this book proposes analysis and design techniques for fuzzy systems using adaptive technology, event triggering mechanism, sampling control technology, and sliding mode control technology. the book covers stochastic stability, finite-time boundedness, actuator failure problems, fault-tolerant control, asynchronous control, and adaptive sliding mode control for uncertain fuzzy systems. the topic of fault-tolerant control will be of particular interest to readers because: (i) the internal hardware components of the system may age and fail to a greater or lesser extent; (ii) the external environment may suddenly change. with illustrations and tables, readers can easily follow the didactic approach and apply the methods to their own research. this book will be of particular interest to researchers and graduate students in control engineering and applied mathematics who are interested in the latest developments in fuzzy systems.
