In this paper, a real-coded genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed capable of simultaneously optimizing the structure of a system (number of inputs, membership functions and rules) and tuning the parameters that de®ne the fuzzy system. A multideme GA system is used in which various fuzzy systems with di€erent numbers of input variables and with di€erent structures are jointly optimized. Communicati...

Fuzzy metagraph is an emerging technique used in the design of many information processing systems like transaction processing systems, decision support systems, and workflow systems. Very often, even a carefully chosen graph data structure could be improvised to provide more efficiency in terms of time complexity or space complexity or both. In this paper, a well-designed fuzzy metagraph is pr...

In a paper by Chang [D.Y. Chang, Applications of the extent analysis method on fuzzy AHP, European Journal of Operational Research 95 (1996) 649–655], an extent analysis method on fuzzy AHP was proposed to obtain a crisp priority vector from a triangular fuzzy comparison matrix. It is found that the extent analysis method cannot estimate the true weights from a fuzzy comparison matrix and has l...

A risk matrix is a mechanism to characterize and rank process risks that are typically identified through one or more multifunctional reviews (e.g., process hazard analysis, audits, or incident investigation). This paper describes a procedure for developing a fuzzy risk matrix that may be used for emerging fuzzy logic applications in different safety analyses (e.g., LOPA). The fuzzification of ...

In this paper, we propose a new dynamical fuzzy modeling technique for SISO complex systems. It is seen that, the whole state-space of a complex system is divided into subspaces and a linear time-invariant (LTI) model is then used tu approximate the complex system in each subspace. However, the global dynamical fuzzy model of the complex system is derived by aggregating all subsystem poles and ...

The goal of multi-dimensional fuzzy analysis consists in discovering different properties in multi-dimensional fuzzy distributions represented either extensionally (database) or intensionally (knowledge base). In this paper we show how this approach can be applied to such problems as decision making and knowledge discovery in databases. For uniform and efficient representation of fuzzy knowledg...

The problem of robust H∞ fuzzy state feedback and dynamic output feedback control for uncertain fuzzy descriptor systems is discussed. In the case that time-varying uncertainties are in all parameter matrices except E, sufficient conditions for the existence of fuzzy state feedback and dynamic output feedback robust H∞ controllers are given in terms of LMI. The fuzzy state feedback control law ...

Recently, a precise and stable machine learning algorithm, i.e. eigenvalue classification method (EigenClass), has been developed by using the concept of generalised eigenvalues in contrast to common approaches, such as k-nearest neighbours, support vector machines, decision trees. In this paper, we offer new algorithm called fuzzy parameterized soft aggregation classifier (FPFS-AC) combine mod...

Most decision-making and problem-solving tasks are too complex to be understood quantitatively. People perform such tasks using knowledge that is imprecise rather than precise. This study presents consistent fuzzy linguistic preference relations rather than fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to select computer integrated manufactory (CIM) systems. The proposed method yields decision matric...

In this paper, we prove a fuzzy Korovkin-type approximation theorem for fuzzy positive linear operators by using A-statistical convergence for four-dimensional summability matrices. Also we obtain rates of A-statistical convergence of a double sequence of fuzzy positive linear operators for fourdimensional summability matrices. 1. Introduction Anastassiou [3] …rst introduced the fuzzy analogue ...
