Impulsive control for a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model with time-delay and its application to chaotic systems

A control approach where the fuzzy logic methodology is combined with impulsive control is developed for controlling some time-delay chaotic systems in this paper. We first introduce impulses into each subsystem with delay of the Takagi-Sugeno （TS） fuzzy IF-THEN rules and then present a unified TS impulsive fuzzy model with delay for chaos control. Based on the new model, a simple and unified set of conditions for controlling chaotic systems is derived by the Lyapunov Razumikhin method, and a design procedure for estimating bounds on control matrices is also given. Several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of this method.

Gene Coding Sequence Identification Using Kernel Fuzzy C-Mean Clustering and Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Model

Sequence analysis technology under big data provides unprecedented opportunities for modern life science. A novel gene coding sequence identification method is proposed in this paper. Firstly, an improved short-time Fourier transform algorithm based on Morlet wavelet is applied to extract the power spectrum of DNA sequence. Then, threshold value determination method based on kernel fuzzy C-mean clustering is used to combine Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) data of exon and intron into a sequence, classify the sequence into two types, calculate the weighted sum of two SNR clustering centers obtained and the discrimination threshold value. Finally, exon interval endpoint identification algorithm based on Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy identification model is presented to train Takagi-Sugeno model, optimize model parameters with Levenberg-Marquardt least square method, complete model and determine fuzzy rule. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, example tests are conducted on typical gene sequence sample data.

This work aimed to construct an epidemic model with fuzzy parameters.Since the classical epidemic model doesnot elaborate on the successful interaction of susceptible and infective people,the constructed fuzzy epidemicmodel discusses the more detailed versions of the interactions between infective and susceptible people.Thenext-generation matrix approach is employed to find the reproduction number of a deterministic model.Thesensitivity analysis and local stability analysis of the systemare also provided.For solving the fuzzy epidemic model,a numerical scheme is constructed which consists of three time levels.The numerical scheme has an advantage overthe existing forward Euler scheme for determining the conditions of getting the positive solution.The establishedscheme also has an advantage over existing non-standard finite difference methods in terms of order of accuracy.The stability of the scheme for the considered fuzzy model is also provided.From the plotted results,it can beobserved that susceptible people decay by rising interaction parameters.

Hybrid Dynamic Variables-Dependent Event-Triggered Fuzzy Model Predictive Control

This article focuses on dynamic event-triggered mechanism(DETM)-based model predictive control(MPC) for T-S fuzzy systems.A hybrid dynamic variables-dependent DETM is carefully devised,which includes a multiplicative dynamic variable and an additive dynamic variable.The addressed DETM-based fuzzy MPC issue is described as a “min-max” optimization problem(OP).To facilitate the co-design of the MPC controller and the weighting matrix of the DETM,an auxiliary OP is proposed based on a new Lyapunov function and a new robust positive invariant(RPI) set that contain the membership functions and the hybrid dynamic variables.A dynamic event-triggered fuzzy MPC algorithm is developed accordingly,whose recursive feasibility is analysed by employing the RPI set.With the designed controller,the involved fuzzy system is ensured to be asymptotically stable.Two examples show that the new DETM and DETM-based MPC algorithm have the advantages of reducing resource consumption while yielding the anticipated performance.

Computation Tree Logic Model Checking of Multi-Agent Systems Based on Fuzzy Epistemic Interpreted Systems

Model checking is an automated formal verification method to verify whether epistemic multi-agent systems adhere to property specifications.Although there is an extensive literature on qualitative properties such as safety and liveness,there is still a lack of quantitative and uncertain property verifications for these systems.In uncertain environments,agents must make judicious decisions based on subjective epistemic.To verify epistemic and measurable properties in multi-agent systems,this paper extends fuzzy computation tree logic by introducing epistemic modalities and proposing a new Fuzzy Computation Tree Logic of Knowledge(FCTLK).We represent fuzzy multi-agent systems as distributed knowledge bases with fuzzy epistemic interpreted systems.In addition,we provide a transformation algorithm from fuzzy epistemic interpreted systems to fuzzy Kripke structures,as well as transformation rules from FCTLK formulas to Fuzzy Computation Tree Logic(FCTL)formulas.Accordingly,we transform the FCTLK model checking problem into the FCTL model checking.This enables the verification of FCTLK formulas by using the fuzzy model checking algorithm of FCTL without additional computational overheads.Finally,we present correctness proofs and complexity analyses of the proposed algorithms.Additionally,we further illustrate the practical application of our approach through an example of a train control system.

Boundedness and Positivity Preserving Numerical Analysis of a Fuzzy-Parameterized Delayed Model for Foot and Mouth Disease Dynamics

Foot-and-mouth disease(FMD)is a viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals including cattle,pigs,and sheep,hence causing export bans among others,causing high economic losses due to reduced productivity.The global effect of FMD is most felt where livestock rearing forms an important source of income.It is therefore important to understand the modes of transmission of FMD to control its spread and prevent its occurrence.This work intends to address these dynamics by including the efficacy of active migrant animals transporting the disease from one area to another in a fuzzy mathematical modeling framework.Historical models of epidemics are determinable with a set of deterministic parameters and this does not reflect on real-life scenarios as observed in FMD.Fuzzy theory is used in this model as it permits the inclusion of uncertainties in the model;this makes the model more of a reality regarding disease transmission.A time lag,in this case,denotes the incubation period and other time-related factors affecting the spread of FMD and,therefore,is added to the current model for FMD.To that purpose,the analysis of steady states and the basic reproduction number are performed and,in addition,the stability checks are conveyed in the fuzzy environment.For the numerical solution of the model,we derive the Forward Euler Method and the fuzzy delayed non-standard finite difference(FDNSFD)method.Analytical studies of the FDNSFD scheme are performed for convergence,non-negativity,boundedness,and consistency analysis of the numerical projection to guarantee that the numerical model is an accurate discretization of the continuous dynamics of FMD transmission over time.In the following simulation study,we show that the FDNSFD method preserves the characteristics of the constant model and still works if relatively large time steps are employed;this is a bonus over the normal finite difference technique.The study shows how valuable it is to adopt fuzzy theory and time delays when simulating the transmission of the epidemic,especially for such diseases as FMD where uncertainty and migration have a defining role in transmission.This approach gives more sound and flexible grounds for analyzing and controlling the outbreak of FMD in various situations.

Fully Completed Spherical Fuzzy Approach-Based Z Numbers(PHIModel)for Enhanced Group Expert Consensus

This study aims to establish an expert consensus and enhance the efficacy of decision-making processes by integrating Spherical Fuzzy Sets(SFSs)and Z-Numbers(SFZs).A novel group expert consensus technique,the PHImodel,is developed to address the inherent limitations of both SFSs and the traditional Delphi technique,particularly in uncertain,complex scenarios.In such contexts,the accuracy of expert knowledge and the confidence in their judgments are pivotal considerations.This study provides the fundamental operational principles and aggregation operators associated with SFSs and Z-numbers,encompassing weighted geometric and arithmetic operators alongside fully developed operators tailored for SFZs numbers.Subsequently,a case study and comparative analysis are conducted to illustrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed operators and methodologies.Integrating the PHI model with SFZs numbers represents a significant advancement in decision-making frameworks reliant on expert input.Further,this combination serves as a comprehensive tool for decision-makers,enabling them to achieve heightened levels of consensus while concurrently assessing the reliability of expert contributions.The case study results demonstrate the PHI model’s utility in resolving complex decision-making scenarios,showcasing its ability to improve consensus-building processes and enhance decision outcomes.Additionally,the comparative analysis highlights the superiority of the integrated approach over traditional methodologies,underscoring its potential to revolutionize decision-making practices in uncertain environments.

Diabetes mellitus is associated with foot ulcers,which frequently pave the way to lower-extremity amputation.Neuropathy,trauma,deformity,high plantar pressures,and peripheral vascular disease are the most common underlying causes.Around 15%of diabetic patients are affected by diabetic foot ulcer in their lifetime.64 million people are affected by diabetics in India and 40000 amputations are done every year.Foot ulcers are evaluated and classified in a systematic and thorough manner to assist in determining the best course of therapy.This paper proposes a novel model which predicts the threat of diabetic foot ulcer using independent agents for various input values and a combination of fuzzy expert systems.The proposed model uses a classification system to distinguish between each fuzzy framework and its parameters.Based on the severity levels necessary prevention,treatment,and medication are recommended.Combining the results of all the fuzzy frameworks derived from its constituent parameters,a risk-specific medication is recommended.The work also has higher accuracy when compared to other related models.

Stability Analysis of Nonlinear Networked Control System with Integral Quadratic Constraints Performance in Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Model

This paper focuses on the stability analysis of nonlinear networked control system with integral quadratic constraints(IQC) performance, dynamic quantization, variable sampling intervals, and communication delays. By using input-delay and parallel distributed compensation(PDC) techniques, we establish the Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy model for the system, in which the sampling period of the sampler and signal transmission delay are transformed to the refreshing interval of a zero-order holder(ZOH). By the appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii-based methods, a delay-dependent criterion is derived to ensure the asymptotic stability for the system with IQC performance via the H∞ state feedback control. The efficiency of the method is illustrated on a simulation exampler.

New Trends in Fuzzy Modeling Through Numerical Techniques

Amoebiasis is a parasitic intestinal infection caused by the highly pathogenic amoeba Entamoeba histolytica.It is spread through person-toperson contact or by eating or drinking food or water contaminated with feces.Its transmission rate depends on the number of cysts present in the environment.The traditional models assumed a homogeneous and contradictory transmission with reality.The heterogeneity of its transmission rate is a significant factor when modeling disease dynamics.The heterogeneity of disease transmission can be described mathematically by introducing fuzzy theory.In this context,a fuzzy SEIR Amoebiasis disease model is considered in this study.The equilibrium analysis and reproductive number are studied with fuzziness.Two numerical schemes forward Euler method and a nonstandard finite difference(NSFD)approach,are developed for the learned model,and the results of numerical simulations are presented.The numerical and simulation results reveal that the proposed NSFD method provides an adequate representation of the dynamics of the disease despite the uncertainty and heterogeneity.Moreover,the obtained method generates plausible predictions that regulators can use to support decision-making to design and develop control strategies.

Modeling of Computer Virus Propagation with Fuzzy Parameters

Typically,a computer has infectivity as soon as it is infected.It is a reality that no antivirus programming can identify and eliminate all kinds of viruses,suggesting that infections would persevere on the Internet.To understand the dynamics of the virus propagation in a better way,a computer virus spread model with fuzzy parameters is presented in this work.It is assumed that all infected computers do not have the same contribution to the virus transmission process and each computer has a different degree of infectivity,which depends on the quantity of virus.Considering this,the parametersβandγbeing functions of the computer virus load,are considered fuzzy numbers.Using fuzzy theory helps us understand the spread of computer viruses more realistically as these parameters have fixed values in classical models.The essential features of the model,like reproduction number and equilibrium analysis,are discussed in fuzzy senses.Moreover,with fuzziness,two numerical methods,the forward Euler technique,and a nonstandard finite difference(NSFD)scheme,respectively,are developed and analyzed.In the evidence of the numerical simulations,the proposed NSFD method preserves the main features of the dynamic system.It can be considered a reliable tool to predict such types of solutions.
