On Computing the Centroid of a Symmetrical Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Set
نویسنده
چکیده
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 symmetrical about y = m and its defuzzified value equals m. As a consequence of this, computation of the centroid for such a T2 FS is reduced by 50%, and the importance of obtaining a non-symmetrical interval T2 FS prior to defuzzification is demonstrated.

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 کاملType-2 fuzzy set extension of DEMATEL method combined with perceptual computing for decision making
Most decision making methods used to evaluate a system or demonstrate the weak and strength points are based on fuzzy sets and evaluate the criteria with words that are modeled with fuzzy sets. The ambiguity and vagueness of the words and different perceptions of a word are not considered in these methods. For this reason, the decision making methods that consider the perceptions of decision...
متن کاملCentroid of an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Set Re-Formulation of the Problem
In theory of interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy sets, type-reduction is one of the most difficult parts. Karnik-Mendel (KM) algorithms have been the most popular method for computing type-reduction of IT2 fuzzy sets. These algorithms present two independent procedures for computing the generalized centroid of an IT2 fuzzy set: the first one for computing its left part (denoted by cl), and the second o...
متن کاملAn approximation method for Type Reduction of an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Set based on a-cuts
This paper shows a proposal for Type-reduction of an Interval Type-2 fuzzy set composed from α-cuts done over its primary membership functions. The definition of available Type-reduction methods for Interval Type-2 fuzzy sets are based on an homogeneous subdivision of the universe of discourse, so we propose an approximation algorithm for Type-reduction of an Interval type-2 fuzzy set through i...
