Soft Computing techniques play an important role for decision in applications with imprecise and uncertain knowledge. The application of soft computing disciplines is rapidly emerging for the diagnosis and prognosis in medical applications. Between various soft computing techniques, fuzzy expert system takes advantage of fuzzy set theory to provide computing with uncertain words. In a fuzzy exp...

OBJECTIVES To develop a neuro-fuzzy system to predict the presence of prostate cancer. Neuro-fuzzy systems harness the power of two paradigms: fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks. We compared the predictive accuracy of our neuro-fuzzy system with that obtained by total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) and percent free PSA (%fPSA). METHODS The data from 1030 men (both outpatients and ho...

This research addresses system reliability analysis using weakest t-norm based approximate intuitionistic fuzzy arithmetic operations, where failure probabilities of all components are represented by different types of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Due to the incomplete, imprecise, vague and conflicting information about the component of system, the present study evaluates the reliability of sy...

implementation of enterprise resource planning has had a chaotic history in which many projects ended successfully and many failed or ended without approaching the predetermined objectives. this research, in terms of purpose, is considered fundamental since it designs a new system for solving a fundamental problem and it is also an applied research because the research result is deployed in the...

In this paper, a new adaptive fuzzy reasoning method using compensatory fuzzy operators is proposed to make a fuzzy logic system more adaptive and more effective. Such a compensatory fuzzy logic system is proved to be a universal approximator. The compensatory neural fuzzy networks built by both control-oriented fuzzy neurons and decision-oriented fuzzy neurons cannot only adaptively adjust fuz...

Distributed flexible AC- transmission system (D-FACTS) is a recently advanced FACTS device with high flexibility and smaller size. The DPFC can control power flow in transmission lines, regulate bus voltages and it can also enhance stability margin in power grids. Adaptive-neural network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) combines features of artificial neural network and fuzzy controller. Th...

This study presents a novel controller of magnetic levitation system by using new neuro-fuzzy structures which called flexible neuro-fuzzy systems. In this type of controller we use sliding mode control with neuro-fuzzy to eliminate the Jacobian of plant. At first, we control magnetic levitation system with Mamdanitype neuro-fuzzy systems and logical-type neuro-fuzzy systems separately and then...

In the formal and fully graded setting of Fuzzy Class Theory (or higher-order fuzzy logic) we make an initial investigation into basic notions of fuzzy topology. In particular we study graded notions of fuzzy topology regarded as a fuzzy system of open or closed fuzzy sets and as a fuzzy system of fuzzy neighborhoods. We show their basic graded properties and mutual relationships provable in Fu...

This report describes the fuzzy classiier system and a new payoo distribution scheme that performs true reinforcement learning. The fuzzy classiier system is a crossover between learning classiier systems and fuzzy logic controllers. By the use of fuzzy logic, the fuzzy classiier system allows for variables to take continuous values, and thus, could be applied to the identiication and control o...

This article formulates a new technique for behavior analysis of systems through fuzzy Kolmogorov's differential equations and Particle Swarm Optimization. For handling the uncertainty in data, differential equations have been formulated by Markov modeling of system in fuzzy environment. First solution of these derived fuzzy Kolmogorov's differential equations has been found by Runge-Kutta four...
