Parametrized in terms of a constant matrix, those homogeneous polynomial Lyapunov functions provide less conservative results in terms of stability and decay rate of trajectories when dealing with membership functions whose time-derivatives have unknown bounds. The synthesis procedure is formulated in terms of a locally convergent iterative algorithm, where a set of LMIs defined in an augmented parameter space is solved at each iteration.

The method proposed in this paper can expand the effective scope of sliding mode control into uncertain fuzzy systems even if there are not assumptions of input matrices. In order to expand the effective scope of controlled systems, firstly, transform the form of input matrices of system plants into a new input matrix <em>B</em>. Secondly, design a new sliding mode surface according to all the input matrices. It contains <em>q</em> sub-sliding surfaces. The number <em>q</em> is the column number of input matrix <em>B</em>. Thirdly, according to sliding mode theorem, the equivalent controller can be deduced. But, it may be nonexistence. A judgment criterion for the existence of the controller is given as a lemma. By use of the proposed sliding surface, a new sliding controller is constructed. It can settle the confliction difficult between sliding surface and input matrices.

In addition, the existing research methods do not work for high-order nonlinear TSFICSs, so novel impulsive differential inequalities with high-order terms are established to investigate the stabilization of high-order nonlinear TSFICSs and develop the classic impulsive differential inequalities for high-order nonlinear situations. Next, sufficient conditions for the stability are obtained based on the new impulsive differential inequalities together with graph theory and the Lyapunov method.
