The con- trol systems governed by the differential equations (the classical control problems) have attracted much attention since 1950’s. It is known that in [2], [4], [70]-[74] and [83], the optimal control problems were researched by Pontryagin and his colleagues in 1956 and Bellman in 1957, the controllability of linear control systems was studied by Kalman in 1960 and the stability was investigated in 1960’s by many authors. The control and optimal control problems have been applied effectively in many fields: economy, tech- nology, environment . of the real world. We use mathematical models to describe the real world phenomena. However, an exact description of any real world phenomena is virtually impossible and we need to accept this fact and adjust to it. To specify imprecise or vague notions, Zadeh introduced the concept of fuzzy set theory in 1965 [113]. Many results on fuzzy logic, fuzzy control, fuzzy decision making have been applied in effectively in many fields: economy, technology . Some models of fuzzy controls such as Mamdani models, Takagi-Sugeno models, have been applied and ones use fuzzy logic to deal with these models. And, many fields of fuzzy mathematics such as fuzzy topology, fuzzy norm spaces, fuzzy differential systems, fuzzy program- ming . have been studied. Some fields as fuzzy differential systems, fuzzy stochastic differential systems (which use Ito derivative, Ito integral), fuzzy stochastic differential systems in the sense of Feng [22], set differential systems, have been developed. In last decades, ones have generalized set, fuzzy, stochastic differential systems from the ordinary differential equations. Some known differential systems related to fuzziness and randomness, are following. 1. The set differential systems (SDS) are of the form D H X = F(t, X), X(t 0 ) = X 0 ∈ K c (R n ), (0.1) where F : R + × K c (R n ) → K c (R n ), t ∈ [t 0 , T], X ∈ K c (R n ), where K c (R n ) is thecollection of all nonempty, compact, convex subsets of R n . Brandao Lopes Pinto, De Blasi, and Iervolino first formulated the SDS. They gave some preliminary resuls of existence, unique and extremal solutions of SDS [51]. Re- cently, the study of SDS in a semilinear metric space has gained much attention. Laksh- mikantham, Leela and Vatsala studied the comparison of solutions and local existence of solutions of SDS [55]. The existence of Euler solutions and flow invariance were given by Gnana Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham [30]. Gnana Bhaskar, Lakshmikantham and Vasundhara Devi studied nonlinear variation of parameters formula for SDS in a metric space [32] . The stability criteria as in the original Lyapunov results for ordi- nary differential equations and the boundedness were obtained by Gnana Bhaskar and Vasundhara Devi [33, 34]. Set differential systems were first introduced by Brandao Lopes Pinto, De Blasi, and Iervolino in 1970, but the main results have been obtained since 2003 [30], [32]-[34], [51] and [55]. 2. The fuzzy differential systems (FDS) are of the form D H x = f(t, x(t)), x(t 0 ) = x 0 ∈ E n , (0.2) where f : I = [t 0 , T] × E n → E n , and t ∈ I, x(t) ∈ E n , where E n is set of all fuzzy sets on R n . The FDS, firstly, were introduced in 1978 in a conference in Japan. Since the work of Kaleva [39], FDS have attracted much attention. The existence result on solutions introduced by Kaleva [39, 40] and Nieto [63]. The local existence paralleled to Peano’s theorem was presented in [40, 41]. The global existence was given by Lakshmikantham and Mohapatra in [58]. The FDS with the fuzzy initials was studied by Seikkala [91]. The comparison results on solutions were presented by Lakshmikantham and Mohapatra in [58]. Friedman, Ma and Kandel studied numerical solutions of FDS [27]. Hight order FDS were studied by Buckly, Feuring, Nieto . [7], [8], [29] and [115]. The relation between set and fuzzy differential systems was investigated byLakshmikantham, Gnana Bhaska .in [31], [50], [55], [56] and [59]. Many authors have studied and got important results in FDS [1], [5], [38], [52], [54], [64]-[69], [92]-[94], [102]-[104] and [114]. 3. The fuzzy stochastic differential systems (FSDS) are of the form X 0 (t) = F (t, X(t)), t ∈ I = [t 0 , T] ⊂ R + , (0.3) with the initial value X(t 0 ) = X 0 ∈ L m 2 , where L m 2 is metric space of all m-dimensional fuzzy random vectors. Feng, first introduced a kind of fuzzy stochastic differential systems (FSDS) in 2000 [22] and gave simple existence and comparison results on the solutions. In the case m = 1, (0.3) is a fuzzy stochastic differential equation. In [22], Feng obtained an ex- istence result on solutions, a simple comparison result on solutions of FSDS and some properties of the linear fuzzy stochastic differential systems were given in [22], [24]. In [98], we provided some more comparison results on solutions and on sheaf-solutions of FSDS. The stability of solutions and sheaf-solutions of FSDS was presented in [98]. Besides, recently, some concepts of differential systems related to fizziness and ran- domness such as stochastic differential systems of Ito type [14], in sense of Fei [18], fuzzy stochastic differential systems in Ito type [44], have been developed. The real world phenomena are copious. In practice, we are often faced with random experiments whose outcomes are not exact but are expressed in inexact linguistic vari- ables of the time parameter. The fuzzy random variables and fuzzy stochastic processes are the combination of randomness and fuzziness. Recently, research on the combina- tion of randomness and fuzziness has attracted much attention of common scientists in both theory and application. Fuzzy random variables have been investigated by many authors, for example, Hop [35], [36], Kwakernaak [47], [48], Puri and Ralescu [84], [85]. Many models of this combination have been applied effectively in the real life.In [35], Hop presented a model to measure the superiority and inferiority of fuzzy and fuzzy stochastic variables. Then these new measures were used to convert the fuzzy (stochastic) linear programming into the corresponding deterministic linear program. In [36], a model to measure attainment values of fuzzy stochastic variables and then these measures were used to convert the fuzzy (stochastic) linear programming into the corresponding deterministic linear program as the case in [35]. In [61], Luhandjula surveyed the fuzzy stochastic linear programming and its future research directions. In [10], the optimal tracking design for stochastic fuzzy systems was studied. The stop- ping problems have been studied by Yoshida and others authors such as: a stopping game in a stochastic and fuzzy environment [107], a multiobjective fuzzy stopping in a stochastic and fuzzy environment [111], fuzzy stopping problems in continuous-time fuzzy stochastic systems [112], optimal stopping problems in a stochastic and fuzzy system [110], the optimal stopping models in a stochastic and fuzzy environment [109], the multicriteria optimal stopping of a stochastic and fuzzy system [108]. The aim of the thesis The study of fields related to fuzziness and randomness is of promise, especially in control theory. Motivated by the attraction of the fuzzy and random fields in theory and applications, we study on control differential systems related to fuzziness and randomness. In this thesis, based on the results on set, fuzzy, stochastic differential systems (0.1)-(0.3), we study control systems of fuzzy type, set, fuzzy and stochastic differential systems (0.4)-(0.7). The linear fuzzy control differential systems have been investigated by some authors and in this thesis we provide the general form of fuzzy control differential systems. We introduce some new trends in control theory such as: set control differential systems, fuzzy control stochastic differential systems. The aim of the thesis is to research on the existence, comparison and stability of solutions and sheaf-solutions of these control differential systems. We go into the details.a. Control differential systems of fuzzy type are of the form ¦ x(t) = f(t, x(t), u(t)), (0.4) where x(0) = x 0 ∈ R n , x(t) ∈ R n , u(t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, 1] × . × [0, 1] ⊂ R p and we consider u ∈ E 1 × . × E 1 = (E 1 ) p (p times) , t ∈ [0, T] = I ⊂ R + and f : I × R n × R p → R n . These are hybrid systems whose state x(t) and function f are crisp, but control u is fuzzy. We study on comparison and estimation results of solutions and sheaf-solutions of these control systems. b. Set control differential systems are of the form D H X = F(t, X(t), U(t)), X(t 0 ) = X 0 , (0.5) where F : I × K c (R n ) × K c (R p ) → K c (R n ), t ∈ I ⊂ R + , state X(t) ∈ K c (R n ) and control U(t) ∈ K c (R p ). In these control differential systems, states X(t) and controls U(t) are sets and f are set valued mappings. Set control differential systems are the general forms of classical control systems and firstly introduced in our papers [75], [79]-[81]. We investigate the existence, comparison and stability of solutions and sheaf-solutions of these control differential systems. c. Fuzzy control differential systems are of the form D H x = f(t, x(t), u(t)), x(t 0 ) = x 0 ∈ E n , (0.6) where f : R + × E n × E p → E n , t ∈ R + , states x(t) ∈ E n and fuzzy controls u(t) ∈ E p . Here, states x(t) and controls u(t) are fuzzy sets and f are fuzzy mappings. Some results concerned linear fuzzy control differential systems (4.1) such as observability, quasi-controllability have been researched in [12], [13], [25]. We provide the general form fuzzy control differential systems (0.6) which are general form of linear fuzzy control differential systems [12], [13], [25] and study the existence, comparison and stability of solutions and sheaf-solutions of these control differential systems.d. Fuzzy control stochastic differential systems are of the form X 0 (t) = F (t, X(t), U(t)), t ∈ I = [t 0 , T] ⊂ R + , X(t 0 ) = X 0 ∈ L m 2 (0.7) where F is a mapping: F : I × L m 2 × L p 2 → L m 2 , states X(t) and controls U(t) are m-dimensional fuzzy random vectors. These are systems of combination of fuzziness and randomness and they were firstly introduced in our paper [97]. Up to now, fuzzy mathematics has been developed and it is not complete. Some concepts such as partial derivatives of fuzzy mappings are not defined. So, a nonlinear fuzzy differential system can not be approximated by a linear fuzzy differential system as in classical ones. Because of this difficulty, many parts of control differential systems related to fuzziness and randomness, are not fully investigated. In control theory, there are some parts such as: observability, controllability, stability and optimal control problems. However, set, fuzzy and fuzzy control stochastic differential systems have been recently investigated in our papers [75], [78]- [82] and [97], some parts in these new trends (of control theory) have not been fully studied. The study on control theory related to fuzziness and randomness is of promise and needs more time. We now give a description of the contents. The thesis consists of five chapters The Chapter 1 is devoted to some basic concepts and notations related to set, fuzzy and stochastic fields. We recall concepts and some properties of the space of all nonempty, compact, convex subsets of R n , set-valued mappings. Fuzzy sets, the spaces of all fuzzy sets, fuzzy-valued mappings, fuzzy random variables, fuzzy random valued mappings are shortly introduced. At last, we introduce some known results which will be used in the proofs of some theorems in this thesis. In Chapter 2, control differential systems whose variables, functions are not fuzzy, but controls are fuzzy, are called control systems of fuzzy type. Our main results in this chapter are comparisons and estimations of solutions and of sheaf-solutions in controlsystems of fuzzy type. In Chapter 3, we introduce new concept of set control differential systems and study their existence of solutions, the dependence of solutions and sheaf-solutions on initials, right hand sides and controls. Some estimations and the stability of solutions and sheaf-solutions are also studied. In Chapter 4, firstly, we recall some results on observability, quasi-controllability presented in [12], [13] and [25], then we provide the general form of fuzzy control differential systems. We study the existence of solutions and comparison results on solutions and on sheaf-solutions of these general control systems. The stability of solutions and sheaf-solutions of these general control systems and some simple optimal control problems related to fuzziness are studied. In Chapter 5, we introduce the new concept of fuzzy control stochastic differential systems. We investigate the existence and comparison results on solutions and on sheaf-solutions of these fuzzy control stochastic differential systems. Some estimations of solutions and sheaf-solutions of these fuzzy control stochastic differential systems are provided. Notice that, for the thesis is not too long, some details in the proofs of theorems in Chapters 4 and 5 of the same techniques with the ones in Chapter 3, are omitted. The main results obtained in the thesis are the existence, comparison and stability of solutions, sheaf-solutions of set, fuzzy, control differential systems and fuzzy control stochastic differential systems. These are the first and important results in researching control theory related to fuzziness. The restriction of the thesis is the optimal control problem related to fuzziness which has not been studied. It is still open problem and of promise. The results in this thesis come from the papers listed by [75], [76]-[82], [97] and [99].
