Heuristic structure synthesis in a class of systems using a fuzzy automaton

A heuristic synthesis method for a class of systems is proposed by using a fuzzy automaton. The transition of system structure is represented by fuzzy relations and the interconnection among subsystems, that is system structure is determined by a heuristic policy. A computational algorithm is given on the basis of a learning system so as to realize the proposed method. Further, in order to avoid to get an ill-posed solution, a necessary condition is given with respect to the fuzzy transition matrix and the initial condition of system. An example is illustrated to show how the proposed method works.
