An introduction to fuzzy logic for practical applications

In the early 1970s, fuzzy systems and fuzzy control theories added a new dimension to control systems engineering. From its beginnings as mostly heuristic and somewhat ad hoc, more recent and rigorous approaches to fuzzy control theory have helped make it an integral part of modern control theory an... Reflecting the tremendous advances that have taken place in the study of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic, this book not only details the theoretical advances in these areas, but also considers a broad variety of applications of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic. This comprehensive and up-to-date text is o... Designed primarily as a text for senior undergraduate students of Computer Science and Engineering, and postgraduate students of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, this compact book describes the theoretical aspects of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic. Based on his many years of experience, Profes... The first edition of Fuzzy Logic with Engineering Applications (1995) was the first classroom text for undergraduates in the field. Now updated for the second time, this new edition features the latest advances in the field including material on expansion of the MLFE method using genetic algorithms,... Professor Merrie Bergmann presents an accessible introduction to the subject of many-valued and fuzzy logic designed for use on undergraduate and graduate courses in non-classical logic. Bergmann discusses the philosophical issues that give rise to fuzzy logic-problems arising from vague language ... Fuzzy logic has been a conceptual process applied in the field of risk management. This book is intended for professional engineers and students and those with an interest in exploring the potential of fuzzy logic as an information processing kit with a variety of practical applications in the field...
