Studies in the area of Pattern Recognition have indicated that in most cases a classifier performs differently from one pattern class to another. This observation gave birth to the idea of combining the individual results from different classifiers to derive a consensus decision. This work investigates the potential of combining neural networks to remotely sensed images. A classifier system is ...

The purpose of this paper is to prove a Jensen type inequality for Choquet integrals with respect to a non-additive measure which was introduced by Choquet [1] and Sugeno [20]; Φ((C) ∫ fdμ) ≤ (C) ∫ Φ(f)dμ, where f is Choquet integrable, Φ : [0,∞) −→ [0,∞) is convex, Φ(α) ≤ α for all α ∈ [0,∞) and μf (α) ≤ μΦ(f)(α) for all α ∈ [0,∞). Furthermore, we give some examples assuring both satisfaction ...

In this paper, a new actuator fault tolerant control strategy is proposed for nonlinear Takagi-Sugeno systems. The proposed control law uses the estimated fault and the error between the faulty system state and a reference system state. A proportional integral observer with unknown inputs is conceived in order to estimate simultaneously states and actuator faults. The problem of design of obser...

Based on a set of criteria and a measuring lattice, we introduce relational measures as generalizations of fuzzy measures. The latter have recently made their way from the interval [0, 1] ⊆ IR to the ordinal or even to the qualitative level. We proceed further and introduce relational measures and relational integration. First ideas of this kind, but for the real-valued linear orderings stem fr...

Due to limitations of classical weighted average aggregation operators, there is an increase usage of fuzzy integrals, like the Sugeno and Choquet integrals, as alternative aggregation operators. However, their applicability has been threatened by the crux of determining the fuzzy measures in real problems. One way to determine these measures is by using learning data and optimizing the paramet...

Uncertainty has been treated in science for several decades. It always exists in real systems. Probability has been traditionally used in modeling uncertainty. Belief and plausibility functions based on the Dempster–Shafer theory ~DST! become another method of measuring uncertainty, as they have been widely studied and applied in diverse areas. Conversely, a fuzzy set has been successfully used...

As international corporate activities increase, their staffing involves more strategic concerns. However, foreign assignments have many differences, and dissatisfaction with the host country is a known cause of expatriate failure. From the point of view of an expatriate candidate, the decision of whether to take an expatriate assignment can be regarded as a FMCDM (fuzzy multiple criteria decisi...

We develop a purely ordinal model for aggregation functionals for lattice valued functions, comprising as special cases quantiles, the Ky Fan metric and the Sugeno integral. For modeling findings of psychological experiments like the reflection effect in decision behaviour under risk or uncertainty, we introduce reflection lattices. These are complete linear lattices endowed with an order rever...

Since the 2-DOF rehabilitation robot actuated by pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs) has highly nonlinear and time-varying behavior due to gas compression and nonlinear elasticity of bladder containers, it is difficult to achieve excellent control performance using classical control methods. Here, this study proposes a novel Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy approach to improve tracking performance. The T...

Our paper deals with the necessary properties in Fuzzy Measures. Therefore, it belongs to Fuzzy Mathematical Analysis. The Possibility Theory was created by Zadeh in a paper of 1978. As general purpose, to obtain a way to model flexible restrictions constructed from vague pieces of information. If we study the counterparts of expectations (from Probability Theory) in Possibility Theory, we obta...
