By adding some novel terms, a novel fuzzy time-dependent Lyapunov每Krasovskii functional is proposed to fully capture the available characteristics of the actual sampling pattern. Sufficient conditions are derived to determine the regularity, absence of impulses and asymptotic stability of the system by using Lyapunov stability theorems. Then, the fuzzy sampled-data controller is obtained by analysing the admissible condition. One practical example involving a truck每trailer system is considered. It is shown that the proposed method and the designed controller for the system are effective and that less conservativeness can be obtained %K Singular system %K sampled-data control %K Lyapunov每Krasovskii functional %K Takagi每Sugeno fuzzy model %K admissible condition %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0142331217740420
