This　article　concerns　the　finite-time　performance　analysis　for　switched　Takagi-Sugeno　fuzzy　(STSF)　systems　subject　to　time-varying　delay.　Since　the　existing　relevant　results　for　finite-time　synthesis　of　general　switched　systems　require　the　finite-time　stability　property　of　the　individual　subsystem,　a　more　general　situation　that　the　STSF　systems　comprised　fully　of　finite-time　unstable　delayed　subsystems　are　considered　in　the　investigation.　For　surmounting　this　situation,　a　novel　time-dependent　multiple　Lyapunov-Krasovskii　functional　approach　is　developed　by　integrating　a　ranged　dwell　time　switching　mechanism.　Then,　the　corresponding　(input-output)　finite-time　stability　criteria　with　less　conservativeness　are　simultaneously　derived　for　the　(perturbed)　STSF　delayed　systems　to　be　(input-output)　finite-time　stable　over　the　concerned　finite-time　interval.　Finally,　two　illustrative　examples　are　provided　to　demonstrate　the　accuracy　and　superiority　of　the　developed　(input-output)　finite-time　analysis　framework.　©　1993-2012　IEEE.
