On the dynamical properties of fuzzy control systems

Summary form only given. The field of the so-called emerging technologies, ie., fuzzy logic control, neuro-fuzzy control, has witnessed quite a sizable introduction of application products, mainly from Japan and Europe and recently from the US. The soft-computing community (fuzzy logic, neural networks and genetic algorithms) has begun to respond to the barrage of concerns about the analytical issues in fuzzy control and neuro-fuzzy control. This paper discusses the essential dynamical properties of a system that is controlled via fuzzy logic and fuzzy sets. It considers issues of controllability, stability and robustness.
