This paper deals with the stabilization problem for discrete-time nonlinear systems that are represented by the Takagi - Sugeno fuzzy model. By the multiple fuzzy Lyapunov function and the three-index algebraic combination technique, a new stabilization condition is developed. The condition is expressed in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and proved to be less conservative than existing results in the literature. Finally, a truck-trailer system is given to illustrate the novelty of the proposed approach.

The present study of tension leg platform is the first commercial application of a revolutionary design of offshore production platform developed by well-known oil company. Intended for oil and gas production in water depths beyond the reach of traditional fixed structures, the tension leg platform was designed as a rectangular shaped floating platform which was connected to the ocean floor by 16 vertical steel tethers or legs, four per corner. The legs were kept in tension so that vertical movement was suppressed, while limited horizontal movement may occur.
The present study is concerned with the identification of the non-linear wave force effects known as 'ringing' on an offshore structure. Ringing is a highly non-linear behaviour in which the motion resonances are outside the region of dominating wave energy. The purpose of this paper is to provide a better prediction of the higher frequency responses of wave forces on the cylinder and to interpret the non-linear effects of 'ringing' using the NARMAX method and the higher order frequency response functions.
Stability of discrete, time-varying, stochastic, bilinear systems is studied. Bilinear systems with output feedback are included. Mean-square stability conditions are derived for stochastic models without the assumption of stationarity for the random noise. The feedback function includes a larger class of functions than the class of linear functions or functions satisfying the Lipschitz condition. The sufficient stabilizing conditions depend only on the coefficient matrices of the bilinear system
