Based on the similarity between prevalent fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) and the conventional robust controller, i.e., the variable structure controller, control theoretic analysis of a fuzzy control system is presented in the sense of Lyapunov. As well as the robustness of the fuzzy control system against uncertainties of a controlled process, this analysis gives an account of the relationship ...

The growing availability of high-resolution satellite imagery provides an opportunity for identifying road objects. Most studies associated with road detection are scene-related and also based on the digital number of each pixel. Because images can provide more details (including color, size, shape, and texture), object-based processing is more advantageous. Therefore, in this paper, to handle ...

In three case studies on notions of fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory (Dubois–Prade’s gradual elements, the entropy of a fuzzy set, and aggregation operators), the paper exemplifies methodological differences between traditional and deductive fuzzy logic. While traditional fuzzy logic admits various interpretations of membership degrees, deductive fuzzy logic always interprets them as degrees of...

Communication protocols issues are one of the effective factors in communicated networks performance. One of challenging problem in CMT-SCTP which sends data by multipath concurrently is Receive Buffer Blocking. This problem has important role in data transmission speed in computer networks. In this paper, we propose a control method based on fuzzy logic so that can solve Receive Buffer Blockin...

higher education plays a very vital role in developing human resources as well as economic ones in every country. in so doing, the act of evaluation would help the decision makers as well as managers to spot the weaknesses to use the required provisions to work more effectively. the present study with a different approach toward the designing a comprehensive evaluation expert system using fuzzy...

This paper analyzes the number of operations and parameters of general fuzzy logic control algorithms. And limitations of loop controllers to implement the fuzzy logic control are investigated in terms of computation time and required memory. Using analysis of general fuzzy logic control algorithms, it is shown that general fuzzy logic control algorithms are not suitable for loop controllers. A...

In this paper, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy system, called HyFIS, is proposed to build and optimise fuzzy models. The proposed model introduces the learning power of neural networks into the fuzzy logic systems and provides linguistic meaning to the connectionist architectures. Heuristic fuzzy logic rules and input-output fuzzy membership functions can be optimally tuned from training eramples by a ...

Fuzzy Logic, introduced by Zadeh along with his introduction of fuzzy sets, is a continuous multi-valued logic system. Hence, it is a generalization of the classical logic and the classical discrete multi-valued logic (e.g. Łukasiewicz’ three/many-valued logic). Throughout the years Zadeh and other researches have introduced extensions to the theory of fuzzy setts and fuzzy logic. Notable exten...

Each fuzzy set can be represented by a nested system of ordinary sets—its a-cuts. There is an extensive literature on fuzzy sets devoted to problems of the following kind: is it possible to reduce operations with fuzzy sets to operations with their a-cuts? Is it possible to reduce properties of fuzzy relations to properties of their a-cuts? More generally, can a fuzzy concept be represented by ...
