The Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (ANP) is generally used for solving multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problems by considering the pairwise comparison between criteria/sub-criteria, and inner/outer dependencies among criteria. Linguistic expressions are used for experts’ judgements, and these judgements are imprecise and vague. Hence, incorporating fuzziness with multi-criteria decision ma...

The event-triggered output feedback fault-tolerant control problem is studied in this paper for interval type-2 Takagi–Sugeno (IT2 T-S) fuzzy large-scale systems with time delays. First, a state observer designed to address the immeasurable states problem. Then, by introducing discrete mechanism, an observer-based decentralized controller dynamic parameters synthesized presence of actuator faul...

Recurrent fuzzy neural networks (FNNs) have been widely applied to dynamic system processing problems. However, most recurrent FNNs focus on the use of type-1 fuzzy sets. This paper proposes a Mamdani-type recurrent interval type-2 FNN (M-RIT2FNN) that uses interval type-2 fuzzy sets in both rule antecedent and consequent parts. The reason for using interval type-2 fuzzy sets is to increase net...

In this study, a new Robust Inexact Joint-optimal a cut Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Boundary Linear Programming (RIJ-IT2FBLP) model is developed for planning of energy systems by integrating both the interval T2 fuzzy sets and the Inexact Linear Programming (ILP) methods. It intends to find an optimal solution for energy systems under such uncertainty expressed as interval fuzzy boundary intervals th...

In this paper we study two important concepts, i.e. the direct andthe inverse limit of hyperstructures associated with fuzzy sets of type 2, andshow that the direct and the inverse limit of hyperstructures associated withfuzzy sets of type 2 are also hyperstructures associated with fuzzy sets of type 2.

Decision making is an important issue in business and project management that assists finding the optimal alternative from a number of feasible alternatives. Decision making requires adequate consideration of uncertainty in projects. In this paper, in order to address uncertainty of project environments, interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FSs) are used. In other words, the rating of each alternativ...

This paper examines type-2 fuzzy arithmetic using interval analysis. It relies heavily on alpha-cuts and alpha-planes. Furthermore, we discuss the use of quasi type-2 fuzzy sets proposed by Mendel and Liu and define quasi type-2 fuzzy numbers. Arithmetic operations of such numbers are defined and a worked example is presented. Keywords— Fuzzy Arithmetic, Type-2 Fuzzy Arithmetic, Type-2 Fuzzy Nu...

As a result of emerging computation technologies, information systems are developed to support various processes of enterprises. ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) has been a leading EIS (Enterprise Information Systems) application and companies are allocating resources to such new projects. However, studies report that most of the projects fail or cannot reach the desired outcomes selecting in...

Type-1 Fuzzy Logic Systems (FLSs) have been applied to date with great success to different applications. However, for many real-world applications, there is a need to cope with large amounts of uncertainties. The traditional Type-1 FLSs that use crisp Type-1 fuzzy sets cannot directly handle such uncertainties. Type-2 FLSs that use Type2 fuzzy sets can handle such uncertainties to produce a be...
