A numerical technique for control system synthesis based on input-output data is presented. The method is applicable when the system is open-loop stable and redundantly actuated. The major merits of the method are as follows. First, the closed-loop system equation may be arbitrarily assigned. Second, explicit knowledge of an open-loop system model is not needed for controller synthesis. Third, the stability of the synthesized system may be verified during the synthesis process; hence, the workability of the controller is ensured.

In this paper, a simple fuzzy logic based intelligent mechanism is developed for predicting and controlling a chaotic system to a desired target, using only input–output data obtained from the unknown (or uncertain) underlying chaotic system. In the chaos prediction phase, a fuzzy system approach incorporating with Gaussian type of fuzzy membership functions is used. Only system input–output data are needed for prediction, and a recursive least-squares computational algorithm is employed for the calculation. In the controller design phase, the Lyapunov stability criterion is used, which forms the basis of the main design principle. Some simulation results on the chaotic Sin map and Hénon map are given, for both prediction and control, to illustrate the effectiveness and control performance of the proposed method.

AbstractExtending the technique of unit structure analysis, which was originally developed by Ozaki (J Econ 73(5):720–748, 1980), this study introduces a method of value chain mapping that uses international input–output data and reveals both the upstream and downstream transactions of goods and services, as well as primary input (value added) and final output (final demand) transactions, which emerge along the entire value chain. This method is then applied to the agricultural value chain of three Greater Mekong Subregion countries: Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The results show that the agricultural value chain has been increasingly internationalized, although there is still room to benefit from participating in global value chains, especially in a country such as Cambodia. Although there are some constraints regarding the methodology and data, the method proves useful in tracing the entire value chain.
