Identification using ANFIS with intelligent hybrid stable learning algorithm approaches

This paper suggests novel hybrid learning algorithm with stable learning laws for adaptive network based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) as a system identifier and studies the stability of this algorithm. The new hybrid learning algorithm is based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) for training the antecedent part and gradient descent (GD) for training the conclusion part. Lyapunov stability theory is used to study the stability of the proposed algorithm. This paper, studies the stability of PSO as an optimizer in training the identifier, for the first time. Stable learning algorithms for the antecedent and consequent parts of fuzzy rules are proposed. Some constraints are obtained and simulation results are given to validate the results. It is shown that instability will not occur for the leaning rate and PSO factors in the presence of constraints. The learning rate can be calculated on-line and will provide an adaptive learning rate for the ANFIS structure. This new learning scheme employs adaptive learning rate that is determined by input–output data.     

Stability analysis of the particle dynamics in bat algorithm: standard and modified versions

Stability and convergence analysis have been previously accomplished for some population-based search and swarm intelligence algorithms like Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm. However, there is no adequate theoretical analysis for Bat Algorithm (BA) in the literature. The BA is a type of optimization algorithms which is inspired by the motion of small bats searching for hunting their preys. In this study, stability and convergence of the particle dynamics in the standard version BA are analyzed, and some restrictions are described. Then, new updating relations have been proposed. Also the dynamics of the algorithm have been investigated, and sufficient conditions for stability have been derived using Lyapunov stability analysis. Extensive simulation is used to examine the findings. The results confirm the theoretical predictions and indicate the stability and convergence of the proposed updating relations.

     

Type-2 fuzzy control for a flexible-joint robot using voltage control strategy

Type-1 fuzzy sets cannot fully handle the uncertainties. To overcome the problem, type-2 fuzzy sets have been proposed. The novelty of this paper is using interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller (IT2FLC) to control a flexible-joint robot with voltage control strategy. In order to take into account the whole robotic system including the dynamics of actuators and the robot manipulator, the voltages of motors are used as inputs of the system. To highlight the capabilities of the control system, a flexible joint robot which is highly nonlinear, heavily coupled and uncertain is used. In addition, to improve the control performance, the parameters of the primary membership functions of IT2FLC are optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO). A comparative study between the proposed IT2FLC and type-1 fuzzy logic controller (T1FLC) is presented to better assess their respective performance in presence of external disturbance and unmodelled dynamics. Stability analysis is presented and the effectiveness of the proposed control approach is demonstrated by simulations using a two-link flexible-joint robot driven by permanent magnet direct current motors. Simulation results show the superiority of the IT2FLC over the T1FLC in terms of accuracy, robustness and interpretability.     

Generalized projective synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems with external disturbance

This paper proposes the generalized projective synchronization (GPS) of uncertain chaotic systems with external disturbance via Gaussian radial basis adaptive sliding mode control (GRBASMC). A sliding surface is adopted to ensure the stability of the error dynamics in sliding mode control. In the neural sliding mode controller, a Gaussian radial basis function is utilized to online estimate the system dynamic function. The adaptation law of the control system is derived in the sense of Lyapunov function, thus the system can be guaranteed to be asymptotically stable.The proposed method allows us to arbitrarily adjust the desired scaling by controlling the slave system. It is not necessary to calculate the Lyapunov exponents and the eigen values of the Jacobian matrix, which makes it simple and convenient. Also, it is a systematic procedure for GPS of chaotic systems and it can be applied to a variety of chaotic systems no matter whether it contains external excitation or not. Note that it needs only one controller to realize GPS no matter how much dimensions the chaotic system contains and the controller is easy to be implemented.The proposed method is applied to three chaotic systems: Genesio system, Lur’e like system and Duffing system.     

DESIGN OF A PREDICTION MODEL FOR CEMENT ROTARY KILN USING WAVELET PROJECTION FUZZY INFERENCE SYSTEM

In a cement factory, a rotary kiln is the most complex component and it plays a key role in the quality and quantity of the final product. This system involves complex nonlinear dynamic equations that have not been completely worked out yet. In conventional modeling procedures, a large number of the involved parameters are crossed out and an approximation model is presented instead. Therefore, the performance of the obtained model is very important and an inaccurate model may cause many problems in the design of a controller. This study presents a Takagi-Sugeno (TS)-type fuzzy system called a wavelet projection fuzzy inference system (WPFIS) in which a dimension reduction section is used at the input stage of the fuzzy system. In order to clarify the structure of the extracted features, structural learning with forgetting (SLF) based on Minkowski norms is proposed. In addition, gradient descent (GD) was used as a training algorithm. The results show that the proposed method has higher performance in comparison with conventional models. The data collected from Saveh White Cement Company were used in our simulations.     

Robust fault diagnosis scheme in a class of nonlinear system based on UIO and fuzzy residual

In this study, a novel robust fault diagnosis scheme is developed for a class of nonlinear systems when both fault and disturbance are considered. The proposed scheme includes both component and sensor fault with nonlinear system that transferred to nonlinear Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model. It considers a larger category of nonlinear system when fuzzification is used for only nonlinear distribution matrices. In fact the proposed method covers nonlinear systems could not transform to linear T-S model. This paper studies the problem of robust fault diagnosis based on two fuzzy nonlinear observers, the first one is a fuzzy nonlinear unknown input observer (FNUIO) and the other is a fuzzy nonlinear Luenberger observer (FNLO). This approach decouples the faulty subsystem from the rest of the system through a series of transformations. Then, the objective is to design FNUIO to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the error dynamic using the Lyapunov method; meanwhile, FNLO is designed for faulty subsystem to generate fuzzy residual signal based on a quadratic Lyapunov function and some matrices inequality convexification techniques. FNUIO affects only the fault free subsystem and completely removes any unknown inputs such as disturbances when residual signal is generated by FNLO is affected by component or sensor fault. This novelty and using nonlinear system in T-S model make the proposed method extremely effective from last decade literature. Sufficient conditions are established in order to guarantee the convergence of the state estimation error. Thus, a residual generator is determined on the basis of LMI conditions such that the estimation error is completely sensitive to fault vector and insensitive to the unknown inputs. Finally, an numerical example is given to show the highly effectiveness of the proposed fault diagnosis scheme.     

Specificity enhancement in classification of breast MRI lesion based on multi-classifier

In the conventional CMAC-based adaptive controller design, a switching compensator is designed to guarantee system stability in the Lyapunov stability sense but the undesirable chattering phenomenon occurs. This paper proposes a CMAC-based smooth adaptive neural control (CSANC) system that is composed of a neural controller and a saturation compensator. The neural controller uses a CMAC neural network to online mimic an ideal controller and the saturation compensator is designed to dispel the approximation error between the ideal controller and neural controller without any chattering phenomena. The parameter adaptive algorithms of the CSANC system are derived in the sense of Lyapunov stability, so the system stability can be guaranteed. Finally, the proposed CSANC system is applied to a Chua’s chaotic circuit and a DC motor driver. Simulation and experimental results show the CSANC system can achieve a favorable tracking performance. It should be emphasized that the development of the proposed CSANC system doesn’t need the knowledge of the system dynamics.     

Fault tolerant synchronization of chaotic heavy symmetric gyroscope systems versus external disturbances via Lyapunov rule-based fuzzy control

In this paper, fault tolerant synchronization of chaotic gyroscope systems versus external disturbances via Lyapunov rule-based fuzzy control is investigated. Taking the general nature of faults in the slave system into account, a new synchronization scheme, namely, fault tolerant synchronization, is proposed, by which the synchronization can be achieved no matter whether the faults and disturbances occur or not. By making use of a slave observer and a Lyapunov rule-based fuzzy control, fault tolerant synchronization can be achieved. Two techniques are considered as control methods: classic Lyapunov-based control and Lyapunov rule-based fuzzy control. On the basis of Lyapunov stability theory and fuzzy rules, the nonlinear controller and some generic sufficient conditions for global asymptotic synchronization are obtained. The fuzzy rules are directly constructed subject to a common Lyapunov function such that the error dynamics of two identical chaotic motions of symmetric gyros satisfy stability in the Lyapunov sense. Two proposed methods are compared. The Lyapunov rule-based fuzzy control can compensate for the actuator faults and disturbances occurring in the slave system. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the proposed method for fault tolerant synchronization.     

Identification using ANFIS with intelligent hybrid stable learning algorithm approaches and stability analysis of training methods

This paper proposes a novel hybrid learning algorithm with stable learning laws for Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) as a system identifier and studies the stability of this algorithm. The new hybrid learning algorithm is based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) for training the antecedent part and forgetting factor recursive least square (FFRLS) for training the conclusion part. Two famous training algorithms for ANFIS are the gradient descent (GD) to update antecedent part parameters and using GD or recursive least square (RLS) to update conclusion part parameters. Lyapunov stability theory is used to study the stability of the proposed algorithms. This paper, also studies the stability of PSO as an optimizer in training the identifier. Stable learning algorithms for the antecedent and consequent parts of fuzzy rules are proposed. Some constraints are obtained and simulation results are given to validate the results. It is shown that instability will not occur for the leaning rate and PSO factors in the presence of constraints. The learning rate can be calculated on-line and will provide an adaptive learning rate for the ANFIS structure. This new learning scheme employs adaptive learning rate that is determined by input–output data. Also, stable learning algorithms for two common methods are proposed based on Lyapunov stability theory and some constraints are obtained.     

Stability analysis in identification of interval type‐2 adaptive neuro‐fuzzy inference system: Contribution to a novel Lyapunov function

In recent years, control research has strongly highlighted the issue of training stability in the identification of non‐linear systems. This paper investigates the stability analysis of an interval type‐2 adaptive neuro‐fuzzy inference system (IT2ANFIS) as an identifier through a novel Lyapunov function. In so doing, stability analysis is initially conducted on the IT2ANFIS identifier, while performing the online training of both the antecedent and the consequent parameters by the gradient descent (GD) algorithm. In addition, the same stability analysis is carried out when the antecedent and the consequent parameters are trained by GD and forgetting factor recursive least square (FRLS) algorithms, respectively (GD + FRLS). A novel Lyapunov function is proposed in this study in order for the identifier stability to attain the required conditions. These conditions determine the permissible boundaries for the covariance matrix and the learning rates at every iteration of the identification procedure. Stability analysis reveals that wide range of learning rates is obtained. Furthermore, simulation results indicate that when the permissible boundaries are selected according to the proposed stability analysis, a stable identification process with appropriate performance is achieved.
