This paper deals with the impact study of the choice of conjunctive operator between input variables of TSK fuzzy models, t-norm, on stability domain estimation. The approach is based on stability conditions issued from vector norms corresponding to a vector-Lyapunov function. In particular, for...

Fuzzy logic theory, introduced by Zadeh (1965), has been used in different approaches in control theory. Fuzzy inference using a data base of an expert knowledge is the most widely used. A second approach, first presented by Sugeno, consists in the use of several models representing a partial...

Most scheduling problems are complex combinatorial problems and very difficult to solve [Manage. Sci. 35 (1989) 164; F.S. Hillier, G.J. Lieberman, Introduction to Operations Research, Holden-Day, San Francisco, CA, 1967]. That is why, lots of methods focus on the optimization according to a single...

Most complex scheduling problems are combinatorial problems and difficult to solve. That is why, several methods focus on the optimization according to a single criterion such as makespan, workloads of machines, waiting times, etc. In this paper, the Choquet integral is introduced as a general...

Several basic ideas for the control of non-linear continuous systems are discussed in this paper. The use of the principle of analytic control leads to construct practical suboptimal control laws. In a second time, with the help of the bilinearization of non-linear systems on one hand and...
