Nowadays, the Fuzzy C-Means method has become one of the most popular clustering methods based on minimization of a criterion function. However, the performance of this clustering algorithm may be significantly degraded in the presence of noise. This paper presents a robust clustering algorithm called Bilateral Weighted Fuzzy CMeans (BWFCM). We used a new objective function that uses some k...

Abstract In this paper, a fuzzy PID with new structure is proposed to solve the load frequency control in interconnected power systems. in this study, a new structure and effective of the fuzzy PID-type Load frequency control (LFC) is proposed to solve the load frequency control in interconnected power systems. The main objective is to eliminate the deviations in the frequency of different area...

This paper proposes an optimal design for interval type-2 Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy logic system. In this method, the fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is used to determine structure of fuzzy rule as well as number of rules. A hybrid between chaos firefly algorithm and genetic algorithms (CFGA) is developed, which is used to find the desirable parameters of membership functions and conseq...

In this paper, a new adaptive fuzzy reasoning method using compensatory fuzzy operators is proposed to make a fuzzy logic system more adaptive and more effective. Such a compensatory fuzzy logic system is proved to be a universal approximator. The compensatory neural fuzzy networks built by both control-oriented fuzzy neurons and decision-oriented fuzzy neurons cannot only adaptively adjust fuz...

This paper discusses a variation of the Fuzzy ART algorithm referred to as the Fuzzy ART Variant. The Fuzzy ART Variant is a Fuzzy ART algorithm that uses a very large choice parameter value. Based on the geometrical interpretation of the weights in Fuzzy ART, useful properties of learning associated with the Fuzzy ART Variant are presented and proven. One of these properties establishes an upp...

  We consider criticality in project networks having imprecise activity duration times. It is well known that finding all possibly critical paths of an imprecise project network is an NP-hard problem. Here, based on a method for finding critical paths of crisp networks by using only the forward recursion of critical path method, for the first time an algorithm is proposed which can find all pos...

EDF is a classic dynamic embedded realtime multi-task scheduling algorithm. In an embedded soft real-time system, the deadline missing ratio is an important metric to evaluate system performance. When an embedded soft realtime system is overloaded, EDF algorithm is not effective. Considering the unsteadiness and unpredictability of a practical task running environment due to the unsteadiness of...

In this paper we consider a global optimization approach for solving fuzzy fractional posynomial geometric programming problems. The problem of concern involves positive trapezoidal fuzzy numbers in the objective function. For obtaining an optimal solution, Dinkelbach’s algorithm which achieves the optimal solution of the optimization problem by means of solving a sequence of subproblems ...

The author proposes an extension of genetic algorithm (GA) for solving fuzzy-valued optimization problems. In the proposed GA, values in the genotypes are not real numbers but fuzzy numbers. Evolutionary processes in GA are extended so that GA can handle genotype instances with fuzzy numbers. The proposed method is applied to evolving neural networks with fuzzy weights and biases. Experimental ...
