title: Stability analysis of fuzzy control systems subject to uncertain grades of membership.
abstract: This paper presents relaxed stability conditions for fuzzy control systems subject to parameter uncertainties. As the parameter uncertainties introduce uncertain grades of membership to the fuzzy control systems, the favorable property offered by sharing the same premises in the fuzzy plant models and fuzzy controllers cannot be employed to enhance the stabilization ability of the fuzzy control systems. To widen the applicability of the fuzzy control approach, fuzzy control systems subject to uncertain grades of membership will be investigated. New relaxed stability conditions will be derived to guarantee the stability of this class of fuzzy control systems. A numerical example will be given to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
