Based on the idea of Continuous Fuzzy Guidance Law (CFGL), a andldquo;three-phase fuzzy guidanceandrdquo; (TFG) law is proposed for the class of surface to air homing missiles. The current approach enables the guidance law to track a maneuvering target from the beginning of the launch phase up to the terminal one while itdynamically attempts to keep miss-distance, flight time and control effort...

There are varieties of QFD combination forms available that can help management to choose the right model for his/her types of problem. The proposed MOCC-QFD-FMEA model is a right model to include variety of objectives as well as the risk factors into the model of the problem. Due to the fact that the model also takes into consideration the concept of Fuzzy set, it further allows management...

The most recent approaches of multi-objective optimization constitute application of meta-heuristic algorithms for which, parameter tuning is still a challenge. The present work hybridizes swarm intelligence with fuzzy operators to extend crisp values of the main control parameters into especial fuzzy sets that are constructed based on a number of prescribed facts. Such parameter-less particle ...

This paper considers the identification and fuzzy controller design for nonlinear uncertain systems in presence of unknown input time-delay. Firstly, a time-delay Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) type fuzzy neural system (TDFN) is proposed to identify a class of nonlinear input time-delay systems. The input-output signals of nonlinear systems are used to identify the system dynamics and unknown time-de...

The prevalent communications networks suffer from lack of spectrum and spectrum inefficiency. This has motivated researchers to develop cognitive radio (CR) as a smart and dynamic radio access promised solution. A major challenge to this new technology is how to make fair assignment of available spectrum to unlicensed users, particularly for smart grids communication. This paper introduces an i...

Petri Net (PN) is effective graphical, mathematical, simulation, and control tool for Discrete Event Systems (DES). But, with the growth in the complexity of modern industrial, and communication systems, PN found themselves inadequate to address the problems of uncertainty, and imprecision in data. This gave rise to amalgamation of Fuzzy logic with Petri nets and a new tool emerged with the nam...

The Fuzzy hybridization technique for intelligent systems have become of research interests in a variety of research areas over the past decade. There are limitations faced by all popular fuzzy systems architectures when they are applied to applications with a large number of inputs (more than three). The present paper proposes a novel adaptive fuzzy inference system for multi-sensors mobile ro...

This paper presents a way that fuzzy logic can be used in high level control functions. Specifically, we examine the use of fuzzy logic in supervisory control, for selecting discrete control actions, identifying the operating environment and evaluating controller performance. Proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers are widely used in excitation control of power systems, they exh ibit...

Fuzzy associative memories (FAMs) and, in particular, the class of implicative fuzzy associative memories (IFAMs) can be used to implement fuzzy rule-based systems. In this way, a variety of applications can be dealt with. Since there are infinitely many IFAM models, we are confronted with the problem of selecting the best IFAM model for a given application. In this paper, we restrict ourselves...

This work describes a novel fuzzy-sets-based method to solve a particular class of quadratic programming problems which have vagueness coefficients in the objective function. Quadratic programming problems are of utmost importance in an increasing variety of practical fields. In addition, as the ambiguity and vagueness are natural and ever-present in real-life situations requiring solutions, it...
