Stability Issues in Fuzzy Control (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing)

A collection of contributions to the stability analysis of fuzzy control systems is presented in this book. The contributions are based on a large subset of the stability analysis techniques commonly used in nonlinear control such as the small gain theorem and its related techniques, qualitative methods and the Lyapunov stability theory, among others. Each method has its own domain of application and a different level of practical interest. Robust stability is also considered in some chapters.
