This book explains the basic concepts, theory and applications of neural networks in a simple unified approach with clear examples and simulations in the MATLAB programming language. The scripts herein are coded for general purposes to be easily extended to a variety of problems in different areas of application. They are vectorized and optimized to run faster and be applicable to high-dimensional engineering problems. This book will serve as a main reference for graduate and undergraduate courses in neural networks and applications. This book will also serve as a main basis for researchers dealing with complex problems that require neural networks for finding good solutions in areas, such as time series prediction, intelligent control and identification. In addition, the problem of designing neural network by using metaheuristics, such as the genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization, with one objective and with multiple objectives, is presented.

This book explains the basic concepts, theory and applications of fuzzy systems in control in a simple unified approach with clear ex-amples and simulations in the MATLAB programming language. Fuzzy systems, especially, type-2 neuro-fuzzy systems, are now used extensively in various engineering fields for different purposes. In plain language, this book aims to practically explain fuzzy sys-tems and different methods of training and optimizing these systems. For this purpose, type-2 neuro-fuzzy systems are first analyzed along with various methods of training and optimizing these systems through implementation in MATLAB. These systems are then em-ployed to design adaptive fuzzy controllers. The authors aim at pre-senting all the well-known optimization methods clearly and code them in the MATLAB language.

This book provides the fundamental approaches to designing and using type-3 fuzzy systems in real-world applications. Basic Matlab codes are provided to use type-3 fuzzy systems in a straightforward scheme. The main differences between type-3 fuzzy systems and other types are analyzed and compared. The effectiveness of type-3 fuzzy systems is analyzed and studied in various applications, such as robotics, intelligent control systems, and data science.
