The book offers novel research results of sequential intelligent dynamic system modeling and control in a unified framework from theory proposals to real applications. It covers an in-depth study of various learning algorithms for the permanent adaptation of intelligent model parameters as well as of structural parts of the model. The comprehensive researches on sequential fuzzy and neural controller design schemes for some complex real applications are included. This is particularly suited for readers who are interested to learn practical solutions for controlling nonlinear systems that are uncertain and varied at any time. In addition, the organization of the book from addressing fundamental concepts, and presenting novel intelligent models to solving real applications is one of the major features of the book, which makes it a valuable resource for both beginners and researchers wanting to further their understanding and study about realtime online intelligent modeling and control ofnonlinear dynamic systems. The book can benefit researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of control engineering, artificial intelligence, computational intelligence, intelligent control, nonlinear system modeling, and control, etc.
