This paper presents a hybrid form of control which has both Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) and Variable Structure Control (VSC) integrated. This proposed Fuzzy Variable Structure Control (FVSC) approach combines the power of approximate reasoning of FLC with the switching synthesis used in VSC. The FVSC is applied to control and stabilize a micro satellite in space. A model of satellite is used in t...

Road accident prediction plays an important role in accessing and improving the road safety. Besides the conventional generalized linear regression, the prediction approaches based on fuzzy logic and neural networks have increasingly been proven to have a significant accident-predicting capability in recent years. However, fuzzy logic and neural network have their respective limitations. For ex...

This paper aims to evaluate the impact of several indices of market structure including entry to barrier, economies of scale and concentration degree on 140 active industries using the digit. Accordingly, we apply three methods including cost disadvantages ratio ( ), Herfindahl–Hirschman concentration index ( ) and Comanor and Willson criterion in order to assess the economies of scale and usin...

The aim of this paper is to identify the industrial markets coordinates with the help of Herfindahl–Hirschman concentration index, cost disadvantage ratio (CDR) index and Comanor and Wilson's economies of scale index (MES). The paper also attempts to recognize Iran's monopolistic industries through the Fuzzy TOPSIS method presented by Chen (2000) under triangular fuzzy membership function. Give...

It is well known that fuzzy logic can be used in the control of complex systems described by highly nonlinear mathematical models. However, the main difficulty in the design of a fuzzy controller comes with the adjustment of the controller’s parameters that are usually determined by human experts’ knowledge or trial and error methods. In this paper, we describe an implementation of fuzzy logic ...

The control strategy of temperature and humidity in the beer barley malt drying chamber based on fuzzy logic control was implemented. Expounded in this paper was the selection of parameters for the structure of the regulatory device, as well as the essential design from control rules based on the existing experience. A temperature fuzzy controller was thus constructed using relevant fuzzy logic...

This paper presents the design of a Fuzzy PID controller (FPID) based on fuzzy logic with a PID structure with many valued logic and reasoning. The self-turning Fuzzy PID control take in an error and the rate of change of error of the altitude and attitude of the quadrotor as the input to the fuzzy controller and use the fuzzy rules to adjust the PID parameter automatically. Simulations have be...

With increased application of fuzzy logic in complex control systems, there is a need for a structured methodological approach in the development of fuzzy logic systems. Current fuzzy logic systems are developed based on individualistic bases and cannot face the challenge of interacting with other (fuzzy) systems in a dynamic environment. In this chapter a method for development of fuzzy system...

Multi-valued Fredkin gates (MVFG) are reversible gates and they can be considered as modified version of the better known reversible gate the Fredkin gate. Reversible logic gates are circuits that have the same number of inputs and outputs and have one-to-one and onto mapping between vectors of inputs and outputs; thus the vector of input states can be always reconstructed from the vectors of o...

agility metrics are difficult to define in general, mainly due to the multidimensionality and vagueness of the concept of agility itself. in this paper, a knowledge-based framework is proposed for the measurement and assessment of public sector agility using the a.t.kearney model. fuzzy logic provides a useful tool for dealing with decisions in which the phenomena are imprecise and vague. in th...
