DEFINITION 1.1. A fuzzy variable is characterized by a triple (X, U, R (X;u)). in which X is the name of the variable; U is a universe of discourse (finite or infinite set); u is a generic name for the elements of U; and R(X;u) is a fuzzy subset of U which represents a fuzzy restriction on the values of u imposed by X. [As in the case of nonfuzzy variables, R(X;u) will usually be abbreviated to...

This paper studies three notions of fuzzy dominance based on credibility measure, namely, the fuzzy mean-risk dominance, the first credibilistic dominance and the second credibilistic dominance. More precisely, we introduce and examine some properties of the Fuzzy Lower Partial Moments (FLPM) of a fuzzy variable and, we deduce the Fuzzy Kappa index (FK) of a fuzzy variable, that is, a riskadjus...

Lawrence O. Hall Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, ENB 118 University of South Florida Tampa, Fl. 33620 [email protected] Abstract A fuzzy expert system must do rule chaining differently than a non-fuzzy expert system. In particular, any rule that can fire with a particular linguistic variable in its consequent must fire before any rule whose antecedent conditions depend upon the resul...

The paper proposed to use recurrent Fuzzy-Neural Multi-Model (FNMM) identifier for decentralized identification of a distributed parameter anaerobic wastewater treatment digestion bioprocess, carried out in a fixed bed and a recirculation tank. The distributed parameter analytical model of the digestion bioprocess is used as a plant data generator. It is reduced to a lumped system using the ort...
