Classical automata theory can not deal with uncertainty. To deal with uncertainty in system modeling, fuzzy automata come into the existence. Fuzzy automaton depends on membership value. For finding the membership degree of strings in fuzzy automata, the concept of max – min automaton and min – max automaton can be used. Many researchers have used the concept of max – min automaton for finding ...

in this note first by considering the notion of general fuzzy automata (for simplicity gfa), we define the notions of direct product, restricted direct product and join of two gfa. also, we introduce some operations on (fuzzy) sets and then prove some related theorems. finally we construct the general fuzzy recognizers and recognizable sets and give the notion of (trim) reversal of a given gfa....

Some uniform categorical theoretical treatment of automata and lattice-valued fuzzy automata using quantale theory is studied in this paper. First, L-relational sheaves on a monoidM andQ-enriched categories are introduced for quantales L andQ, the equivalence of the corresponding categories are proved next. Then lattice-valued (fuzzy) automata are described by Q-enriched categories. In fact, la...

anti-lock braking system (abs) is a nonlinear and time varying system including uncertainty, so it cannot be controlled by classic methods. intelligent methods such as fuzzy controller are used in this area extensively; however traditional fuzzy controller using simple type-1 fuzzy sets may not be robust enough to overcome uncertainties. for this reason an interval type-2 fuzzy controller is de...

We introduce MK-fuzzy automata over a bimonoid K which is related to the fuzzification of the McCarthy-Kleene logic. Our automata are inspired by, and intend to contribute to, practical applications being in development in the LogicGuard project [15, 16]. We investigate closure properties of the class of MK-fuzzy languages accepted by MK-fuzzy automata as well as by their deterministic counterp...

State minimization is a fundamental problem in automata theory. The problem is also of great importance in the study of fuzzy automata. However, most work in the literature considered only state reduction of fuzzy automata, whereas the state minimization problem is almost untouched for fuzzy automata. Thus in this paper we focus on the latter problem. Formally, the decision version of the minim...

State reduction of fuzzy automata has been studied by many authors. All of them have dealt with classical fuzzy automata over the Gödel structure and reduction has been done using crisp equivalence relations. In [2, 3, 7] we have made several innovations. We have studied fuzzy automata over a more general structure of truth values, over a complete residuated lattice, we have shown that better r...

We give a new version of fuzzy alternating Büchi automata over distributive lattices: weights are putting in every leaf node of run trees rather than along with edges from every node to its children. Such settings are great benefit to obtain complement just by taking dual operation and replacing each final weight with its complement. We prove that L-fuzzy nondeterministic Büchi automata have th...

In this paper, our focus of attention is the proper propagationof fuzzy degrees in determinization of $Nondeterministic$ $Fuzzy$$Finite$ $Tree$ $Automata$ (NFFTA). Initially, two determinizationmethods are introduced which have some limitations (one inbehavior preserving and other in type of fuzzy operations). Inorder to eliminate these limitations and increasing theefficiency of FFTA, we defin...
