in this paper, an observer based fuzzy adaptive controller (fac) is designed fora class of large scale systems with non-canonical non-affine nonlinear subsystems. it isassumed that functions of the subsystems and the interactions among subsystems areunknown. by constructing a new class of state observer for each follower, the proposedconsensus control method solves the problem of unmeasured sta...

some applications are critical and must designed fault tolerant system. usually voting algorithm is one of the principle elements of a fault tolerant system. two kinds of voting algorithm are used in most applications, they are majority voting algorithm and weighted average algorithm these algorithms have some problems. majority confronts with the problem of threshold limits and voter of weight...

The rapid development of technology, the Internet, and the development of electronic commerce have led to the emergence of recommender systems. These systems will assist the users in finding and selecting their desired items. The accuracy of the advice in recommender systems is one of the main challenges of these systems. Regarding the fuzzy systems capabilities in determining the borders of us...

With increased application of fuzzy logic in complex control systems, there is a need for a structured methodological approach in the development of fuzzy logic systems. Current fuzzy logic systems are developed based on individualistic bases and cannot face the challenge of interacting with other (fuzzy) systems in a dynamic environment. In this chapter a method for development of fuzzy system...

The purpose of this study is to find the percentiles of fuzzy numbersand to demonstrate their applications, which include finding weightedmeans, dispersion indices, and the percentile intervals of fuzzy numbers. Thecrisp approximations of fuzzy numbers introduced in this paper are new andinteresting for the comparison of fuzzy environments, such as a variety of economic,financial, and engineeri...

Both Takagi–Sugeno (TS) and Mamdani fuzzy systems are known to be universal approximators. In this paper, we investigate whether one type of the fuzzy approximators is more economical than the other type. The TS fuzzy systems in this study are the typical two-input single-output TS fuzzy systems: they employ trapezoidal or triangular input fuzzy sets, arbitrary fuzzy rules with linear rule cons...
