Fuzzy controllers bring treated as passive dynamic nonlinear controlle
rs, stability of fuzzy control loops is proven with the unique conditi
on that the controlled plant can be made passive by zero shifting. For
linear time-invariant plants, this approach leads to frequency respon
se conditions similar to the previous results in the literature, but w
hich are more general and can include robust stability considerations.
