ABSTRACT

In the previous chapters, a number of control design approaches to T-S fuzzy systems have been presented under a common assumption that the parameters of T-S fuzzy systems are known a priori. However, if the parameters of T-S fuzzy systems are not known a priori or if the parameters of T-S fuzzy systems are time-varying, one would not be able to apply those approaches. Instead, some kind of adaptive mechanism has to be adopted. In this chapter, two approaches to adaptive control of T-S fuzzy systems are presented. The basic idea is to design adaptive controllers in such a way that the global closed-loop adaptive control system is guaranteed to be stable.
