Abstract

In this paper, we present a new approach to a time-optimal control problem with uncertainties. The dynamics of the controlled object, expressed by a linear system of differential equations, is assumed to be crisp, while the initial and final phase states are fuzzy sets. We interpret the problem as a set of crisp problems. We introduce a new notion of fuzzy optimal time and transform its calculation to two classical time-optimal control problems with initial and final sets. We examine the proposed approach on an example which is a problem of fuzzy control of mathematical pendulum.
