About this title

From the Back Cover:

The emerging, powerful fuzzy control paradigm has led to the worldwide success of countless commercial products and real–world applications. Fuzzy control is exceptionally practical and cost–effective due to its unique ability to accomplish tasks without knowing the mathematical model of the system, even if it is nonlinear, time varying, and complex. Nevertheless, compared with the conventional control technology, most fuzzy control applications are developed in an ad hoc manner with little analytical understanding and without rigorous system analysis and design. Fuzzy Control and Modeling is the only book that establishes the analytical foundations for fuzzy control and modeling in relation to the conventional linear and nonlinear theories of control and systems. The coverage is up–to–date, comprehensive, in–depth, and rigorous. The utility of the theoretical development is illustrated by numeric examples and applications.

In the foreword to Fuzzy Control and Modeling, Professor Lotfi Zadeh, the founder of fuzzy logic, declares: "Professor Ying′s book contains much that is new, important, and detailed.... His linkage of basic theory to real–world applications is very impressive.... The last chapter in the book deals with a subject in which Professor Ying is a foremost authority, namely, application of fuzzy control to biomedical systems.... Professor Ying′s work should go a long way toward countering the view that fuzzy control is a collection of applications without a solid theory. The deep theory of fuzzy control developed by Professor Ying is of great importance both as a theory and as a foundation for major advances in applications of fuzzy control in industry, biomedicine, and other fields."

Important topics discussed include:

• Structures of fuzzy controllers/models with respect to conventional controllers/models
• Analysis of fuzzy control and modeling in relation to their conventional counterparts
• Stability analysis of fuzzy systems and design of fuzzy control systems
• Sufficient and necessary conditions on fuzzy systems as universal approximators
• Real–time fuzzy control systems for treatment of life–critical problems in biomedicine

Fuzzy Control and Modeling is self–contained and is an invaluable resource for professionals and students in diverse technical fields, who desire to analytically study fuzzy control and modeling.

About the Author:

Doug Price is Weinstein Professor of European Archaeology and Director of the Laboratory for Archaeological Chemistry at the University of WisconsinMadison, where he has been on the faculty for more than 35 years. He was also 6th Century Chair in Archaeological Science at the University of Aberdeen for several years beforehis retirement. He is currently Honorary Professor in the Department of Prehistoric Archaeology at the University of Aarhus, Denmark. His research has involved substantial fieldwork on the beginnings of agriculture in southern Scandinavia and laboratory studies using strontium isotopes to study prehistoric human mobility. He has been involved in fieldwork in Denmark, Ireland, Wisconsin, Michigan, the Netherlands, Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, Israel, and New Mexico. He likes archaeology, most children, cooking, college football. He doesn't like lengthy, self-promoting descriptions by a book's author.
