In this paper, we talk about the application of fuzzy control techniques to the nonlinear systems. We propose a new scheme of fuzzy optimal control techniques in which T-S (Takagi-Sugeno) fuzzy model is used for the modeling. We adopt the PDC (parallel distributed control) as our controller which is also modeled by fuzzy rules. Both the discrete system case and the continuous system case are di...

In this paper, a new approach is proposed in order to select an optimal membership function for inputs of wind speed prediction system. Then using a fuzzy method and the stochastic characteristics of wind speed in the previous year, the wind speed modeling is performed and the wind speed for the future year will be predicted. In this proposed method, the average and the standard deviation of in...

Conventional (type-1) fuzzy logic controllers have been commonly used in various power converter applications. Generally, in these controllers, the experience and knowledge of human experts are needed to decide parameters associated with the rule base and membership functions. The rule base and the membership function parameters may often mean different things to different experts. This may cau...

This paper investigates optimal control problem for discrete-time interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy systems with poles constraint. An IT2 fuzzy controller is characterized by two predefined functions, and the membership functions and the premise rules of the IT2 fuzzy controller can be chosen freely. The pole assignment is considered, which is constrained in a presented disk region. Based on Lyapunov...

In this paper, we will proposed a hybrid method to generate fuzzy membership function automatically. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used as optimized algorithm, supplement the performance of fuzzy system. The PSO is able to generate an optimal set of parameter for the membership functions automatic adjustment. Fuzzy control system that automatically backs up a truck to a specified point o...

A new complex neuro-fuzzy self-learning approach to the problem of function approximation is proposed, where complex fuzzy sets are used to design a complex neuro-fuzzy system as the function approximator. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and recursive least square estimator (RLSE) algorithm are used in hybrid way to adjust the free parameters of the proposed complex neuro-fuzzy syst...

I. Abstract Nowadays people are strongly dependent on cars for doing their tasks, but they usually are not aware of hazards which are awaiting them. For instance, since people travel with cars, their human bodies undergo in fatigue, restlessness, and sometimes health problems. Human body reaction under external vibration depends on the amplitude, frequency, and acceleration of the applied exter...

Inventory model under risk that demand is uncertain is recognized. In this paper, the fuzzy demand per day and fuzzy lead time on a cycle in fuzzy inventory control system are assumed to trapezoidal distribution, trapezoidal fuzzy number by decision maker. A fuzzy inventory model under manager’s preference for order quantity is presented first. This model is given by fuzzy total annual inventor...
