Abstract:
This article is presenting a first attempt on a proposed fuzzy fractal control method for efficiently controlling nonlinear dynamic systems. The main goal is to combine the main advantages of fractal theoretical concepts and fuzzy logic theory for achieving efficient control of nonlinear dynamic systems. The concept coming from Fractal theory, known as the fractal dimension, can be utilized to measure the complexity of the dynamic behavior of a non-linear plant. On the other hand, fuzzy logic theory can be used to represent and capture the expert knowledge in controlling a plant. In addition, fuzzy logic enables to manage the uncertainty involved in the decision-making process for achieving efficient control of a non-linear plant. We illustrate the proposed fuzzy fractal control method with the current worldwide situation that requires achieving an efficient control of the COVID-19 pandemics.
