Capillary forces arising during the evaporation of liquids from dense carbon nanotube arrays are used to reassemble the nanotubes into two-dimensional contiguous cellular foams. The stable nanotube foams can be elastically deformed, transferred to other substrates, or floated out to produce free-standing macroscopic fabrics. The lightweight cellular foams made of condensed nanotubes could have ...

In this paper we introduce a procedure, based on the max-min clustering method, that identifies a fixed order of training pattern presentation for fuzzy adaptive resonance theory mapping (ARTMAP). This procedure is referred to as the ordering algorithm, and the combination of this procedure with fuzzy ARTMAP is referred to as ordered fuzzy ARTMAP. Experimental results demonstrate that ordered f...

Diversity of opinion is an empirical fact often appearing in social networks. In the paper known statistical methods of evaluation is substituted by fuzzy concepts, namely Step Ordered Fuzzy Numbers (SOFN). SOFN are extentions of Ordered Fuzzy numbers (OFN) introduced by Kosiński, Prokopowicz and Ślȩzak in 2002. In 2011 Kacprzak and Kosiński observed that SOFN may be equipped with a lattice str...

The main objective of this paper is to deal with some properties of interest in two types of fuzzy ordered proximal contractions of cyclic self-mappings T integrated in a pair (g, T) of mappings. In particular, g is a non-contractive fuzzy self-mapping, in the framework of non-Archimedean ordered fuzzy complete metric spaces and T is a p-cyclic proximal contraction. Two types of such contractio...

In this paper we propose a novel training algorithm for RBF networks that is based on extended kalman filter and fuzzy logic.After the user choose how many prototypes to include in the network, the extended kalman filter simultancously solves for the prototype vectors and the weight matrix.The fuzzy logic is used to cope with the devergence problem caused by the insufficiently known a priori fi...

This paper describes and analyzes two algorithms for locating and computing with certainty all the simple roots of a twice continuously differentiable function f : (a, b) ⊂ R→ R and all the extrema of a three times continuously differentiable function in (a, b). The first algorithm locates and computes all the simple roots or all the extrema, while the second one is more efficient in the case w...

This paper presents certain important aspects of the fuzzy logic extension, one of which is OFN. It includes basic definitions of that discipline. It also compares fuzzy logic arithmetic with the arithmetic of ordered fuzzy numbers in L-R notation. Computational experiments were based on fuzzy observation of the impounding basin. The results of the study show that there is a connection between ...

We study the structure of partially ordered monoids generated by certain operators on families of fuzzy languages. These operators are induced by simple, well-known operations on fuzzy languages, like fuzzy homomorphism, fuzzy finite substitution and intersection with regular fuzzy languages. The structure of these monoids provides better insight in the (in)dependency of closure properties of s...

− In this paper a development of an adaptive Kalman filter through a fuzzy inference system (FIS) is outlined. The adaptation is concerned with the imposition of conditions under which the filter measurement noise covariance matrix R or the process noise covariance matrix Q are estimated. The adaptive adjustment is carried out using a FIS based on the whiteness of the filter innovation sequence...

The aim of this paper is further to develop the filter theory on residuated lattices. The concept of interval valued intuitionistic (T, S)-fuzzy filters on residuated lattices is introduced by linking the intuitionistic fuzzy set, t-norm, s-norm and filter theory of residuated lattices; The properties and equivalent characterizations of Interval valued intuitionistic (T, S)-fuzzy filters are in...
