Observer-Based Sliding Mode Control for Uncertain Fuzzy Systems via Event-Triggered Strategy

This paper investigates the problem of sliding mode observer design for a class of uncertain fuzzy time-delay systems based on an event-triggered strategy. The objective is to design an event-triggered mechanism by utilizing the information of system output and observer function. Based on the delay partitioning method and the Lyapunov-Krasovskii function approach, delay-dependent sufficient conditions are proposed to guarantee the overall system, including sliding mode dynamics and error dynamics, to be asymptotically stable with an H performance. Furthermore, an event-triggered sliding mode controller is synthesized to ensure that the system dynamics can be driven to the sliding region near the equilibrium point in finite time. Finally, a verification example is provided to demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the theoretical results presented.
