In this paper, we consider a fundamental theoretical question, Why does fuzzy control have such good performance for a wide variety of practical problems?. We try to answer this fundamental question by proving that for each fixed fuzzy logic belonging to a wide class of fuzzy logics, and for each fixed type of membership function belonging to a wide class of membership functions, the fuzzy logi...

based on the problems caused by today conventional vehicles, much attention has been put on the fuel cell vehicles researches. however, using a fuel cell system is not adequate alone in transportation applications, because the load power profile includes transient that is not compatible with the fuel cell dynamic. to resolve this problem, hybridization of the fuel cell and energy storage device...

in this paper, an optimal adaptive fuzzy integral sliding mode control is presented to control the robot manipulator position tracking in the presence of uncertainties and permanent magnet dc motor. in the proposed control, sliding surface of the sliding mode control is defined according to the information of position tracking error, derivatives, and error integral. in order to estimate bounds ...

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...

In previous papers, we introduced a new reasoning method based on quantifying linguistic domains, established a new fuzzy control algorithm, called hedge-algebras-based controller (HAC), and applied it to solve some fuzzy control problems. The HAC does not require fuzzy sets to provide the semantics of the linguistic terms used in the fuzzy rule system rather the semantics is obtained through t...

In this paper, optimal control for linear singular fuzzy system is obtained using Simulink. To obtain the optimal control, the solution of MRDE is computed using Simulink approach. The Simulink solution is equivalent or very close to the exact solution of the problem. An illustrative numerical example is presented for the proposed method.

–This paper proposes a fuzzy based procedure to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem. Comparison studies between two linear fuzzy models namely triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy models, to solve ORPD problem is carried out for control and dependent system constraints. The proposed fuzzy ORPD model handles fuzzy objectives and constraints to obtain the optimal operational sett...

This paper presents a quantitative analysis of evolvability with evolutionary activity statistics in an evolutionary fuzzy system. In general, one can estimate the performance of an evolved fuzzy controller by its fitness. However, it is difficult to explain how its fitness or adaptability has been obtained. Evolutionary activity is used to measure the evolvability of fuzzy rules and explain wh...

In this paper, the fuzzy linear programming formulation of fuzzy maximal flow problems are proposed and on the basis of the proposed formulation a method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy maximal flow problems. In the proposed method all the parameters are represented by triangular fuzzy numbers. By using the proposed method the fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy maximal flow...
