Adaptive neural network sliding mode control for reliable stabilization of uncertain Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems regulated by switching rules

The problem of adaptive sliding mode control for a class of continuous-time Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems regulated by the event of switching rules relying on neural network estimation method is put forward in this paper, where the plant suffers from state delay, internal structure uncertainty, and unknown nonlinearity. By proposing a switching surface in integral type, it obtains a sliding motion with desired property. In addition, to compensate the plant unknown nonlinearity and to meet the reaching condition, a radial basis function neural-network-based adaptive law is designed to ensure the existence of sliding motion in finite time. Furthermore, for the purpose of exponential stabilization of the sliding motion, a linear matrix inequality condition accompanied with switching signal characterized by an average dwell time is put forward. Finally, two numerical examples, one with all subsystems unstable and the other with stable subsystems and unstable systems, are shown to confirm the validity.
