Abstract The stability control problem is considered for a class of Fuzzy Bilinear Systems (FBS) with time- varying delay in both state and input. Based on the Parallel Distributed Compensation (PDC) method and free-weighting matrices,some sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the global asymptotically stability of the overall fuzzy system. The stabilization conditions are further formulated into Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) so that the desired controller can be easily obtained by using the Matlab LMI toolbox. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the presented approach.
