We present a methodology for characterization and an approach for computing the solutions of fuzzy linear systems with LR fuzzy variables. As solutions, notions of exact and approximate solutions are considered. We transform the fuzzy linear system into a corresponding linear crisp system and a constrained least squares problem. If the corresponding crisp system is incompatible, then the fuzzy ...

A neuro-fuzzy system for character recognition using a fuzzy Hough transform technique is presented in this paper. For each character pattern, membership values are determined for a number of fuzzy sets defined on the standard Hough transform accumulator cells. These basic fuzzy sets are combined by t-norms to synthesize additional fuzzy sets whose heights form an ndimensional feature vector fo...

This paper proposes a method for designing high performance fuzzy controllers with a compact rule system. The method is mainly derived from flexible parameterized membership functions (FPMFs) and a novel intelligent genetic algorithm (IGA). Each FPMF consists of flexible trapezoidal fuzzy sets that the fuzzy set is encoded by five parameters. Furthermore, the membership functions and fuzzy rule...

This paper presents a new approach to acquisition of comprehensible fuzzy rules for fuzzy modeling from data using evolutionary programming(EP). For the accuracy of the model, it is e ective to allow overlapping of membership functions with each other in the fuzzy model. From the viewpoint of knowledge acquisition, it is desirable that the model has a smaller number of membership functions with...

An efficient self-organizing neural fuzzy controller (SONFC) is designed to improve the transient stability of multimachine power systems. First, an artificial neural network (ANN)-based model is introduced for fuzzy logic control. The characteristic rules and their membership functions of fuzzy systems are represented as the processing nodes in the ANN model. With the excellent learning capabi...

The purpose of this paper is to present a genetic learning process for learning fuzzy control roles from examples. It is developed in three stages: the first one is a fuzzy rule genetic generating process based on a rule learning iterative approach, the second one combines two kinds of rules, experts rules if there are and the previously generated fuzzy control rules, removing the redundant fuz...

In this paper, we propose a genetic-algorithm-based fuzzy-knowledge integration framework that can simultaneously integrate multiple fuzzy rule sets and their membership function sets. The proposed approach consists of two phases: fuzzy knowledge encoding and fuzzy knowledge integration. In the encoding phase, each fuzzy rule set with its associated membership functions is first transformed int...

This paper presents a new filtering approach based on fuzzy-logic which has high performance in mixed noise environments. This filter is mainly based on the idea that each pixel is not allowed to be uniformly fired by each of the fuzzy rules. In the proposed filtering algorithm, the rule membership functions are tuned iteratively in order to preserve the image edges. Several test experiments we...

Although fuzzy logic systems have been successfully applied in many complex industrial processes, they experience a deficiency in knowledge acquisition and rely to a great extent on empirical and heuristic knowledge, which, in many cases, cannot be objectively elicited. One of the most important considerations in designing fuzzy systems is construction of the membership functions for each fuzzy...
