In this paper, a time-delayed impulsive controller is constructed and the uniformly asymptotic stability of chaotic systems based on a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model is investigated and some new and useful criteria are derived. In addition, the uniformly asymptotic synchronization of chaotic systems based on the TS fuzzy model is discussed using similar techniques. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the derived results. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
