This article presents a design method for discrete-time fuzzy control
systems. The method is based on a discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy st
ate space model. A suitable quadratic Lyapunov function is used to est
ablish asymptotic stability of the closed loop system. A necessary and
sufficient condition for stabilization of a discrete-time fuzzy contr
ol system is given. Furthermore, a constructive algorithm is developed
to obtain the stabilizing feedback control law. The stabilization alg
orithm involves solving a certain discrete-time algebraic Riccati equa
tion. Two examples are given to illustrate the application of the meth
