Analysis and design of complex control system-heterogeneous model methods

The paper presents a new type of analysis and design method for complex control systems. First, a new kind of system model called a heterogeneous model is proposed. From the viewpoint of knowledge representation this model unifies fuzzy system and nonlinear system models, so we can use a common theory and method to analysis both systems. An identification method is given to identify this heterogeneous model. Then, the global heterogeneous model is used to design the controller. Because the global model can be considered a system over a time-function ring, the linear time-varying system theory can be used to design a controller
