ON THE SOLUTION OF DIFFERENTIAL-EQUATIONS WITH FUZZY SPLINE-WAVELETS

Fuzzy systems built with spline wavelets can approximate any function in a general Hilbert space. Since wavelets are used extensively for th e efficient solution of various types of differential equations, it is demonstrated that fuzzy spline wavelets can be used for the solution of the same type of problems. The advantage in using fuzzy spline wave lets for the solution of such problems is that the solution would enjo y the excellent numerical and computational characteristics of the fas t wavelet transform, while retaining the explanatory power of fuzzy sy stem. The method is demonstrated with the feedforward control of a fle xible robotic arm. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rig hts reserved.
