On tuning nonlinear fuzzy control systems
Carlos Alberto Murari Pinheiro, Fernando A. C. Gomide · 2002
We show how frequency domain design procedures can be effectively used in nonlinear fuzzy control systems. For this purpose, theoretical justifications of the approach discussed here are provided to show that solid notions from nonlinear system and control theory can be successfully applied in the fuzzy control domain. The methodology proposed is very simple, but powerful, effective and practical. In addition, it supports systematic control system design and stability analysis in the frequency domain for systems described by mathematical, linguistic or experimental models. Several case studies are included to illustrate the usefulness of frequency response in conventional fuzzy control systems analysis and design.
