A Broad View of Systems Analysis and Design: Implications for Research

Conical Conformal Antenna Design using the CPM Method for MIMO Systems

Abstract- In this article, the design of conformal antennas has been discussed using the characteristic modes (CM) method. For this purpose, the vector wave function(VWF) has been utilized to achieve a two-dimensional mapping of the conformal antenna. In designing and analyzing of cone-shaped antennas applicable for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, the most important goal is to achieve ...

Universal Approximation of Interval-valued Fuzzy Systems Based on Interval-valued Implications

It is firstly proved that the multi-input-single-output (MISO) fuzzy systems based on interval-valued $R$- and $S$-implications can approximate any continuous function defined on a compact set to arbitrary accuracy.  A formula to compute the lower upper bounds on the number  of interval-valued fuzzy sets needed to achieve a pre-specified approximation  accuracy for an arbitrary multivariate con...

Reliability and Sensitivity Analysis of Structures Using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Systems

In this study, an efficient method based on Monte Carlo simulation, utilized with Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is introduced for reliability analysis of structures. Monte Carlo Simulation is capable of solving a broad range of reliability problems. However, the amount of computational efforts that may involve is a draw back of such methods. ANFIS is capable of approximating str...
