic Delay and Actuator Saturation

Abstract

In this article, a distributed-delay-dependent method is proposed to deal with the stabilization for interval type-2 Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems subject to stochastic network delay and actuator saturation. To deal with the stochastic feature of network-induced delays, their probability density function is utilized to establish the distributed delay model, which is more practical than the traditional time-varying network delay model. Meanwhile, in order to enlarge the estimation of the domain of attraction, a polytopic strategy composed of a state vector and a distributed-delay-dependent vector is proposed to treat the saturation nonlinearity. By constructing a distributed-delay-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, new and less conservative conditions are achieved to guarantee the stability of the established closed-loop system. Additionally, two simulation examples are carried out to illustrate the advantages of the proposed strategy.
