However, this kind of methodology usually suffers increasing computational burden associated with formulation and solution, particularly in the face of complex PLMFs. Motivated by these challenges, this contribution introduces a novel approach free of additional binary variables to formulate FNLP with complex PLMFs, leading to superior performance in reducing computational complexity as well as simplifying formulation. A depth discussion about the approach is conducted in this paper, along with a numerical case study to demonstrate its potential benefits.展开更多

This approach supposes the definition of a set of local models valid in a given region or domain. Different strategies exist in the literature and are generally based on a partitioning of the non-linear system’s full range of operation into multiple smaller operating regimes each of which is associated with a locally valid model or controller. However, most of these strategies, which suppose the determination of these local models as well as their validity domain, remain arbitrary and are generally fixed thanks to a certain a priori knowledge of the system whatever its order. Recently, we have proposed a new approach to derive a multimodel basis which allows us to limit the number of models in the basis to almost four models. Meanwhile, the transition problem between the different models, which may use either a simple commutation or a fusion technique, remains still arise. In this plenary talk, a fuzzy fusion technique is presented and has the following main advantages: （1） use of a fuzzy partitioning in order to determine the validity of each model which enhances the robustness of the solution; 2 introduction, besides the four extreme models, of another model, called average model, determined as an average of the boundary models.展开更多
