Anticontrol of Chaos for a Continuous-time TS Fuzzy System via Time-delay Feedback

A time-delay feedback control approach is proposed for making a given stable continuous-time Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy system chaotic, which is based on the fuzzy feedback linearization and a suitable approximate relationship between a time-delay differential equation and a discrete map. The time-delay feedback controller, chosen among several candidates, is a simple sinusoidal function of the delay states of the system, which has small amplitude. This approach is mathematically proven for rigorous generation of chaos from stable continuous-time TS fuzzy systems, where the generated chaos is in the sense of Li and Yorke. Numerical examples are included to visualize the theoretical analysis and the controller design.
