It is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. Contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. Some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. Depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

On a Lebesgue measure space with measure element do, and total measure finite or infinite, we consider the complex-valued measurable functions f, y, so, ., each determined only a.e., and each belonging to all L,-classes simultaneously, 1<r< a. We donote (i) by F = {f} a ring of functions with complex constants and ordinary multiplication and closed under the involution: if f -= f + if2 e F then...

This paper proposes a novel method for on-line modeling and robust adaptive control via Takagi–Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models for nonaffine nonlinear systems, with external disturbances. The T-S fuzzy model is established to approximate the nonaffine nonlinear dynamic system in a linearized way. The so-called second type adaptive law is adopted, where not only the consequent part (the weighting fact...

Though still barely known outside of Randian circles, the doctrine of the arbitrary assertion has come to occupy a prominent place in Objectivist epistemology. Ayn Rand’s disciple Leonard Peikoff is responsible for its only detailed presentation in print. The doctrine raises several philosophical questions. Does an epistemology firmly grounded in facts about human mental functioning, as Rand’s ...

I N T R O D U C T I O N It is well known that fuzzy inference is a theoretical foundation of fuzzy control systems and fuzzy expert systems. At present, general fuzzy inference methods include the CRI (compositional rules of inference) method, (+,-)-centroid method, simple inferen...

Ranking of fuzzy numbers play an important role in decision making, optimization, forecasting etc. Fuzzy numbers must be ranked before an action is taken by a decision maker. Cheng (Cheng, C. H. (1998). A new approach for ranking fuzzy numbers by distance method. Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 95, 307–317) pointed out that the proof of the statement ‘‘Ranking of generalized fuzzy numbers does not depe...

We study operations on fuzzy languages such as union, concatenation, Kleene ⋆, intersection with regular fuzzy languages, and several kinds of (iterated) fuzzy substitution. Then we consider families of fuzzy languages, closed under a fixed collection of these operations, which results in the concept of full Abstract Family of Fuzzy Languages or full AFFL. This algebraic structure is the fuzzy ...
