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...

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...

This paper deals with center of sum defuzzification method via a computationally attractive method, called transformation function method. A technique for deriving the transformation functions for output fuzzy sets with trapezoidal membership functions has been introduced. It is shown that this method enormously reduces number of mathematical operations and amount of memory space required to co...

recently, gasimov and yenilmez proposed an approach for solving two kinds of fuzzy linear programming (flp) problems. through the approach, each flp problem is first defuzzified into an equivalent crisp problem which is non-linear and even non-convex. then, the crisp problem is solved by the use of the modified subgradient method. in this paper we will have another look at the earlier defuzzifi...

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...

in this paper, by means of fuzzy approaches, an accurate method is introduced for edging of color photographs. the difference between our method with other similar methods is the use of a morphological operation to think or thick the obtained edges. in this proposed method, a 3×3 window is dragged on the photo. for each block, 12 point sets will be defined, each including two non-overlapping po...
