A fuzzy neural network based on fuzzy hierarchy error approach

This paper presents a novel fuzzy neural network which consists of an antecedent network and a consequent network. The antecedent network matches the premises of the fuzzy rules and the consequent network implements the consequences of the rules. In the network learning and training phase, a concise and effective algorithm based on the fuzzy hierarchy error approach is proposed to update the parameters of the network. This algorithm is simple to implement and it does not require as many calculations as some other classic neural network learning algorithms. A model reference adaptive control structure incorporating the proposed fuzzy neural network is studied. Simulation results of a cart-pole balancing system demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method
