Bifurcation control deals with modification of bifurcation characteristics of a parameterized
nonlinear system by a designed control input. Typical bifurcation control objectives include …

This paper presents a unified approach to controlling chaos via a fuzzy control system
design based on linear matrix inequalities (LMI's). First, Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models and …

A model for human postural balance is considered in which the time-delayed feedback
depends on position, velocity and acceleration (proportional–derivative–acceleration (PDA) …

In this article, we provide an overview of a selection of topics of current interest in nonlinear
dynamics and vibrations of mechanical systems. Specifically, we cover the traditional topics …

The effects of sensory input uncertainty, ε ε, on the stability of time-delayed human motor
control are investigated by calculating the minimum stick length, ℓ _ crit ℓ crit, that can be …

Points out how the nonlinearities involved in multivariable Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy control
systems could originate complex behavior phenomena, such as multiple equilibrium points …

In many technological processes a fundamental stage involves the mixing of two or more
fluids. As a result, the design of optimal mixing protocols is a problem of both fundamental …

The question of how the inverted position of a pendulum can be stabilized is of fundamental
importance for understanding human balancing tasks. Applications range from postural …

Intelligent Mobile Robot Navigation builds upon the application of fuzzy logic to the area of
intelligent control of mobile robots. Reactive, planned, and teleoperated techniques are …

Bifurcation control generally means to design a controller that is capable of modifying the
bifurcation characteristics of a bifurcating nonlinear system, thereby achieving some …
