this paper presents a gain scheduled autopilot for pitch channel of a flying vehicle. the selected method is based on polynomial fuzzy systems. the method does not involve linearization about operating point. first the polynomial fuzzy model of pitch channel of the flight body is derived. next, using polynomial fuzzy system methodology the controller is design such that the outputs of the nonli...

This paper presents an approach to building multi-input and single-output fuzzy models. Such a model is composed of fuzzy implications, and its output is inferred by simplified reasoning. The implications are automatically generated by the structure and parameter identification. In structure identification, the optimal or near optimal number of fuzzy implications is determined in view of valid ...

The paper introduces a simple, yet powerful axiomatization of Zadeh’s notion of fuzzy set, based on formal fuzzy logic. The presented formalism is strong enough to serve as foundations of a large part of fuzzy mathematics. Its essence is elementary fuzzy set theory, cast as two-sorted first-order theory over fuzzy logic, which is generalized to simple type theory. We show a reduction of the ele...

This paper is a review of monopoles, lowest Landau level, fuzzy spheres, and their mutual relations. The Hopf maps of division algebras provide a prototype relation between monopoles and fuzzy spheres. Generalization of complex numbers to Clifford algebra is exactly analogous to generalization of fuzzy two-spheres to higher dimensional fuzzy spheres. Higher dimensional fuzzy spheres have an int...

Over the past 10 years there has been a growing need to introduce closed-loop control technology for vibration suppression of buildings subject to wind or earthquake disturbances. This paper deals with the investigation of the effectiveness of a fuzzy logic based time variable damping tuned mass damper (TMD) on a building structure undergoing free and forced vibrations. The uniqueness of this a...

In [8], we introduced the concept of fuzzy r-minimal structure which is an extension of smooth fuzzy topological spaces and fuzzy topological spaces in Chang's sense. And we also introduced and studied the fuzzy r-M continuity. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of fuzzy r-minimal compactness, almost fuzzy r-minimal compactness and nearly fuzzy r-minimal compactness on fuzzy r-minimal spa...

The aim of this paper is to study the generalization of the intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces such as intuitionistic fuzzy 2-normed space. In this structure, we have discussed the intuitionistic fuzzy 2continuity and intuitionistic fuzzy 2-boundedness. Also, we have introduced the intuitionistic fuzzy ψ-2-normed space which is a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy 2-normed space. We have di...

Economic growth in developing countries has resulted in increasing demand for infrastructure projects like power plants. To meet these development needs, the government of Iran has engaged companies to carry out power plant projects. While many papers have been written on the subject of project risk management, little information exists on the actual use of risk management in practice. The prim...

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...
