This article describes a new procedure for the design of decentralized output-feedback tracking controllers for a class of interconnected Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy systems with external bounded disturbances and measurement noise. The main idea consists in transforming the decentralized tracking control problem, by using the descriptor redundancy formulation, to a robust decentralized stabilization one. The non-parallel distributed compensation (non-PDC) controllers proposed here are synthesized to satisfy robust H∞ tracking performance with disturbance attenuation. The decentralized controllers design conditions are given in terms of LMIs via extended quadratic Lyapunov functions. Finally, simulations are presented: two numerical examples are dedicated to compare the conservatism of the proposed approach regarding the previous results available in the literature; then, the effectiveness of the decentralized controller design methodology is illustrated with a closed-loop simulation of two inverted pendulums connected by a spring.
