A genetic algorithm (GA)-based scheme for learning fuzzy rules for controllers, called an optimized fuzzy logic controller (OFLC) was proposed by Chan, Xie and Rad (2000). In this article we first analyze their OFLC and discuss some of its limitations. We also propose some modifications on an OFLC t

β¦ Synopsis
A genetic-algorithm-based method for exclusion of the potential redundant if-then fuzzy rules that have been extracted from numerical input-output data is proposed. The main idea is the input-space separation into activation rectangles, corresponding to certain output intervals. The generation of fuzzy rules and the membership functions are based on these activation rectangles and appropriate fuzzy rules inference mechanism is proposed. As the method usually produces too many rules, it is necessary to exclude the potential redundant if-then rules. The concept for varying the family of sensitivity parameters, defining the overlapping of the fuzzy regions is proposed. The genetic algorithms are used to resolve the following combinatorial optimization problem: the generation of families of sensitivity parameters. In this way the potential redundant if-then fuzzy rules are excluded.
The method formalizes the synthesis of the fuzzy system and could be used for function approximation, classification and control purposes. An illustrative example for implementation of the method for traffic fuzzy control is given, i~" 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models may contain redundant rules. The use of genetic algorithms for optimizing a performance index, which combines a modelling error and the number of rules in the model, allows the elimination of redundant rules and a subsequent adjustment of the weights of the rules retained
The performance of a fuzzy logic controller depends on its control rules and membership functions. Hence, it is very important to adjust these parameters to the process to be controlled. A method is presented for tuning fuzzy control rules by genetic algorithms to make the fuzzy logic control system
This paper demonstrates that the genetic algorithms can be used effectively for generating fuzzy rules in fuzzy-PID hybrid control structures. While a number of fuzzy-PID hybrid controllers are considered in the context of tuning of the PID controllers, a general view is provided that they are the s
