On the quasi-controllability of continuous-time dynamic fuzzy control systems

This paper gives the controllability analysis of continuous-time dynamic fuzzy control system from the aspect of fuzzy differential equations. The fuzzy state is different from the crisp state, as the counterpart of the controllability concept in the classical control theory, the controllable target state must be restricted within some limits. Hence, the concepts of admissible controllable state subset and quasi-controllability are introduced to describe the controllability property for fuzzy control system. The sufficient and necessary conditions for the fuzzy control system to be quasi-controllable are obtained and some examples are given to demonstrate the problems discussed in this paper.
