abstract this author introduces the concept of stepwise strategy approach (ssa) for dealing with a number of problems arises in the current age of technology. this new idea is combined with the knowledge of grey theory for adding flexibility to decision making process. grey theory is useful for grasping the ambiguity exists in the utilized information and the fuzziness appears in the human judg...

Qualitative modeling of technical processes may be accomplished by dynamic fuzzy systems. A new inference method with interpolating rules is proposed as an essential basis for the analysis of this class of systems. Using this approach, the system output is dependent on both an interpolating rule derived from the fuzzy input and the fuzzy input itself. A simple example shows the typical behavior...

Dichotomization of the outcome by a single cut-off point is an important part of various medical studies. Usually the relationship between the resulted dichotomized dependent variable and explanatory variables is analyzed with linear regression, probit regression or logistic regression. However, in many real-life situations, a certain cut-off point dividing the outcome into two groups is unknow...

Fuzzy formal logics were introduced in or-der to handle graded truth values insteadof only ‘true’ and ‘false’. A wide range ofsuch logics were introduced successfully, likeMonoidal T-norm based Logic, Basic Logic,Gödel Logic, Lukasiewicz Logic etc. How-ever, in general, fuzzy set theory is not onlyconcerned with vagueness, but also with un-certainty. A possible s...

An open question in fuzzy logic control of robot manipulators is how to modify the fuzzy controller parameters to guarantee appropriate performance specifications. In this paper a new approach to performance tuning of analytic fuzzy controllers for robot manipulators is presented. The analytic fuzzy control is a nonconventional approach that uses an analytic function for output determination, i...

This paper proposes a Time Delay nonlinear dynamic model of HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1), introducing the drug consumption efficiencies as the controlling input for the model. The paper also represents the fuzzy T-S representation and the corresponding Fuzzy T-S controller. The controller parameters are tuned using LMIs (Linear Matrix Inequalities). The main focus is on the stabi...

we consider biobjective shortest path problems in networks with fuzzy arc lengths. considering the available studies for single objective shortest path problems in fuzzy networks, using a distance function for comparison of fuzzy numbers, we propose three approaches for solving the biobjective prob- lems. the rst and second approaches are extensions of the labeling method to solve the sing...
