Neural Fuzzy Systems: A Neuro-Fuzzy Synergism to Intelligent Systems-Chin-Teng Lin and C. S. George Lee. (Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 1996, 813 pp., hardbound, $80.00, I S B N 0-13-235169-2).
This textbook provides engineers, scientists, and students involved in fuzzy systems, neural networks, and fuzzy neural integrated systems with a current and comprehensive account of the basic principles underlying the analysis and synthesis of fuzzy neural integrated systems. The book is the outgrowth of lecture notes for courses taught by the authors at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, and the National Chiao-Tung University in Taiwan. The mathematical level is suited for first-year graduate students in engineering or computer science. The book provides numerous worked out examples and end of chapter problems. A solutions manual is available from the publisher. The material in this textbook is organized in three major paas and two appendixes. Part I consists of eight chapters which covers fundamental concepts and operations of fuzzy sets, fuzzy relations, fuzzy measures, possibility theory, fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning, and their application to control, pattern recognition, and expert systems. Part I1 (eight chapters) covers artificial neural networks including multilayer perceptron nets and recurrent networks. Supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning methods for training neural networks are also covered. This part also explores genetic algorithms for neural-net training and structure optimization. Part I11 (five chapters) covers three major neural fuzzy integrated systems and their rationale for integration. Here, neural fuzzy control systems, fuzzy neural networks for pattern recognition, and fuzzy neural hybrid systems are discussed and explored. Finally, Appendixes A and B illustrate the computer simulations of fuzzy logic systems and neural networks using the MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox and the Neural Network Toolbox (included on a 3.5 PC compatible diskette). The book concludes with a bibliography of over I100 references and a subject index. The chapter titles are as follows: Introduction; Basics of Fuzzy Sets; Fuzzy Relations; Fuzzy Measures; Possibility Theory and Fuzzy Arithmetic; Fuzzy Logic and Approximate Reasoning; Fuzzy

Artificial Neural Networks for Modelling and Control of Nonlinear Systems-Johan A. K . Suykens, JOOs . L. Vandewallee$ and Bart L. R. Moor. (Boston, MA: Kluwer, 1996, 247 PP.3 hardbound, $98.00, ISBN 0-7923-9678-2).
This book deals with the use of artificial neural networks for modeling and control purposes. It aims at presenting both classical and new methods of nonlinear system identification and neural control with emphasis on the fundamental concepts. The book is based on the first authors Ph.D. dissertation. The major contribution of this work is the so-called NLq theory which serves as a unifying framework for stability analysis and synthesis of nonlinear systems that contain linear and static nonlinear operators that satisfy a sector condition. NLq systems are described by nonlinear state space equations with q layers and hence encompass most of the currently used feedforward and recurrent networks. Using neural state-space models, the theory enables the design of controllers based upon identified models from measured input/output data. The book consists of six chapters and three appendixes: Introduction; Artificial Neural Networks: Architecture and Learning Rules; Nonlinear System Identification Using Neural Networks; Neural Networks for Control; NLq Theory; General Conclusions and Future Work; Appendix A: Generation of n-double Scrolls; Appendix B: Fokker-Planck Learning Machine for Global Optimization; and Appendix C: Proof of NLq Theorems.
