This paper is concerned with output feedback control design for a discrete-time fuzzy system with immeasurable premise variables. It is well known that Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model describes a wide class of nonlinear systems especially when its premise variables include immeasurable functions. However, when it comes to control design of such a fuzzy system with immeasurable premise variables, a conventional parallel distributed compensator(PDC) is not feasible because it shares the same premise variables as those of a fuzzy system. In this paper, we introduce an output feedback controller with the estimate of the premise variables of an original fuzzy system. We then formulate the stabilization problem for a discrete-time fuzzy system with immeasurable premise variables. Our control design method is based on a set of strict LMI conditions. No tuning parameter is necessary a priori to solve LMI conditions. Our method includes tuning matrices for control gains in a controller and hence they can be chosen to optimize the control performance of the system. Furthermore, we extend our results to a class of discrete-time fuzzy systems with uncertain parameters. A design method of robust controller for such uncertain systems is also given. Numerical examples are finally given to illustrate our control design method.
