In this paper, we combined the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model with the model predictive control (MPC) strategy to deal with the stabilization problem of nonlinear systems. First, the discrete-time T-S fuzzy model was adopted for modeling the nonlinear systems. Second, fuzzy state feedback controllers were proposed which was based on the model predictive control approach and a parallel distributed compensation (PDC) scheme. Sufficient conditions were derived for stabilization in the sense of Lyapunov exponential stability, and formulated in linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a truck-trailer system, which is nonlinear and unstable, was applied for test. The effectiveness of the proposed mixed fuzzy model predictive controller design was demonstrated with satisfactory numerical simulation results.
