There are many concepts that are used in fuzzy sets that sometimes become useful when studying fuzzy control. The following problems introduce some of the more popular fuzzy set concepts that not treate were not treated earlier in the chapter. (a)The\support\ of a fuzzy set with membership function (x) is the(crisp) set of all points x on the universe of discourse such
Exercise 2.3(Inverted Pendulum: Gaussian Membership Functions): Suppose that for the inverted pendulum example, we use Gaussian membership functions as defined in Table 2. 4 on page 53 rather than the triangular membership functions. To do this, use the same center values as we had for the triangular membership functions, use the\left\and\right\membership functions shown in Table 2. 4 for the outer edges of the input
Fuzzy control does not exist as an isolated topic devoid of relationships to other fields, and it is important to understand how it relates to these other fields in order to strengthen your understanding of it. We have emphasized that fuzzy control has its foundations in conventional control and that there are many relationships to techniques, ideas, and methodologi there. Fuzzy control is also an\intelligent control\technique
