Abstract Selective maintenance problem plays an essential role in reliability optimization decision-making problems. Systems are a configuration of several components, and there situations the system needs small intervals or break for actions, during expert carried out actions to replace repair deteriorated components systems. Because uncertainty associated with component’s operational time, fa...

in this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy linear programming (abbreviated to fflp) problems. also, we employ linear programming (lp) with equality constraints to find a nonegative fuzzy number vector x which satisfies ax =b, where a is a fuzzy number matrix. then we investigate the existence of a positive solution of fully fuzzy linear system (ffls).

A ball balancing beam is a nonlinear dynamic system which is quite di cult to control using conventional methods since some special mathematical techniques and control theory knowledge are required to derive the equations. There are di cult issues in this system: it has delayed feedback associated with control actions; and the \jumping ball" phenomenon brings sensor uncertainty. Balancing is es...

Abstract: This paper presents the robust stability analysis and design methodology of the fuzzy feedback linearization control systems. Uncertainty and disturbances with known bounds are assumed to be included in the Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models representing the nonlinear plants. L2 robust stability of the closed system is analyzed by casting the systems into the diagonal norm bounded linear...

Introduction: Researchers have employed surface electromyography (EMG) to study the human masticatory system and the relationship between the activity of masticatory muscles and the mechanical features of mastication. This relationship has several applications in food texture analysis, control of prosthetic limbs, rehabilitation, and teleoperated robots. Materials and Methods: In this paper, w...

Stability is of primary importance for any control systems. Stability of both linear and nonlinear uncertain systems has received a considerable attention in the past decades (see for example, Tanaka & Sugeno, 1992; Tanaka, Ikeda, & Wang, 1996; Feng, Cao, Kees, et al. 1997; Teixeira & Zak, 1999; Lee, Park, & Chen, 2001; Park, Kim, & Park, 2001; Chen, Liu, & Tong, 2006; Lam & Leung, 2007, and re...

HLP (hub location problem) tries to find locations of hub facilities and assignment of nodes to extended facilities. Hubs are facilities to collect, arrange, and distribute commodities in telecommunication networks, cargo delivery systems, etc. Hubs are very crucial and their inaccessibility impresses on network whole levels. In this paper, first, total reliability of the network is defined bas...

In this work, a version of the technique for order preference by similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) with entropic regularization approach is developed for solving the fuzzy multi-objective nonlinear programming (MONLP) problems. Applying the basic principle of compromise of TOPSIS, the fuzzy MONLP problem can be reduced into a fuzzy bi-objective nonlinear programming problem. Moreover, followin...

In this paper, Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) based on a Fuzzy Logic model is illustrated. The control technique is then applied to a selected nonlinear application to show the performance of the Fuzzy-Based Generalized Predictive Control (FGPC). The results of the presented FGPC method are compared with standard GPC and Proportional-Integral-Derivative Control (PID). The results revealed...

in this paper, we study a coupled system of nonlinear fractional differential equations with multi-point boundary condi- tions. the differential operator is taken in the riemann-liouville sense. applying the schauder fixed-point theorem and the contrac- tion mapping principle, two existence results are obtained for the following system d^{alpha}_{0+}x(t)=fleft(t,y(t),d^{p}_{0+}y(t)right), t in (0,...
