Qualitative modeling of technical processes may be accomplished by dynamic fuzzy systems. A new inference method with interpolating rules is proposed as an essential basis for the analysis of this class of systems. Using this approach, the system output is dependent on both an interpolating rule derived from the fuzzy input and the fuzzy input itself. A simple example shows the typical behavior...

We present a new methodology to approximate trapezoidal fuzzy numbers set by using smoothing radial basis functions (RBFs). The uses different error and similarity indices determine compare the accuracy of approximation given data. For proposed method type are defined, called under tension. computation one these from data is described some convergence results proved. Finally, examples in two-di...

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...

This paper presents a comparison of the three fuzzy based image segmentation methods namely Fuzzy C-Means (FCM), TYPE-II Fuzzy C-Means (T2FCM), and Intuitionistic Fuzzy C-Means (IFCM) for digital images with varied levels of noise. Apart from qualitative performance, the paper also presents quantitative analysis of these three algorithms using four validity functions-Partition coefficient (Vpc)...

In this paper the concept of fuzzy descriptor as a level-two fuzzy set to represent some visual features is proposed. In particular, a fuzzy descriptor based on the dominance of color and texture features is defined and applied to image retrieval. For this purpose, the color and texture are modelled using fuzzy sets, taking into account the imprecision related to these visual features. In addit...

In this paper we consider the problem of the evaluation of system reliability, in which the lifetimes of components are described using a fuzzy exponential distribution. Formula of a fuzzy reliability function and its α-cut set are presented. The fuzzy reliability of structures is defined on the basis of fuzzy number. Furthermore, the fuzzy reliability functions of k -out-ofm system, series sys...

Classical ontologies are not suitable to represent vague pieces of information, which has lead to the birth of Fuzzy Description Logics as an appropriate formalism to represent this type of knowledge. Different families of fuzzy operators lead to Fuzzy Description Logics with different properties. This paper studies Fuzzy Description Logics under a semantics given by the Gödel family of fuzzy o...

This paper proposes a fuzzy classifier system (FCS) using fuzzy rules given by hyper-cone membership functions. The hyper-cone membership function is expressed by a kind of radial basis function, and its fuzzy rules can be flexibly located in input and output spaces. Therefore, The FCS can generate excellent rules which have the best location and shape of membership functions. We apply the FCS ...
