Gain scheduling problem of a multi-model fuzzy system that satisfies the Lyapunov stability criteria is solved. The generalized eigenvalue problem (GEVP) can be directly introduced to EC in searching positive definite (PD) or positive semi-definite (PSD) matrices, by making a penalty for an individual that violates the inequality condition in order to solve the nonlinear constraints or linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Four examples for illustrating the proposed methodology are included and the results show the effectiveness.

The many theoretical and practical models of artificial intelligence (AI) are gleaned from nature, either by observing human intelligent behavior or by deriving algorithms from natural systems. In AI, fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory provide a rich and meaningful addition to standard logic, defining a useful rule base, especially for the purpose of engineering control. The basic idea of “fuzzy logic control” (FLC) was suggested by Zadeh [1]. The first implementation of an FLC was reported by Mamdani and Assilian [2, 3].

Procedure for Analysis The studied site was located in the Central Taiwan and the total experiment area of this site was 1.3 ha. Soils were contaminated with combined metals and the total concentration in the topsoil (0-15 cm) was 46-463 (Cr), 23-152 (Cu), 103-523 (Ni), and 202-958 (Zn) mg kg-1, respectively. We selected 12 plant species from 33 plant species based on the result of small areaexperiment before the beginning of this large area study. The selected 12 species are Rainbow pink (Dianthus chinensis), Serissa (Serissa japonica), French marigold (Tagetes patula), Chinese ixora (Ixora chinensis Lam), Sunflower (Helianthus annuus), Croton (Codialum variegatum), Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana), Garden canna (Canna generalis spp.), Garden verbena (Verbena hybrida), Purslane (Portulaca oloraua Linn), Scandent Scheffera umbrella tree (Schefflera arboricola Hayata), and Bojers spurge (Euphorbia splendens), respectively eq. (01). y mx c (01) Total area of 1.3ha was divided into 12 blocks and one plant species is planted in one block (0.1ha). At the 1st stage of large area-experiment, total amounts of 12,000 seedlings were… 3. RESULTS The result indicated that the soil texture of the contaminated site was silty clay. The CEC and pH value of the topsoil was 13.2 cmol(+) kg-1 and in the levels of 5.6-7.2, respectively. After planting in this combined metals-contaminated site for 33 d, these 12 plant species have no any toxic symptoms of metals. Figure 1 shows the initial and final concentration of Cr, Cu, Ni, and International Research Symposium on Engineering Advancements 2016 (RSEA 2016) SAITM, Malabe, Sri Lanka Zn in the shoots of 12 plant species. Except for Cu concentration of Chinese ixora and Purslane in shoot, the other 10 plant species have low metal concentration before planting (initial in Fig. 1). The initial metal concentration in their shoots was <20 (Cr), <10 (Cu), <5 (Ni), and <50 (Zn) mg kg-1, respectively. Based on the experimental results and conditions of this study (10,000 plants/ha/species), we can probably calculate the total phytoextraction capacity of different metals. Figure 1 shows experience of an individual's state of mind as interacting with biochemical (internal) and environmental (external) influences. Moreover, Table 1 shows the values of the experiment 1. addition to those, one of the advantages of this algorithm is that the LMIs of the fuzzy modelbased controller scheme can be directly solved without using any particular software tool for solving LMIs. On the other hand, any of EC algorithms produces a sub-optimal solution and we may not even know whether it has a solution or not. 5. REFERENCES [1] L. A.

State Active Neutral Value 12.3 [J/m2] - CONCLUSION An EC based algorithm has a number of advantages. It can quickly scan a vast solution set. Moreover, this EC approach is appropriate for handling any number of constraints of the control system, in addition to the stability criteria guaranteed by the Lyapunov non-linear constraints or LMIs. For an example, if the designer wants to keep the gains at high (or law) it can be easily achieved by setting upper and lower limits of the genes of EC program.
