Optimal control for stochastic singular integro-differential Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy system with quadratic performance is obtained using ant colony programming (ACP). To obtain the optimal control, the solution of MRDE is computed by solving differential algebraic equation (DAE) using a novel and nontraditional ACP approach. The obtained solution in this method is equivalent or very close to the exact solution of the problem. An illustrative numerical example is presented for the proposed method.
