Optimal Control

Optimal control is a mathematical approach used to guide a system's behavior in the best possible way over time. In the context of fuzzy logic, which deals with uncertainty and imprecision, optimal control helps make decisions based on vague or incomplete information. For example, it can determine the best way to adjust temperature in a smart thermostat, considering factors like comfort and energy efficiency. By combining fuzzy logic with optimal control, we can create systems that adapt intelligently to varying conditions, ensuring desired outcomes while minimizing costs or risks.
