We provide a way to combine matrix Lyapunov systems
with fuzzy rules to form a new fuzzy system called fuzzy dynamical matrix
Lyapunov system, which can be regarded as a new approach to intelligent
control. First, we study the controllability property of the fuzzy dynamical
matrix Lyapunov system and provide a sufficient condition for its controllability
with the use of fuzzy rule base. The significance of our result is that given
a deterministic system and a fuzzy state with rule base, we can determine the
rule base for the control. Further, we discuss the concept of observability and
give a sufficient condition for the system to be observable. The advantage of
our result is that we can determine the rule base for the initial value without
solving the system.
1. Introduction
The importance of control theory in applied
mathematics and its occurrence in several problems such as mechanics,
electromagnetic theory, thermodynamics, and artificial satellites are well
known. In general, fuzzy systems are mainly classified into three categories,
namely pure fuzzy systems, T-S fuzzy systems, and fuzzy logic systems, using
fuzzifiers and defuzzifiers. In this paper, we use fuzzy matrix Lyapunov system
to describe fuzzy logic system. The purpose of this paper is to provide
sufficient conditions for controllability and observability of first-order
fuzzy matrix Lyapunov system modeled by
where is an fuzzy input
matrix called fuzzy control and is an fuzzy output
matrix. Here , and are matrices of
order , whose elements are continuous functions of on .
The problem of controllability and observability for a
system of ordinary differential equations was studied by Barnett and Cameron [1] and for
matrix Lyapunov systems by Murty et al.[2]. Fuzzy control usually decomposes
a complex system into several subsystems according to the human expert's
understanding of the system and uses a simple control law to emulate the human
control strategy.There exist two major types of fuzzy controllers, namely Mamdani fuzzy
controllers and Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy controllers. They mainly differ in the
consequence of fuzzy rules: the former uses fuzzy
sets whereas the latter employs (linear) functions. Takagi and Sugeno [3, 4] propose a type of fuzzy model in which the consequent part of the rules is
defined not by the membership function but by a crisp analytical function. More
and more interest appears to shift towards TS fuzzy controllers in recent
years, as evidenced by the increasing number of papers in this direction and
due to their applications in real world problems (e.g., [5–12]).
Recently, the controllability and observability criteria
for fuzzy dynamical control systems were discussed by Ding and Kandel [13, 14].
In this paper, by converting the fuzzy matrix Lyapunov system into a Kronecker
product system we obtain sufficient conditions for controllability and
observability of the system (1) satisfying (2).
The paper is well organized as follows. In Section 2,
we present some basic definitions and results relating to fuzzy sets [13] and
Kronecker product of matrices. Further, we obtain a unique solution of the
system (1), when is a crisp
continuous matrix. In Section 3, we generate a fuzzy dynamical Lyapunov system,
and also obtain its solution set. In Section 4, we present a sufficient
condition for the controllability of the system and illustrate the results by
suitable examples. In Section 5, we obtain a sufficient condition for the
observability of the fuzzy dynamical Lyapunov system, and the theorem is
highlighted by a suitable example. Finally, in Section 6, we present some
conclusions and future works.
This paper extends some of the results of Ding and
Kandel [13, 14] developed for system of fuzzy differential equations to fuzzy
matrix Lyapunov systems and includes their results as a particular case, when , and are column
vectors of order .
2. Preliminaries
In this section, we present some definitions and
results relating to fuzzy sets [13] and Kronecker product of matrices.

Hausdorff metric defined in . It is easy to show that is a metric in and using
results of [15], we see that is a complete
metric space, but not locally compact. Moreover, the distance verifies that

space. But it can be imbedded isomorphically as a cone in a Banach space [15].
Regarding fundamentals of differentiability and
integrability of fuzzy functions, we refer to Kaleva [17] and Lakshmikantham
and Mohapatra [18].

Definition 3. A mapping is a fuzzy weak
solution to (13) if it is continuous and satisfies the integral equation
If is continuous,
then this weak solution also satisfies (13) and we call it fuzzy strong solution
to (13).

Kronecker products and basic results related to matrix Lyapunov systems.

solution of (17) and is given by

solution of (17), write , then satisfies
(19), hence , .
Consider the vector , where is an arbitrary
vector to be determined so as to satisfy (17),
Hence, the
desired expression follows immediately by noting the fact that and .
3. Formation of Fuzzy Dynamical Lyapunov Systems
Let , , , and define

Now by using the fuzzy control , we show that the following system
determines a fuzzy system.
Assume that is continuous
in . The set is a convex and
compact set in . For any positive number , consider the following differential inclusions:
Let be the solution of (29) satisfying (30).
Claim (i). , for every , .
First, we prove that is nonempty,
compact, and convex in . Since has measurable
selection, we have that is nonempty.
Let , , , .
If for any , then there is a selection such that

Thus is bounded.
For any ,
Therefore
Since and are both
uniformly continuous on , is
equicontinuous. Thus, is relatively
compact. If is closed, then
it is compact.
Let and . For each , there is a such that
Since is closed, then
there exists a subsequence of converging
weakly to . From Mazur's theorem [20], there exists a sequence of
numbers , such that converges
strongly to .
Thus, from (35) we have
From Fatou's
lemma, taking the limit as on both sides
of (36), we have
Thus, , and hence is closed.
Let , , then there exist such that
Let , , then
Since is convex, , we have
that is . Thus is convex.
Therefore, is nonempty,
compact, and convex in . Thus, from Arzela-Ascoli theorem, we know that is compact in for every . Also it is obvious that is convex in . Thus, we have , for every . Hence the claim.
