Download or read book Multiple Modeling and Control of Nonlinear Systems with Self-organizing Maps written by Jeongho Cho and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the identified multiple models, the problem of designing controllers is discussed. Each local linear model is associated with a linear controller, which is easy to design. Switching of the controllers is done synchronously with the active local linear model that tracks different operating conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown through experiments for modeling complex nonlinear plants such as chaotic systems, nonlinear discrete time systems and flight vehicles. Its comparison with neural networks-based alternatives, Time Delay Neural Network (TDNN), shows clear advantages of local modeling and control in terms of performance.
