In this paper, the convergence of parameter estimates and the interactions among the two adaptive fuzzy systems constituting an indirect adaptive fuzzy controller are studied, both analytically and by means of simulations with a second-order nonlinear system. The analytical results and the simulations, performed with various initial conditions and learning rates, highlight how the interactions ...

Numerous models have been proposed in the last two decades for the deterioration of buried pipes. The most prominent approach has been the Markovian deterioration processes (MDP), which requires that the condition of the deteriorating system be encoded as an ordinal condition state. This encoding is based on numerous distress indicators obtained possibly from direct and indirect observations, a...

In this paper, a neurofuzzy adaptive control framework for discrete-time systems based on kernel smoothing regression is developed. Kernel regression is a nonparametric statistics technique used to determine a regression model where no model assumption has been done. Due to similarity with fuzzy systems, kernel smoothing is used to obtain knowledge about the structure of the fuzzy system and th...

A new design approach for an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller (AFSMC) for linear systems with mismatched time-varying uncertainties is presented. The coefficient matrix of the sliding function can be designed to satisfy a sliding coefficient matching condition provided time-varying uncertainties are bounded. With the sliding coefficient matching condition satisfied, an AFSMC is proposed t...

Due to competition in the market, organization must have quality improvement program. Statistical quality control and especially control charts are proven quality improvement techniques. Control charts are based on the quality characteristics measurement in the course of time. There are some situations such as measurement error, sophisticated measurement instruments, costly skilled inspectors, ...

In this paper, we give some new definitions of M-fuzzy metric spaces and we prove a common fixed point theorem for six mappings under the condition of weakly compatible mappings in complete M-fuzzy metric spaces.

In this paper, we shall introduce the fuzzyw-distance, then prove a common fixed point theorem with respectto fuzzy w-distance for two mappings under the condition ofweakly compatible in complete fuzzy metric spaces.

In this paper, a design method for a robust PI/PID controller for fuzzy parametric uncertain systems is proposed. An uncertain Linear Time Invariant (LTI) system with fuzzy coefficients is referred as fuzzy parametric uncertain system. The fuzzy coefficients are approximated by intervals (crisp sets) using the nearest interval approximation approach to obtain an interval system. Further, a robu...
