Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) have been proposed to represent causal reasoning by using numeric processing. They graphically represent uncertain causal reasoning. In the resonant states, there emerges a limit cycle or a hidden pattern, which is a FCM inference. However, there are some shortcomings concerned with knowledge representation in the conventional FCMs. In this paper, we propose Extended...

The objective of this paper is to devise a vision-based control scheme for the Khepera-II robot to achieve efficient object tracking using fuzzy logic. The robot is equipped with a K2D video turret. The algorithm was verified in simulation study by the Webots simulator using a colored ball as the sample object. Pattern recognition was not performed hence the algorithm can be used for tracking t...

Using a mobile-phone-based experience-sampling technology in a sample of 378 individuals ranging from 14 to 86 years of age, we investigated age differences in how people want to influence their feelings in their daily lives. Contra-hedonic motivations of wanting either to maintain or enhance negative affect or to dampen positive affect were most prevalent in adolescence, whereas prohedonic mot...

In this paper, a fuzzy modeling method using genetic algorithms (GAs) with a conciseness measure is presented. This paper introduces De Luca and Termini's fuzzy entropy to evaluate the shape of a membership function, and proposes another measure to evaluate the deviation of a membership function from symmetry. A combined measure is then derived from these two measures, and a new conciseness mea...

Fuzzy process capability indices are used to determine whether a production process is capable of producing items within specification tolerance, where instead of precise quality we have two membership functions for specification limits. In practice these indices are estimated using sample data and it is of interest to obtain confidence limits for fuzzy capability index given a sample estimate....

In this paper, the concept of fuzzy automata normed linear structure spaces is introduced and suitable examples are provided. ;The ;concepts of fuzzy automata $alpha$-open sphere, fuzzy automata $mathscr{N}$-locally compact spaces, fuzzy automata $mathscr{N}$-Hausdorff spaces are also discussed. Some properties related with to fuzzy automata normed linear structure spaces and fuzzy automata $ma...

The notion of fuzzy function based on many-valued equivalence relations (many-valued similarity relations (equalities) [17, 18, 19], fuzzy equivalence relations [4, 6, 7, 21, 22, 26], similarity relations [1, 2, 3, 15, 28], indistinguishability operators [27], etc.) has been introduced by several authors, and applied to category theory [5], approximate reasoning and fuzzy control theory [8, 10,...
