An coordinated control strategy has been proposed and successfully applied to 300MW circulating fluidized bed (CFB) units in China. The paper describes the new coordinated control (NCC) system to overcome the long settling time, strong coupling, nonlinearity and inconstancy encountered in CFB combustion. NCC is based on both fuzzy Feedforward (fuzzy-FF) control and the fuzzy-PID feedback contro...

This paper describes a self-organizing artificial neural network, based on Kohonen’s model of self-organization, which is capable of handling fuzzy input and of providing fuzzy classification. Unlike conventional neural net models, this algorithm incorporates fuzzy set-theoretic concepts at various stages. The input vector consists of membership values for linguistic properties along with some ...

We propose herein a novel unified framework that uses a developed hybrid fuzzy-neuro system in order to evaluate the impact of inheritance aspects on the evolvability of a class library, and to study the relevance of using inheritance as indicator of class interface stability with respect to version change. To this goal, we propose a novel computational granular unified framework that is cognit...

In this contribution connections between input fuzzy relations R1, . . . ,Rn on a set X and the output fuzzy relationRF = F(R1, . . . ,Rn) are studied. F is a function of the form F : [0, 1]n → [0, 1] and RF is called an aggregated fuzzyrelation. In the literature the problem of preservation, by a function F, diverse types of properties of fuzzy relationsR1, . . . ,Rn is examined. Here, it is c...

In this paper, we have developed a heuristic that uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to rank Decision Making Units (DMUs) with fuzzy input and output values in the order of their probable efficiency. The heuristic is designed to be used with the raw samples of the fuzzy data, and does not require knowledge of the fuzzy data’s probability distribution. It is meant to be a simple method of diff...

Fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic are the convenient tools for handling uncertain, imprecise, or unmodeled data in intelligent decision-making systems. The utility of fuzzy logic in system controls domain is presented in the context of a mobile robot navigation control application. The Takagi-Sugeno controller is a fuzzy model capable of approximating a wide class of nonlinear systems by decompo...

In some companies, undesirable costs are imposed for provision of services. It is required that current outputs of decision making units are produced at minimal undesirable cost. In this paper, a new method is proposed for evaluating the undesirable cost imposed on the units. Moreover, data is considered in fuzzy number form, due to the observed input-output data are sometimes imprecise in real...

This paper describes an investigation in which a fuzzy control paradigm was applied to a small spark-ignition gasoline-fuelled internal-combustion engine, to achieve regulation of the fuel injection system. The control system determined the amount of fuel required from a fuzzy algorithm that used the engine speed and manifold air pressure as input values. The parameters of the fuzzy system cons...

A neural network can approximate a function, but it is impossible to interpret the result in terms of natural language. The consolidation of neural networks and fuzzy logic in neurofuzzy models provides learning as well as readability. This paper aims at modeling the input-output relationship with fuzzy IF-THEN rules by using fuzzy clustering technique. The main difference between fuzzy cluster...
