Echocardiographic images are inherent with speckle noise which makes visual reading and analysis quite difficult. The multiplicative speckle noise masks finer details, necessary for diagnosis of abnormalities. A novel speckle reduction technique based on integration of geometric, wiener, and fuzzy filters is proposed and analyzed in this paper. The denoising applications of fuzzy filters are st...

In this paper, we show that every selective groupoid induced by a fuzzy subset is a pogroupoid, and we discuss several properties in quasi ordered sets by introducing the notion of a framework.

We prove the existence of fuzzy common fixed point of two mappings satisfying a generalized contractive condition in complete ordered spaces. Our results provide extension as well as substantial improvements of several well-known results in the existing literature and initiate the study of fuzzy fixed point theorems in ordered spaces. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper presents the optimization of shunt active power filter parameters based on fuzzy logic control. The current active filter control is based on constant, fuzzy hysteresis band techniques, which are employed to derive the switching signals and also to choose the optimal value of the decoupling inductance. The DC voltage controller optimizes the energy storage of the DC capacitor, where ...

In recent years, the Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model has been commonly used for the approximation of nonlinear systems. Using the T-S fuzzy model, nonlinear systems can be converted into linear time-varying systems, which can reduce approximation errors compared with the conventional Taylor approximation. In this paper, we propose a new nonlinear filter with a finite impulse response (FIR) stru...

In this paper, we present equivalent characterizations of L-closure systems on lower bounded complete L-ordered sets and complete L-lattices, respectively. These results demonstrate the feasibility of notion of fuzzy closure system developed in our previous work (L.-K. Guo, G.-Q. Zhang, Q.-G. Li: Fuzzy closure systems on L-ordered sets. Math. Log. Quart. 57 (3) (2011), 281-291.). Also we develo...

We introduce and use the concept of (∈γ ,∈γ ∨qδ)-fuzzy (left, right, bi-) ideals to study the structural properties of a non-associative algebraic ordered structure. We characterize an intra-regular ordered AGgroupoid by these generalized fuzzy ideals. 2010 AMS Classification: 06F05, 20M12, 08A72

At the first, we revise the Kosinski’s definition of the sum of ordered fuzzy numbers. The associativity of revised sum is investigated here. In addition, we show that the multiple revised sum of finite sequence of trapezoidal ordered fuzzy numbers depends on its summands ordering. .AMS Classification: 03E72

In this paper we introduce a procedure, based on the Max-Min clustering method, that identiies a xed order of training pattern presentation for Fuzzy 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 Fuzzy ARTMAP exhibits a generalization p...
