Stratification in the Type-Reduced Set and the Generalised Karnik-Mendel Iterative Procedure
نویسنده
چکیده
Type-2 defuzzification is a two-stage process. Type-reduction, the first stage, gives rise to a type-1 fuzzy set known as the type-reduced set (TRS), which for the second stage is defuzzified to give a crisp number. This paper focusses on the TRS itself, which reveals a fascinating internal structure. We provide a description of and explanation for this structure, then go on to suggest how it may be exploited to enable the application of the Karnik-Mendel Iterative Procedure to generalised type-2 fuzzy sets.

Combining the -Plane Representation with an Interval Defuzzification Method
This paper is concerned with the defuzzification of the discretised generalised type-2 fuzzy set. In 2008 Liu proposed the α-Plane Representation — a decomposition of the generalised type-2 set into horizontal slices termed ‘α-planes’. An α-plane is akin to an interval type-2 fuzzy set. The α-Plane Representation must be used in conjunction with an interval defuzzification method: The three mai...
متن کاملIntroduction to Uncertainty bounds and Their Use in the Design of Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems
In this paper, we derive innerand outer-bound sets for the type-reduced set of an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (FLS), based on a new mathematical interpretation of the Karnik–Mendel iterative procedure for computing the type-reduced set. The bound sets can not only provide estimates about the uncertainty contained in the output of an interval type-2 FLS, but can also be used to design an ...
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 کاملAggregation Using the Fuzzy Weighted Average as Computed by the Karnik-Mendel Algorithms
By connecting work from two different problems— the fuzzy weighted average (FWA) and the generalized centroid of an interval type-2 fuzzy set—a new -cut algorithm for solving the FWA problem has been obtained, one that is monotonically and superexponentially convergent. This new algorithm uses the Karnik–Mendel (KM) algorithms to compute the FWA -cut endpoints. It appears that the KM -cut algor...
