This paper is concerned with the sliding mode control of nonlinear singular systems in terms of the interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy model. To better approximate the nonlinear systems, the modeling errors are considered in the IT2 fuzzy model. The uncertainties in membership functions are expressed based on their boundedness. Admissibility conditions are obtained via a linear matrix inequalities approach. A new reaching law-based sliding controller is presented by choosing a typical sliding surface to analyze the sliding motion, such that all of the input gains are allowed to be different and the chattering of the system can be minimized with a guaranteed H∞ performance. The feasibility of the proposed control method is verified by simulation results.
