This paper proposes a novel gap metric based fuzzy decomposition approach resulting in a reduced model bank that provides enough information to design controllers. It requires, first, the determination of the model base. For this, the number of initial models is obtained via fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm. Then, a gap metric based method which aims to get a reduced model bank is developed. Based on the linear models bank, a set of linear controllers are designed and combined into a global controller for setpoint tracking control.
