Fuzzy logic has been successfully applied in various fields, but these applications have usually suffered from the problem of low speed. Typically, calculation of the matching degree requires very high latency, which limits the overall inference speed. In this paper, we prove that the matching degree between two trapezoid-shaped membership functions can be obtained without traversing all the el...

The product safety of food-waste feed is the key factor limiting the development of its industrial chain. In this paper, we construct a method based on data from the testing of food-waste feed with comprehensive evaluation of its product safety by integrating fuzzy mathematics effectively, i.e., the entropy method (EM), and the model of the analytic hierarchy (AHP) process. Furthermore, a hiera...

In almost every work on fuzzy sets, the existence of membership functions taking part in the considered model is assumed and it is not studied in depth whether or not such functions exist. On the other hand, generally the relationship between a certain studied characteristic and its referential set is not problematic since it is usually a matter of direct measurement. However, in a great variet...

In this paper a fuzzy decision-making method is proposed to make local decisions in case of breakdown occuring in a context of product-driven systems. To cope with breakdown uncertainty, three parameters, α, β and γ are created to evaluate the impact of it. Further, a fuzzy rule based on a membership function is designed to decide between centralized and distributed decisions concerning the re-...

Since membership functions reflect what is known about the variables involved in a problem, when they are c...

The paper presents an automated method for generating fuzzy rules and fuzzy membership functions for pattern classification from training sets of examples. Initially, fuzzy subspaces are created from the partitions formed by the minimum and maximum of individual feature values of each class. The initial membership functions are determined according to the generated fuzzy partitions. The fuzzy s...

The present study considers a fuzzy color system in which triangular pyramid-like membership functions are constructed on the RGB color triangle. This system can process a fuzzy input to an RGB system and output the center of gravity of three weights associated with respective grades. Triangular pyramid-like membership functions are applied to the RGB color triangle relationship. By treating th...

The problem of histogram sharpening and thresholding by mlnJmising greylevel fuzziness is considered. The earlier work on the said problem consists only of algoril.hms without mathematical justification of the findings. For example, the choices of appropriate membership function and the optimum value of its window size (band width) for deteeting thresholds were made experimentally with iterativ...

A novel hierarchical coevolutionary approach called HiCEFS for the dynamic generation of a fuzzy system from data is presented. This paper is focused on using the proposed hierarchical coevolutionary approach to generate a form of generic membership function (MF) called Irregular Shaped Membership Function (ISMF). This approach divides the ISMFs generation task into several subtasks of finding ...
