Active fault tolerant control for nonlinear systems with simultaneous actuator and sensor faults
The goal of this paper is to describe a novel fault tolerant tracking control (FTTC) strategy based on robust fault estimation and compensation of simultaneous actuator and sensor faults. Within the framework of fault tolerant control (FTC) the challenge is to develop an FTTC design strategy for nonlinear systems to tolerate simultaneous actuator and sensor faults that have bounded first time derivatives. The main contribution of this paper is the proposal of a new architecture based on a combination of actuator and sensor Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) proportional state estimators augmented with proportional and integral feedback (PPI) fault estimators together with a T-S dynamic output feedback control (TSDOFC) capable of time-varying reference tracking. Within this architecture the design freedom for each of the T-S estimators and the control system are available separately with an important consequence on robust L₂ norm fault estimation and robust L₂ norm closed-loop tracking performance. The FTTC strategy is illustrated using a nonlinear inverted pendulum example with time-varying tracking of a moving linear position reference. Keyword

Learning fuzzy inference systems using an adaptive membership function scheme
An adaptive membership function scheme for general additive fuzzy systems is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme can adapt a proper membership function for any nonlinear input-output mapping, based upon a minimum number of rules and an initial approximate membership function. This parameter adjustment procedure is performed by computing the error between the actual and the desired decision surface. Using the proposed adaptive scheme for fuzzy system, the number of rules can be minimized. Nonlinear function approximation and truck backer-upper control system are employed to demonstrate the viability of the proposed method
A Survey on Soft Subspace Clustering
Subspace clustering (SC) is a promising clustering technology to identify
clusters based on their associations with subspaces in high dimensional spaces.
SC can be classified into hard subspace clustering (HSC) and soft subspace
clustering (SSC). While HSC algorithms have been extensively studied and well
accepted by the scientific community, SSC algorithms are relatively new but
gaining more attention in recent years due to better adaptability. In the
paper, a comprehensive survey on existing SSC algorithms and the recent
development are presented. The SSC algorithms are classified systematically
into three main categories, namely, conventional SSC (CSSC), independent SSC
(ISSC) and extended SSC (XSSC). The characteristics of these algorithms are
highlighted and the potential future development of SSC is also discussed.Comment: This paper has been published in Information Sciences Journal in 201
Fuzzy rule based multiwavelet ECG signal denoising
Since different multiwavelets, pre- and post-filters have different impulse responses and frequency responses, different multiwavelets, pre- and post-filters should be selected and applied at different noise levels for signal denoising if signals are corrupted by additive white Gaussian noises. In this paper, some fuzzy rules are formulated for integrating different multiwavelets, pre- and post-filters together so that expert knowledge on employing different multiwavelets, pre- and post-filters at different noise levels on denoising performances is exploited. When an ECG signal is received, the noise level is first estimated. Then, based on the estimated noise level and our proposed fuzzy rules, different multiwavelets, pre- and post-filters are integrated together. A hard thresholding is applied on the multiwavelet coefficients. According to extensive numerical computer simulations, our proposed fuzzy rule based multiwavelet denoising algorithm outperforms traditional multiwavelet denoising algorithms by 30%
