A simple and effective fuzzy clustering approach is presented for fuzzy modeling from industrial data. In this approach, fuzzy clustering is implemented in two phases: data compression by a self-organizing network, and fuzzy partitioning via fuzzy cmeans clustering associated with a proposed cluster validity measure. The approach is used to extract fuzzy models from data and find out the optima...

in this paper a network comprising alternative branching nodes with probabilistic outcomes is considered. in other words, network nodes are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. first, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of network. then, it is assumed that the duration of activities is positive trapezoidal fuzzy number (tfn). this paper com...

an orthogonal approach to the fuzzification of both multisets and hybridsets is presented. in particular, we introduce $l$-multi-fuzzy and$l$-fuzzy hybrid sets, which are general enough and in spirit with thebasic concepts of fuzzy set theory. in addition, we study the properties ofthese structures. also, the usefulness of these structures is examined inthe framework of mechanical multiset proc...

the main aim of the present study was to examine the effect of field-independent and field-dependent cognitive styles on learning an aiming task in closed and open environments based on fuzzy and classic logics. 60 male students with an age range of 16-17 were assigned to four groups (each group 15 subjects): field-independent with classic approach, field-dependent with classic approach, field-...

In this paper, a novel approach combining fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) is proposed to rank units with multiple fuzzy criteria. The hybrid fuzzy DEA/AHP approach derives the AHP pairwise comparisons by fuzzy DEA and utilizes AHP to fully rank units. It shows that the proposed approach generates a logical ranking of units that has perfect com...

in this paper, a new approach for solving the second order fuzzy differential equations (fde) with fuzzy initial value, under strongly generalized h-differentiability is presented. solving first order fuzzy differential equations by extending 1-cut solution of the original problem and solving fuzzy integro-differential equations has been investigated by some authors (see for example cite{darabi...

A geometrical approach to validation of fuzzy temporal relations between fuzzy time primitives, based on the possibility and necessity measures are proposed. Fuzzy temporal relations between fuzzy time points and fuzzy time point and fuzzy time interval are considered. The same approach can be used for evaluation of relation between two fuzzy intervals. An example of validation of temporal rela...

in this paper, we investigate the general fuzzy linear system of equations.  the  main aim of this paper is based on the embedding approach. we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of fuzzy solution of the mentioned systems.  finally, numerical examples are presented to more illustration of the proposed model.

using the mathematic techniques such as fuzzy approach has useful outcomes for production planning in different sources. in this paper lgp1 was used to model the objectives such as: avoidance of shortage or surplus of demand, access to maximum of income, using the normal capacity of production and organizing the inventory of warehouse, within the framework of goal constraints like balancing be...

This paper presents a thresholding approach by performing fuzzy partition on a two-dimensional (2-D) histogram based on fuzzy relation and maximum fuzzy entropy principle. The experiments with various gray level and color images have demonstrated that the proposed approach outperforms the 2-D nonfuzzy approach and the one dimensional (1-D) fuzzy partition approach.
