Q1. What are the contributions in this paper?
The authors prove theoretically that a nonlinear fuzzy controller is a nonfuzzy proportional-integral-derivative ( PID ) controller with proportional gain, integral constant, and derivative constant changing with error, rate change of error, and rate change of error rate about a setpoint of a process. The nonlinear fuzzy controller consists of the following parts: 1. The linear defuzzificat ion algorithm 2.
