The paper presents a novel adaptive sliding mode fuzzy control strategy (AFSMC) for maintaining steam temperature in power plants. The AFSMC consists of a learning algorithm inspired by the sliding-mode control (SMC) and fuzzy gain scheduling integral control to compensate system offsets. The performance index for the learning algorithm has a similar structure to the switching variables derived...

1 In the last years fuzzy logic has gained the interest of a growing part of the scienti c community, due to some interesting properties which characterize it as against other kinds of Arti cial Intelligence paradigms. In our view the most interesting properties of fuzzy logic are: a) its similarity with the human reasoning; b) its implicit robustness, coming from the fact that it directly expr...

In this study, a modified quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (MQPSO) approach is proposed to design an optimal fuzzy PID controller for asymptotical stabilization of a pendubot system. In the fuzzy PID controller, parameters are determined by using MQPSO algorithm. The MQPSO method and other PSO methods are then applied to design an optimal fuzzy PID controller in a pendubot system. Co...

This paper is concerned with delay-dependent exponential stability analysis and stabilization for continuous-time T-S fuzzy Markovian jump systems with mode-dependent time-varying delay. By constructing a novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and utilizing some advanced techniques, less conservative conditions are presented to guarantee the closed-loop system is mean-square exponentially stable....

Fuzzy incidence graphs can be used as models for nondeterministic interconnection networks having extra node-edgerelationships. For example, ramps in a highway system may be modeled as a fuzzy incidence graph so that unexpectedflow between cities and highways can be effectively studied and controlled. Like node and edge connectivity in graphs,node connectivity and arc connectivity in fuzzy inci...

Equipping hospital beds uses a great deal of a hospital''''s resources. Therefore, it is essential to consider the hospital beds'''' efficiency. To increase its efficiency, a fuzzy unrestricted model for managing hospital expenses is presented in this paper. The lack of beds in hospitals leads to patients’ admission loss and consecutively profit loss. On the other hand, increasing the bed count...

In the case of widely-uncertain non-linear system control design, it was very difficult to design a single controller to overcome control design specifications in all of its dynamical characteristics uncertainties. To resolve these problems, a new design method of robust fuzzy control proposed. The solution offered was by creating multiple soft-switching with Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model for optim...
