Introducing a fundamental theory of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, this book presents a practical theory for automatic control of uncertain and ill-modeled systems encountered in many engineering applications. It covers basic fuzzy mathematics and fuzzy systems theory and explores some industrial application examples.

To keep pace with and further advance the rapidly developing field of applied control technologies, this book provides systematic training in the analytic theory and rigorous design of fuzzy systems. Almost entirely self-contained, it establishes a brief, yet sufficient foundation for designing and analyzing fuzzy intelligent and control systems. It clearly explains fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, fuzzy inference, approximate reasoning, fuzzy rule base, basic fuzzy PID control systems, and more. This handy reference guide includes teaching examples as well as problem exercises, and it can easily be...

The 1960s were perhaps a decade of confusion, when scientists faced d- culties in dealing with imprecise information and complex dynamics. A new set theory and then an in?nite-valued logic of Lot? A. Zadeh were so c- fusing that they were called fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic; a deterministic system found by E. N. Lorenz to have random behaviours was so unusual that it was lately named a chaotic system. Just like irrational and imaginary numbers, negative energy, anti-matter, etc., fuzzy logic and chaos were gr- ually and eventually accepted by many, if not all, scientists and engineers as...

Discrete H Optimization is concerned with the study of H optimization for digital signal processing and discrete-time control systems. The first three chapters present the basic theory and standard methods in digital filtering and systems from the frequency-domain approach, followed by a discussion of the general theory of approximation in Hardy spaces. AAK theory is introduced, first for finite-rank operators and then more generally, before being extended to the multi-input/multi-output setting. This mathematically rigorous book is self-contained and suitable for...

A presentation of achievements in the challenging field of chaos in circuits and systems, with emphasis on engineering perspectives, methodologies, circuitry design techniques, and potential applications of chaos and bifurcation. A combination of overview, tutorial and technical articles, the volume describes state-of-the-art research on significant problems in this field. It should be suitable for readers ranging from graduate students, university professors, laboratory researchers and industrial practitioners to applied mathematicians and physicists in electrical, electronic, mechanical,...

This invaluable book is a unique collection of tributes to outstanding discoveries pioneered by Leon Chua in nonlinear circuits, cellular neural networks, and chaos. It is comprised of three parts. The first - cellular nonlinear networks, nonlinear circuits and cellular automata - deals with Chua's Lagrangian circuits, cellular wave computers, bio-inspired robotics and neuro-morphic architectures, toroidal chaos, synaptic cellular automata, history of Chua's circuits, cardiac arrhythmias, local activity principle, symmetry breaking and complexity, bifurcation trees, and Chua's views on...

Prediction of behavior of the dynamical systems, analysis and modeling of its structure is vitally important problem in engineering, economy and science today. Examples of such systems can be seen in the world around us and of course in almost every scientific discipline including such exotic domains like the earth's atmosphere, turbulent fluids, economies (exchange rate and stock markets), population growth, physics (control of plasma), information flow in social networks and its dynamics, chemistry and complex networks. To understand such dynamics and to use it in research or industrial...

In particular, a general model for studying time evolution of transition networks, deflection routing in complex networks, recommender systems for social networks analysis and mining, strategy selection in networked evolutionary games, integration and methods in computational biology, are discussed in detail.
