The stability analysis of the FCSs is carried out using LaSalle's global invariant set theorem by the separate stability analysis of each fuzzy rule in MIMO fuzzy control systems. Therefore the complexity of the stability analysis is reduced and the adding of new fuzzy rules can be conducted easily; this modification of FLC structure requires the fulfillment of only one of the conditions of the stability analysis theorem suggested in this paper. Another advantage of the stability analysis approach proposed in this paper is that the derivative of the Lyapunov function candidate must be only negative semi-definite in comparison with Lyapunov's stability theorem where it must be negative definite. The conservativeness of stability conditions is thus reduced, and this enables the convenient design of FLCs. The applicability and efficiency of the theoretical results are illustrated by numerical simulations for a representative MIMO process which deals with the level control in a three spherical tank system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/ifs-2012-0621","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,2]],"date-time":"2019-12-02T17:52:04Z","timestamp":1575309124000},"page":"145-155","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Stability analysis and design of a class of MIMO fuzzy control systems"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Radu-Emil","family":"Precup","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automation and Applied Informatics, \u201cPolitehnica\u201d University of Timisoara, Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marius L.","family":"Tomescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Computer Science, \u201cAurel Vlaicu\u201d University of Arad, Complex Universitar M, Arad, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Preitl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automation and Applied Informatics, \u201cPolitehnica\u201d University of Timisoara, Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emil M.","family":"Petriu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J\u00e1nos","family":"Fodor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Intelligent Engineering Systems, \u00d3buda University, Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claudiu","family":"Pozna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Product Design and Robotics, Transilvania University of Brasov, Brasov, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Informatics, Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, Gy\u00f5r, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1]]},"container-title":["Journal of Intelligent &amp; Fuzzy Systems"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3233\/IFS-2012-0621","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3233\/IFS-2012-0621","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T09:35:38Z","timestamp":1777455338000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.3233\/IFS-2012-0621"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.3233\/IFS-2012-0621"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/ifs-2012-0621","relation":{"is-cited-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.1155\/2018\/3542352","asserted-by":"object"}]},"ISSN":["1064-1246","1875-8967"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1064-1246","type":"print"},{"value":"1875-8967","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,1]]}}}
