The considered models describe multicriteria decision making when the information provided from different criteria is given as fuzzy relations. These models differ according to the kind of the criteria weights and the aggregation procedures to fuse the fuzzy relations. The properties of aggregated fuzzy relation required to decide some multicriteria problem is discussed.

This paper presents a fuzzy combined model and a fuzzy combined controller to handle nonlinear systems. A fuzzy combination of some local fuzzy models is employed to represent a nonlinear system. Based on this fuzzy combined model, a fuzzy controller combining some local fuzzy controllers is proposed to control the nonlinear system. Conditions are derived to guarantee the system stability. By u...

The main goal of this contribution is to introduce the concept of higher order hesitant fuzzy soft set as an extension of fuzzy soft set that encompasses most of the existing extensions of fuzzy soft set as special cases. Furthermore, this new concept provides us with a method for dealing with multicriteria fuzzy decision making problems which are difficult to explain in other existing extensio...

This paper presents results from a study, where fuzzy string matching techniques were used as the sole query translation technique in Cross Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) between the closely related languages Swedish and Norwegian. It is a novel research idea to apply only fuzzy string matching techniques in query translation. Closely related languages share a number of words that are cr...

Fuzzy rule-based systems have been very popular in many engineering applications. In mineral engineering, fuzzy rules are normally constructed using some fuzzy rule extraction techniques to establish the determination model in predicting the d50c of hydrocyclones. However, when generating fuzzy rules from the available information, it may result in a sparse fuzzy rule base. The use of more than...

AbsfracfData mining has a lot of e-Commerce applications. The key problem is how to tind useful hidden patterns for better business applications. For these problems, granular fuzzy Web intelligence techniques are used to implement the granular fuzzy Web data mining system for available historical data of the credit company customers. Fuzzy computing and granular computing are used to design the...

Modeling and solving real world problems is one of the most important issues in optimization problems. In this paper, we present an approach to solve Fuzzy Interval Flexible Linear Programming (FIFLP) problems that simultaneously have the interval ambiguity in the matrix of coefficients .In the first step, using the interval problem solving techniques; we transform the fuzzy interval flexible p...

In the present paper, the researchers discuss the problem of weighted interval approximation of fuzzy numbers. This interval can be used as a crisp set approximation with respect to a fuzzy quantity. Then, by using this, the researchers propose a novel approach to ranking fuzzy numbers. This method can effectively rank various fuzzy numbers, their images and overcome the shortcomings of the pre...

* Department of Teacher Training in Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Technical Education, King’s Mongkut Institute of Technology North Bangkok. Abstract This paper describes fuzzy sliding-mode control (FSMC), a fuzzy logic control based upon variable structure techniques. A variable structure approach is designed with guaranteed stability properties. A ball and beam system is used here as an ...
