Direct adaptive control via decomposed fuzzy Petri net

Abstract

This paper presents a novel direct adaptive controller design via decomposed fuzzy Petri net to solve the control tracking problem. The controller combines decomposed fuzzy system (DFS) and Petri net to achieve good performance with less computation time. In the DFS structure, fuzzy variables are decomposed into several layers. DFS has been shown to have fast learning capability but with a complicated system structure. In this study, Petri net is employed to form a mechanism in constructing meaningful component fuzzy systems in the DFS so that the number of fuzzy components can be dramatically reduced without significantly degrading the modeling performance. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed controller scheme is verified by simulation results.
