Fuzzy control as a universal control tool (Q1357148)

The paper contributes to the discussion of the universal role of a fuzzy control. Fuzzy control may be a universal control tool in the following sense: even though we do not know what an optimal control is, we can in principle, by an appropriate choice of the rules, get a fuzzy control that is as close as possible to the optimal control. The paper presents two generalizations of earlier results on the subject. The generalizations include: 1) Fuzzy control is a universal control tool for distributed systems, i.e. for systems that require infinitely many parameters to describe their current state, and 2) Fuzzy control systems can approximate arbitrary continuous functions and functionals.
