In most control and engineering applications, the use of fuzzy system as a way to improve the humtzn-computer interaction has becoming popular. This paper reports on the use of fuzzy system in mineral processing specifically in determining the parameter d50c of hydrocyclone. However, wit,h the inputoutput data provided to build the fuzzy rule base, it normally results in a sparse fuzzy rule bas...

This paper proposes input selection methods for fuzzy modeling, which are based on decision tree search approaches. The branching decision at each node of the tree is made based on the accuracy of the model available at the node. We propose two different approaches of decision tree search algorithms: bottom-up and top-down and four different measures for selecting the most appropriate set of in...

Pulmonary elastance provides an important basis for deciding air pressure parameters of mechanical ventilators, and airway resistance is an important parameter in the diagnosis of respiratory diseases. The authors have proposed a second order nonlinear differential equation model of respiratory system whose elastic and resistant coefficients are expressed by RBF networks with the lung volume as...

(This paper is an extended abstract for an invited talk at 29th Linz Seminar on Fuzzy Set Theory, February 2008.) Höhle has shown that fuzzy sets, valued in a frame (complete Heyting algebra) Ω, can be identified with certain sheaves over Ω: they are the subsheaves of constant sheaves, and more general sheaves can be got as quotients of the fuzzy sets. The technical development is complicated b...

Mobility of sensor node in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one of the key advantages of wireless over fixed communication system. But to track the sensor node in the heterogeneous network is more challenging and difficulties. In heterogeneous system, generally power consumption is more then homogeneous system. Thus, tracking the location of sensor node is not only one of the challenges for loc...

simultaneous routing and resource allocation has been considered in wireless networks for its performance improvement. in this paper we propose a cross-layer optimization framework for worst-case queue length minimization in some type of fdma based wireless networks, in which the the data routing and the power allocation problem are jointly optimized with fuzzy distributed h∞ control strategy ....

The (α, β) cut of an Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set (IFS) was studied by P. K. Sharma [4]. In this paper we introduce a new type of cut strong (α, β) cut of IFS and study their properties. Also three decomposition theorems are discussed.

In this paper, we introduce a stationary M∞-fuzzy metric on the set C B(X), where M∞-fuzzy metric can be thought of as the degree of nearness between two fuzzy sets with respect to any positive real number and C B(X) is the class of fuzzy sets with nonempty bounded closed α-cut sets. Under the φ-contraction conditions, we give some common fixed point theorems for self-mappings in the space C B(X).

In a large fuzzy rule-based system, a great dealof computation time is required for a fuzzy inference engine. A given fuzzy rule-based system is modeled as a fuzzy inference graph where each node in the graph corresponds to a relation representing a rule in the rule-based system. This paper presents algorithms to minimize the number of nodes in the graph using fuzzy operations as well as their ...

The fuzzy extensions of description logics support representation and reasoning for fuzzy knowledge. But the current fuzzy description logics do not support the expression of comparisons between fuzzy membership degrees. The paper proposes ALCfc, a fuzzy extension of description logic ALC with comparison expressions. ALCfc defines comparison cut concepts to express complex comparisons, and inte...
