Input-Output Finite-Time Stability for Switched T-S Fuzzy Delayed Systems With a Time-Dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii Functional Approach

This article concerns the finite-time performance analysis for switched Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy (STSF) systems subject to time-varying delay. Since the existing relevant results for finite-time synthesis of general switched systems require the finite-time stability property of the individual subsystem, a more general situation that the STSF systems comprised fully of finite-time unstable delayed subsystems are considered in the investigation. For surmounting this situation, a novel time-dependent multiple Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach is developed by integrating a ranged dwell time switching mechanism. Then, the corresponding (input-output) finite-time stability criteria with less conservativeness are simultaneously derived for the (perturbed) STSF delayed systems to be (input-output) finite-time stable over the concerned finite-time interval. Finally, two illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the accuracy and superiority of the developed (input-output) finite-time analysis framework.
