Abstract
A fuzzy model predictive control (FMPC) approach is introduced to design a control system for a highly nonlinear process. In this approach, a process system is described by a fuzzy convolution model that consists of a number of quasi-linear fuzzy implications. In controller design, prediction errors and control energy are minimized through a two-layered iterative optimization process. At the lower layer, optimal local control policies are identified to minimize prediction errors in each subsystem. A near optimum is then identified through coordinating the subsystems to reach an overall minimum prediction error at the upper layer. The two-layered computing scheme avoids extensive online nonlinear optimization and permits the design of a controller based on linear control theory. The efficacy of the FMPC approach is demonstrated through three examples
