متن کاملARITHMETIC-BASED FUZZY CONTROL
Fuzzy control is one of the most important parts of fuzzy theory for which several approaches exist. Mamdani uses $alpha$-cuts and builds the union of the membership functions which is called the aggregated consequence function. The resulting function is the starting point of the defuzzification process. In this article, we define a more natural way to calculate the aggregated consequence funct...

متن کاملA Note on the First Geometric-Arithmetic Index of Hexagonal Systems and Phenylenes
The first geometric-arithmetic index was introduced in the chemical theory as the summation of 2 du dv /(du dv ) overall edges of the graph, where du stand for the degree of the vertex u. In this paper we give the expressions for computing the first geometric-arithmetic index of hexagonal systems and phenylenes and present new method for describing hexagonal system by corresponding a simple g...
