International audienceThe system information of 2-D systems is usually in propagation along two independent directions. This article focuses on the issue of output feedback sliding mode control (SMC) for 2-D nonlinear systems through T-S fuzzy affine models. Associated with the sliding surface function, a singular system is established to describe the sliding mode dynamics. Based on piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions, some new stability analysis results on the sliding mode dynamical system are attained, and the analysis conservatism can be further reduced. A robust output feedback dynamic SMC synthesis scheme is developed to guarantee the finite-time reachability of the sliding surface. It is also worthy of mentioning that the proposed ...
