Based on Lyapunov stability theory and matrix theory, a nonlinear state feedback fuzzy controller was designed by linear matrix inequalities （LMI） approach, and the global exponential stability of the closed-loop system was strictly proved. For a fuzzy control system with bounded uncertain delays, under the global exponential stability condition which is reduced to p linear matrix inequalities, the controller guarantees stability performances of state variables. Finally, the simulation shows the validity of the method in tiffs paper.展开更多
