Abstract

In this paper, the approach of a shifted Chebyshev series is proposed to solve the time-varying Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy-model-based dynamic equations. The new method simplifies the procedure of solving the time-varying TS-fuzzy-model-based dynamic equations into the successive solution of a system of recursive formulae only involving the matrix algebra. Based on the presented recursive formulae, an algorithm involving only straightforward algebraic computation is also proposed in this paper. The new proposed approach is non-iterative, non-differential, non-integral, straightforward, and well adapted to the computer implementation. The computational complexity can therefore be reduced remarkably. The first illustrated numerical example shows that the proposed method based on the shifted Chebyshev series can yield better and more satisfactory results than the Runge–Kutta method. The second illustrated example for the pendulum system with the vibration in the vertical direction on the pivot point is given to demonstrate the application of the proposed approach.
