Ideal (I2) Convergence in Fuzzy Paranormed Spaces for Practical Stability of Discrete-Time Fuzzy Control Systems Under Lacunary Measurements

OpenAlex · English

We investigate the stability of linear discrete-time control systems with a fuzzy logic feedback under sporadic sensor data loss. In our framework, each state measurement is a fuzzy number, and occasional “packet dropouts” are modeled by a lacunary subsequence of missing readings. We introduce a novel mathematical approach using lacunary statistical convergence in fuzzy paranormed spaces to analyze such systems. Specifically, we treat the sequence of fuzzy measurements as a double sequence (indexed by time and state component) and consider an admissible ideal of “negligible” index sets that includes the missing–data pattern. Using the concept of ideal fuzzy—paranorm convergence (I-fp convergence), we formalize a lacunary statistical consistency condition on the fuzzy measurements. We prove that if the closed-loop matrix A−BK is Schur stable (i.e., ∥A−BK∥<1) in the absence of dropouts, then under the lacunary statistical consistency condition, the controlled system is practically stable despite intermittent measurement losses. In other words, for any desired tolerance, the state eventually remains within that bound (though not necessarily converging to zero). Our result yields an explicit, non-probabilistic (distribution-free) analytical criterion for robustness to sensor dropouts, without requiring packet-loss probabilities or Markov transition parameters. This work merges abstract convergence theory with control application: it extends statistical and ideal convergence to double sequences in fuzzy normed spaces and applies it to ensure stability of a networked fuzzy control system.
