Discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno singular systems with unmeasurable decision variables: state and fault fuzzy observer design

The studied problem in this paper, treat the issue of state and fault estimation using a fuzzy observer in the case of unmeasurable decision variable for Discrete-Time Takagi-Sugeno Sin-gular Sytems (DTSSS). First, an augmented system is introduced to gather state and fault into a single vector, then on the basis of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) approach, this observer is designed in explicit form to estimate both of state and fault of a nonlinear singular system. The exponential stability of this observer is studied using Lyapunov theory and the convergence conditions are solved with Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). Finally a numerical example is simulated, and results are given to validate the offered approach.
