This article presents a new learning methodology based on a hybrid algorithm for interval type-2 TSK fuzzy logic systems (FLS). Using input-output data pairs during the forward pass of the training process, the interval type-2 TSK FLS output is calculated and the consequent parameters are estimated by recursive least-squares (RLS) method. In the backward pass, the error propagates backward, and...

Planning resources for a supply chain is a major factor determining its success or failure. In this paper we build on previous work introducing an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic model of a multiple echelon supply chain. It is believed that the additional degree of uncertainty provided by Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic will allow for better representation of the uncertainty and vagueness present in re...

Here, an Indirect Adaptive Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control (AIT2FSMC) is introduced for a class of nonlinear systems. In order to approximate unknown nonlinear functions, interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2FLS) can be useful in presence of noisy data and external disturbances. Since, adjusting the interval type-2 fuzzy Membership Functions (MFs) to improve performance is a diffic...

Indoor localization in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is a challenging process. This paper proposes a new approach to solve the localization problematic. A fuzzy linguistic localization scheme is proposed. Based on interval type 2 fuzzy logic (IT2FL), a signal processing of the radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) minimizes the uncertainty in RSSI measurements from anchors caused by the indoo...

The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) and fuzzy decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (fuzzy DEMATEL) have been used to obtain weights for criteria and relationships among dimensions and criteria respectively. The twomethods could be integrated since it serves different purposes. Previous research suggested that the weights of criteria and the relationships among dimensions...

Defuzzification of type-2 fuzzy sets is a computationally intense problem. This paper proposes a new approach for defuzzification of interval type-2 fuzzy sets. The collapsing method converts an interval type-2 fuzzy set into a representative embedded set (RES) which, being a type-1 set, can then be defuzzified straightforwardly. The novel Representative Embedded Set Theorem (REST), with which ...

In this paper an Interval Type2 Fuzzy Logic (IT2FL) controller is proposed for the control of DC-DC converters to attain a good output voltage regulation and dynamic response. The buck and boost type DC-DC converters are considered for the implementation of the IT2FL controller. To study the effects on the system performance, the conventional PI and type-1 fuzzy controller are designed and comp...

Intelligent congestion control is vital in encoded video streaming of a clip or film, as network traffic volatility requires constant adjustment of the bit-rate. Equation-based solutions to congestion control are prone to fluctuations in the delivery rate and may respond only when packet loss has already occurred, while both fluctuations and packet loss affect the end-user’s perception of the d...
