Digitalizing a Fuzzy Observer-Based Output-Feedback Control: Intelligent Digital Redesign Approach Ho Jae Lee, Jin Bae Park, and Young Hoon Joo
Abstract—This paper concerns an intelligent digital redesign (IDR) technique for a Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy observer-based output-feedback control (FOBOFC) system. The term IDR involves converting an existing analog control into an equivalent digital counterpart in the sense of state-matching. The IDR problem is herein viewed as a minimization problem of the norm distances between nonlinearly interpolated linear operators to be matched. Its constructive condition with global rather than local state-matching is formulated in terms of bilinear matrix inequalities. The main features of the proposed method are that the state estimation error in the plant dynamics is considered in the IDR condition that plays a crucial role in the performance improvement; the stability property is preserved by the proposed IDR algorithm; the separation principle is shown when the premise variables are measurable; finally, the IDR condition for a more general FOBOFC—an estimated premise variable case is conducted. A numerical example is demonstrated to visualize the feasibility of the developed methodology. Index Terms—Fuzzy observer-based output-feedback control (FOBOFC), intelligent digital redesign (IDR), separation principle, Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy system.
I. INTRODUCTION

IGITAL control of an engineering system often evolves an analog plant controlled by feeding sampled outputs back with analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog devices for interfacing in which continuous-time and discrete-time signals coexist. It makes traditional analysis tools for a homogeneous signal system unable to be directly used. To fully enjoy the advancement of the digital technology in control engineering as well as surmount the theoretical obstacles, various digital control techniques have been consistently pursued with tremendous effort by many researchers. Among these, yet another efficient approach is, so-called digital redesign (DR) [1], [8], [10], [15]–[17], [19]–[24], to convert a well-designed analog control into an equivalent digital one maintaining the property of the original analog control system in the sense of state-matching, by

which the benefits of both the analog control and the advanced digital technology can be achieved. It is known that the DR was basically developed only for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems [1], [10], [16], [22]. For that reason, it has been strongly demanded to build some intelligent digital redesign (IDR) methodologies for complex nonlinear systems, in which the first attempt was initiated by Joo et al. [6]. They synergistically merged both the Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy-modelbased control and the DR. It has been the impetus for several results we have obtained: Chang et al. extended the IDR to uncertain T–S fuzzy systems [5] and elaborated it [2]. Very recently, an IDR scheme was suggested ensuring the stabilizability as well as the global state-matching [7]. Note that all discussed works have concentrated on the state-feedback case. Judging from a practical engineering point of view, the output-feedback is appealing because all state variables of many industrial plants cannot be directly available through control process. There have been some investigations on DR focusing on LTI observer-based output-feedback control (OBOFC) from several disparate perspectives [8], [10], [21], [22], [23]. However, until now, no tractable IDR method for the T–S fuzzy OBOFC (FOBOFC) has been proposed. In establishing an IDR for FOBOFC, one may unintentionally try to use the currently accessible IDRs [5], [6] and the duality concept between a state-feedback control design and a Luenberger-type full-order observer design, to obtain the digital control gain matrices and the discrete observer gain matrices. Such a strategy for LTI system can be found in [21], [22], [24]. In the approach, however, although the state estimation error inevitably occurs, it was ignored in deriving the DR condition. Consequently, the redesigned digital control may not match the states, which is one of the main factors that degrade the performance of the IDR for FOBOFC. Clearly, to enhance the performance, the estimation error in the plant dynamics should be carefully deliberated in investigating the IDR condition. Moving to the state-matching issue, the previous IDRs were acquired under the local state-matching criterion of each sub-closed-loop system—the control loop closed with the th plant and the th control rule. Obviously, they do not guarantee the global statematching between the analog and digital control systems, which is also an underlying factor in performance deterioration. Moreover, preserving the stability has been assumed to be implicitly retained by closely matching the digitally controlled state with the analogously controlled stable state. Involving an explicit stability preserving condition into the IDR algorithm has not been treated. Thus far, the aforementioned remains yet to be theoretically challenging issues and thereby must be fully tackled.

Motivated by the previous observations, this paper aims at developing IDR for a T–S FOBOFC system. To alleviate the problems raised before, we propose an alternative way—numerical optimization-based IDR involving bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). Casting the IDR problem into such a format is highly desirable since it allows one to simultaneously reflect a variety of specifications in the design algorithm. The main contributions of this paper are twofold: i) a constructive IDR condition in the presence of an injective mapping from the output to the premise variables of the concerned T–S fuzzy system—a measured premise variable case; and ii) an IDR condition in the absence of any injective mapping from the output to the premise variables—an estimated premise variable case. Specifically, to achieve the former, the global state-matching problem in the IDR is viewed as a minimization problem of the norm distances between the nonlinearly interpolated linear operators to be matched. The matching condition of the state estimation error in the plant dynamics is incorporated. The derived condition guarantees, under the mild prerequisite of a global exponential analog FOBOFC, the global exponential stability (GES) of the digital FOBOFC system. The separation principle on IDR is explicitly verified. The IDR for the latter, a more general FOBOFC without any injective mapping from the output of the T–S fuzzy system to the premise variables is also investigated. The analysis of this case is complicated since the premise variables of a T–S fuzzy observer depend on the estimated state [11], [25]. The rest of this paper is organized as follows: The T–S FOBOFC system is briefly reviewed for analog and digital cases in Section II. New IDR methods are proposed for the concerned systems with measured and estimated premise variable cases in Section III. An example—the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is provided in Section IV to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Finally, Section V concludes the paper with some discussions.
One way to view a T–S fuzzy system is that it performs the nonlinearly interpolated linear mapping and so as to satisfy

There are several methods in discretizing an LTI system. Unfortunately, these approaches are not directly applicable to the discretization of the T–S fuzzy system since it is not LTI but implicitly time-varying [3]. Moreover, it is further strongly desired to maintain the polytopic structure of the discretized T–S fuzzy system for the construction of a digital fuzzy-model-based control. Thus we need a mathematical foundation for the discretization of T–S fuzzy systems. Assumption 1: Assume that the firing strength of the th rule is approximated by its , that is, for value at time . Consequently, the nonlinear matrix functions and can be approximated by constant matrices and , respectively, over any interval [2], [3], [27]. is chosen, AsIf a suitably small sampling period sumption 1 is reasonable and we have the following result.

III. MAIN RESULTS A. IDR of FOBOFC Systems Simply speaking, the goal of the IDR problem in our concerned system framework is to convert an existing analog exponential FOBOFC into an equivalent digital one in the sense of state-matching. To attain this, one may try to obtain the digital control gain matrices by using the previous IDR techniques [5], [6] and the discrete observer gain matrices by further applying the duality concept, respectively. Such a strategy for LTI systems can be found in [21], [22]. The (F)OBOFC, however, generally possesses the state estimation error in the plant dynamics [8]. Exploiting [6] and [5] is not suitable because the methods will employ the unperturbed sub-closed-loop differenfor derivation of the tial equation local state-matching condition, instead of the actual one for the global state-matching. As a result, the intelligently redesigned digital control cannot match the estimation error inside the plant dynamics. This is the reason why the existing methods are not directly applicable to the FOBOFC. Therefore, to well intelligently digitally redesign the FOBOFC, the global plant dynamics containing the estimation error should be utilized, and , and not only the state-matching between and or, but their estimation matching between equivalently, their estimation-error-matching between and should be deliberated. What is more, it is highly desired for the intelligently redesigned digital FOBOFC to preserve the stability property of the original analog FOBOFC system. To this end, we formulate the following IDR problem. Problem 1 (IDR for FOBOFC): Given the well-designed and for (4) and (3) that ensure the GES gain matrices and for (9), and for (8) such that the of (5), find followings are satisfied. 1) The state of the discrete representation (10) of the digitally controlled system (6) with (8) and (9) matches of the discrete representation (11) of the the state analogously controlled system (5) at every sampling time , as closely as possible. instance 2) The digitallycontrolledsystem(6)with (8)and(9)isGES. Consider the first objective in Problem 1. In parallel with (10) under the assumpand (11), to realize , it is desired to determine , and tion in such a way that the following matrix equality conditions: (12) (13) (14) hold for all pairs
.

The second objective in Problem 1 can be handled in a discrete manner by virtue of the following proposition. Proposition 2: Suppose (10) is GES; then the zero equiliband of the hybrid rium points digital FOBOFC system (6), (8), and (9) are also GES. Proof: From the supposition of the GES of (10), any closedexponentiallyconvergesto as loopsolution ,foranyinitialdata .Next,itfollowsfrom that (6), (9), and Assumption 1 for

is independent of . By the GES definition of (10): , for any initial data , we further proceed over the interval
where and . Therefore, we conclude that the trivial solutions to (6) and (8) with (9) are GES. Remark 4: The complexity of Problem 1 is threefold. 1) The equalities (12) and (13) may be solved for and if and , and and both are nonprovided singular. Similarly, (14) may be solved for and is nonsingular. However, these conthat ditions are not satisfied in general even in LTI case [8]. 2) It should be addressed that (12)–(14) are hardly solved in many cases of T–S fuzzy-model-based control, since , and should satisfy each variable different equality constraints, respectively, for the global matching [7]. 3) In addition, preserving the stability property in the IDR procedure should be critically secured. However, guaranteeing the GES of (10) weights the problem down. In order to cope with the difficulties, an alternative approach is applied by relaxing Problem 1 and searching the digital FOBOFC in a numerical manner. Our key idea is to find , and such a way that the norm distances between and , and , and and , respectively, are minimized by using a numerical optimization technique. It is observed that the norm distances minimization beand stands for the case of tween only, . Note that we are seeking arbitrary functions , so that such a minimized , distance is valid for any admissible value of which requires to examine whether it is guaranteed or not when .

Proof: Since the induced two-norm is a convex operator on a convex domain , we have
which establishes the claim. Hence, Problem 1 is restated as follows.

Corollary 2 (Separation Principle on IDR): The separation principle holds for IDR of FOBOFC: The digital fuzzy-modelbased control can be intelligently redesigned to be GES, independent of the global exponential detectability of the intelligently redesigned discrete fuzzy-model-based observer, and the whole FOBOFC system is still GES.

The remaining matrix inequalities (31)–(33) and (36)–(38) directly follow from the standard Lyapunov stability theorem [12]. The detailed derivation is shown in Appendix, which completes the proof of the theorem.

In what follows, we solve the problem in an iterative fashion by treating the BMI as a double LMI [13]. Notice that the double LMI problem is feasible only if the BMI problem is feasible. For brevity, we let MP denote MP 4 excluding (31) and a block-diagonal matrix whose nonzero entries (36), are the left-hand side of (31) and (36), and the maximum eigenvalue. Algorithm 1 depicts a summary of the double LMI approach to MP 4. Remark 11: MP 1 in Theorem 1 is also bilinear in and , hence the double LMI approach can be utilized to solve MP1. IV.

The simulated trajectories and their time responses by the both methods are reported in Figs. 1–3. As one can immediately witness, the state trajectory by the proposed method is almost identical to that of the original analog control system and is well . However, the compared method inguided to deed heavily deteriorates the state-matching performance even for relatively small sampling period. In another set of simulaand (s). The contion runs, we take trolled state trajectories are depicted in Figs. 4 and 7. Figs. 5, 6, 8, and 9 draw the time responses and the applied controls. It is observed that the state-matching performances by the proposed method are somewhat degraded yet the state trajectories have a strong resemblance to the original one, whereas the others fail in control. V. CLOSING REMARKS In this paper, a new IDR has been investigated for a FOBOFC system. The developed technique, unlikely the existing methods, formulated the concerned IDR problem as constrained minimization problems and the associated conditions are spelled out by BMIs, so that a variety of design specifications are involved. To the authors’ best knowledge, this paper is the first attempt to develop an IDR technique for the FOBOFC system. Some interesting features are: i) the state estimation error in the plant dynamics is considered in the IDR condition, which is the main factor that improves the performance of the IDR significantly; ii) the exponential stability of the system closed by the intelligently redesigned digital FOBOFC is preserved by the proposed IDR algorithm; iii) it is shown that the separation principle on the IDR holds when the premise variables are measurable; iv) the IDR on a more general FOBOFC—the estimated premise variable case is explored. The simulation results on the PMSM convincingly demonstrated the advantage of the developed redesign method compared to the previous approach. It implies the potential of the proposed IDR method for reliable digital industrial applications. APPENDIX A. Proof of Theorem 1 First, we show the stabilizability via the digital control .
