The aim of this study is to develop a methodology for selection of routing of different categories of intercity passenger trains taking into account of the uncertainty of the processes and using the fuzzy linear programming method. The fuzzy theory allows for the presentation of real data with uncertainty due to imprecise measurement. This research studies the fuzzy problems with fuzzy constrai...

The work described in this paper proposes a method for the measurement of similarity, viewed from the decision maker’s perspective. At first, an algorithm is presented that generalizes a discrete fuzzy set F, representing a model, given another discrete fuzzy set G representing new evidence. The algorithm proceeds by expressing the fuzzy sets as possibility distributions, and then by extending ...

The ability to locate addresses is one of the most important features in an urban geographic information system. Since Chinese geocoding problem cannot be handled by the European geocoding method, some Chinese scholars did special researches on Chinese geocoding. Current researches all focus on address standardizations and models, and pay less attention to the user input and result control. We ...

The hierarchical TOPSIS model used in this article is able to grasp the ambiguity exists in the utilized information and the fuzziness appears in the human judgments and preferences. The use of the hierarchical fuzzy TOPSIS methodology offers a number of benefits: (1) being a systematic model and straight forward one for working on; and (2) capable of capturing human's appraisal of ambiguity wh...

A Lookup‐Table (LUT) based design enhances the processing speed of a fuzzy obstacle avoidance controller by reducing the operation time. Also, a LUT sharing method provides efficient ways of reducing the LUT memory size. In order to share the LUT which is used for a fuzzy obstacle avoidance controller, an idea of using a basis function is developed. As applications of...

The objective of the paper is to develop a novel intelligent pitch control system of a 2MW wind turbine driven by variable-speed hydraulic pump-controlled system. For realizing the intelligent pitch controller, self-organizing fuzzy sliding mode control, which combines fuzzy sliding mode control and self-organizing modifier, is proposed. In order to verify the proposed concept experimentally, a...

Fuzzy set map comparison offers a novel approach to map comparison (Hagen 2003). The approach is specifically aimed at categorical raster maps and applies fuzzy set techniques, accounting for fuzziness of location and fuzziness of category, to create a similarity map as well as an overall similarity statistic: the Fuzzy Kappa. To date, the calculation of the Fuzzy Kappa (or K-fuzzy) has not bee...

Industrial heating furnace has a great deal of special characteristics such as big capacity, long lag and non-linear trait, etc. In order to control it better, we present a sort of fuzzy neural network temperature control model. It can transform the rulers of fuzzy logic control to a pair of input-output samples of multilayer forward neural network.The knowledge is not expressed by a serial of ...

We study SO(m) covariant Matrix realizations of ∑m i=1 X 2 i = 1 for even m as candidate fuzzy odd spheres following hep-th/0101001. As for the fuzzy four sphere, these Matrix algebras contain more degrees of freedom than the sphere itself and the full set of variables has a geometrical description in terms of a higher dimensional coset. The fuzzy S is related to a higher dimensional coset SO(2...

This paper introduces a singular value-based method for reducing a given fuzzy rule set. The method conducts singular value decomposition of the rule consequents and generates certain linear combinations of the original membership functions to form new ones for the reduced set. The present work characterizes membership functions by the conditions of sum normalization (SN), nonnegativeness (NN),...
