Due to computational burden and dynamic uncertainty, the classical model-based control approaches are hard to be implemented in the multivariable robotic systems. In this paper, a model-free fuzzy sliding mode control based on neural network is proposed. In classical sliding mode controllers, system dynamics and system parameters are required to compute the equivalent control. In Radial Basis F...

The notion of a transitive closure of a fuzzy relation is very useful for clustering in pattern recognition, for fuzzy databases, etc. It is based on translating the standard definition of transitivity and transitive closure into fuzzy terms. This definition works fine, but to some extent it does not fully capture our understanding of transitivity. The reason is that this definition is based on...

AbSlracl: Algorilhms for providing a quanlitati\e measure of edge ambIguity are described through fuzzy measures in a set. An IOdex is derined whose value IS maximum fOJ a grey lone image and decreases as the fnzzmess In detecting edges decreases. The inherent fuzzifying properly of the S-funclion is found to enable one nOI 10 use the tNT operator for contrasl enhancement and 10 save the time o...

A method for representing and manipulating imprecise and vague information in engineering design is described. Designers and customers preferences are captured with Fuzzy sets. Formal methods for including noise, trade-o strategies and design iteration are included. Introduction Imprecision and vagueness are intrinsic aspects of engineering design. If (at the start of a design process) a propos...

15 evaluate the correction term for each triple in the left side of table 1, but for brevity of exposition we will evaluate this term only for a sample of each class (T 2 and T 4).

The double lepton pair decay modes of the KL meson are analyzed including all contributions of order p in Chiral Perturbation Theory. The experimentally established eeee mode and the recently observed eeμμ mode are discussed in detail. Typeset using REVTEX 0 In this note we reconsider the double lepton pair decays KL → llll that were studied many years ago by Miyazaki and Takasugi [1]. The two ...

This paper presents lessons learned during the development of NASA's Systems Test and Operations Language (STOL) Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), being developed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center with support by Carlow Associates Incorporated and Computer Sciences Corporation. The purpose of the intelligent tutor is to train STOL users by adapting tutoring based on inferred student strength...
