Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of delay-dependent robust filter for T-S fuzzy time-delay systems with exponential stability. The purpose is to design filter parameters such that the filtering error system is exponentially stable and satisfies a prescribed performance. In terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIS), some sufficient conditions for the solvability of this problem are presented. Thanks to the new filter, the obtained stability criterion is less conservative than the existing ones. Finally, three examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and the superiority of the proposed design methods.

1 Introduction
In the past several decades, robust filtering problem has received extensive attention of people. The current study of robust filtering mainly concentrated on two aspects: Kalman filter and filter. Among them, the research of filter is wider, and many important and interesting results have been proposed in terms of all kinds of approaches (see, for example, [1–3]). Actual industrial system such as the power grid, chemical processes, nuclear reactor and others often contain time-delay, and time-delay is the main factor that leads to system performance degradation and instability. Therefore, the research of the filtering problem for time-delay systems has important theoretical significance and application value.
In recent years, the research of the filtering for time-delay systems has made abundant achievements. Delay-dependent robust and filtering for a class of uncertain nonlinear time-delay systems was studied in [4]. filtering of time-delay T-S fuzzy systems based on piecewise Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional was investigated in [5]. A new fuzzy filter design for nonlinear continuous-time dynamic systems with time-varying delays was reported in [6]. Robust filtering for a class of uncertain Lurie time-delay singular systems was studied in [7]. Delay-dependent filtering for singular Markovian jump time-delay systems was studied in [8].
T-S fuzzy system has wide application in the network, economy, environment and other fields, it has attracted more and more concern of the scholars (see, for example, [9–11]). filter has come to play an important role in fuzzy model during the past years, so the filtering of fuzzy system is especially important. Delay-dependent nonfragile robust filtering of T-S fuzzy time-delay systems was investigated in [12]. An improved filter design for nonlinear system with time-delay via T-S fuzzy models was studied in [13]. Exponential filter design for uncertain Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems with time-delay was reported in [14]. New results on filtering for fuzzy systems with interval time-varying delays was studied in [15]. Delay-dependent non-fragile filtering for uncertain fuzzy systems based on switching fuzzy model and piecewise Lyapunov function was studied in [16]. But at present, the problem of delay-dependent robust filter for T-S fuzzy time-delay systems with exponential stability has rarely been reported.
For T-S fuzzy time-delay systems with exponential stability, this paper discusses the design methods of delay-dependent robust filter. First of all, it gave a criterion of exponential stability, and then discussed the conditions and design methods of delay-dependent robust filter. The result of designed filter is exponential stability for the augmented system via LMI. Thanks to the new filter, the obtained criterion is less conservative than the existing ones. Finally, some numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness and the superiority of the proposed design methods.

Definition 1 The filtering error system (6) is said to be exponentially stable, if there exist scalars and such that .
System (6) can be abbreviated as the following form:

Therefore, by Definition 1, the T-S fuzzy time-delay system (6) is exponentially stable.
Next, we show that for any nonzero , system (6) satisfies (8) under the zero initial condition. To this end, we introduce
