Abstract

Proposes a systematic and theoretically sound way to design a global optimal discrete-time fuzzy controller to control and stabilize a nonlinear discrete-time fuzzy system with finite or infinite horizon (time). A linear-like global system representation of a discrete-time fuzzy system is first proposed by viewing such a system in a global concept and unifying the individual matrices into synthetic matrices. Then, based on this kind of system representation, a discrete-time optimal fuzzy control law which can achieve a global minimum effect is developed theoretically. A nonlinear two-point boundary-value-problem (TPBVP) is derived as a necessary and sufficient condition for the nonlinear quadratic optimal control problem. To simplify the computation, a multi-stage decomposition of the optimization scheme is proposed, and then a segmental recursive Riccati-like equation is derived. Moreover, in the case of time-invariant fuzzy systems, we show that the optimal controller can be obtained by just solving discrete-time algebraic Riccati-like equations. Based on this, several fascinating characteristics of the resultant closed-loop fuzzy system can easily be elicited. The stability of the closed-loop fuzzy system can be ensured by the designed optimal fuzzy controller. The optimal closed-loop fuzzy system can not only be guaranteed to be exponentially stable, but also stabilized to any desired degree. Also, the total energy of system output is absolutely finite. Moreover, the resultant closed-loop fuzzy system possesses an infinite gain margin, i.e. its stability is guaranteed no matter how large the feedback gain becomes. An example is given to illustrate the proposed optimal fuzzy controller design approach and to demonstrate the proven stability properties
