This paper discusses the finite-time stability of chaotic systems with time-varying delay and parameter uncertainties. A new model based on Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model is proposed for representing chaotic systems. By the new model, finite-time stability of chaotic systems can be converted into stabilization of fuzzy T-S systems with parameter uncertainties. A sufficient condition is given in terms of matrix inequalities, which guarantees the finite-time stability for fuzzy systems can be achieved. Numerical simulations on the chaotic systems are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
