Marginal linearization method in modeling on fuzzy control systems*

Abstract

Abstract Marginal linearization method in modeling on fuzzy control systems is proposed, which is to deal with the nonlinear model with variable coefficients. The method can turn a nonlinear model with variable coefficients into a linear model with variable coefficients in the way that the membership functions of the fuzzy sets in fuzzy partitions of the universes are changed from triangle waves into rectangle waves. However, the linearization models are incomplete in their forms because of their lacking some items. For solving this problem, joint approximation by using linear models is introduced. The simulation results show that marginal linearization models are of higher approximation precision than their original nonlinear models.
