In this study, the roll, yaw and depth fuzzy control of an Au- tonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) are addressed. Yaw and roll angles are regulated only using their errors and rates, but due to the complexity of depth dynamic channel, additional pitch rate quantity is used to improve the depth loop performance. The discussed AUV has four aps at the rear of the vehicle as actuators. Two rule bases...

soil and land information is vital for land use planning and infrastructure development. maps of soils landscapes are powerful tools to guide sustainable planning and natural resource management. fuzzy set theory has been widely used in soil science for soil classification and mapping, land evaluation, fuzzy soil geostatistics, soil quality indices. in fuzzy logic-based approaches, soil spatial...

The objective of this chapter is to provide a semantic framework for fuzzy sets in the theory of rough sets. Rough membership functions are viewed as a special type of fuzzy membership functions interpretable using conditional probabilities. The relationships between fuzzy membership functions and rough membership functions, between core and support of fuzzy set theory and lower and upper appro...

In this study, the aim is to propose a new method for fuzzification of nested dummy variables. The fuzzification idea of dummy variables has been acquired from non-linear part of regime switching models in econometrics. In these models, the concept of transfer functions is like the notion of fuzzy membership functions, but no principle or linguistic sentence have been used for inputs. Consequen...

The Transactions in web data often consist of quantitative data, suggesting that fuzzy set theory can be used to represent such data. The time spent by users on each web page is one type of web data, was regarded as a trapezoidal membership function (TMF) and can be used to evaluate user browsing behavior. The quality of mining fuzzy association rules depends on membership functions and since t...

we study the problem of reconstructing binary images from four projections data in a fuzzy environment. given the uncertainly projections,w e want to find a binary image that respects as best as possible these projections. we provide an iterative algorithm based on fuzzy integer programming and linear membership functions.

This paper generalizes the concept of rough membership functions in pattern classi$cation tasks to rough–fuzzy membership functions and rough–fuzzy ownership functions. Unlike the rough membership value of a pattern, which is sensitive only towards the rough uncertainty associated with the pattern, the rough–fuzzy membership (or ownership) value of the pattern signi$es the rough uncertainty as ...

The elicitation method of the fuzzy membership function depends on the interpretation of the membership function. This paper applies a recently developed neural network framework, Plausible Neural Network (PNN), to generate fuzzy membership functions automatically with or without class labeling based on the similarity and likelihood measurement. The approach combining supervised and unsupervise...
