Abstract

In this paper, a general method is developed to generate a stable adaptive fuzzy semi-decentralized control for a class of large-scale interconnected nonlinear systems with unknown nonlinear subsystems and unknown nonlinear interconnections. In the developed control algorithms, fuzzy logic systems, using fuzzy basis functions (FBF), are employed to approximate the unknown subsystems and interconnection functions without imposing any constraints or assumptions about the interconnections. The proposed controller consists of primary and auxiliary parts, where both direct and indirect adaptive approaches for the primary control part are aiming to maintain the closed-loop stability, whereas the auxiliary control part is designed to attenuate the fuzzy approximation errors. By using Lyapunov stability method, the proposed semi-decentralized adaptive fuzzy control system is proved to be globally stable, with converging tracking errors to a desired performance. Simulation examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
