New results about the centroid of an interval type-2 fuzzy set, including the centroid of a fuzzy granule

چکیده
The centroid of an interval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2 FS) provides a measure of the uncertainty of such a FS. Its calculation is very widely used in interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems. In this paper, we present properties about the centroid of an IT2 FS. We also illustrate many of the general results for a T2 fuzzy granule (FG) in order to develop some understanding about the uncertainty of the FG in terms of its vertical and horizontal dimensions. At present, the T2 FG is the only IT2 FS for which it is possible to obtain closed-form formulas for the centroid, and those formulas are in this paper. 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Multiple attribute group decision making with linguistic variables and complete unknown weight information
Interval type-2 fuzzy sets, each of which is characterized by the footprint of uncertainty, are a very useful means to depict the linguistic information in the process of decision making. In this article, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the linguistic information provided by the decision makers is expressed as interval type-2 fuzzy decision matrices where each of ...
متن کاملFuzzy Centroid-Based Method Applied to Customer Requirements Ranking in Diba Fiberglass Company
The purpose of this study is to introduce an application of fuzzy centroid-based approach to ranking the customer requirements using QFD with competition considerations for Diba Fiberglass, an Iranian Company. The illustrated approach, not only focuses on the normal fuzzy numbers, but also considers the non-normal fuzzy numbers to capture the true customer requirements. To this end, first, we p...
متن کاملOn Computing the Centroid of a Symmetrical Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Set
Computing the centroid of a type-2 fuzzy set (T2 FS) is an important operation for such sets. For an interval T2 FS, the centroid can be computed by using two iterative procedures that were developed by Karnik and Mendel [2]. In this paper, we prove that if the footprint of uncertainty for an interval T2 FS is symmetrical about the primary variable y at y = m , then the centroid is also symmetr...

متن کاملDEFUZZIFICATION METHOD FOR RANKING FUZZY NUMBERS BASED ON CENTER OF GRAVITY
Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. Many different methods have been proposed to deal with ranking fuzzy numbers. Constructing ranking indexes based on the centroid of fuzzy numbers is an important case. But some weaknesses are found in these indexes. The purpose of this paper is to give a new ranking index to rank vario...
