Abstract Differential Evolution (DE) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) are population based search algorithms that come under the category of evolutionary optimization techniques. In the present study, these evolutionary methods have been utilized to conduct the optimum design of a fuzzy controll...

In designing a fuzzy model to a complex system, we encounter a major difficulty in the identification of an optimised fuzzy rule base, which is traditionally achieved by a tedious trial and error process. This paper has proposed a novel hybrid algorithm EPLSE to design fuzzy rule bases automatically, which is based on the combination of EP (Evolutionary Programming) and LSE (Least Squares Estim...

Abstract: This paper proposes a hybrid evolutionary functional link and interval type-2 fuzzy neural system (EFLIT2FNS) to predict the currency exchange rate data for six different time horizons starting from one day to one year. The antecedent part of each fuzzy rule of EFLIT2FNS model is an interval type-2 fuzzy set and the fuzzy rules are of the Takagi-Sugano-Kang (TSK) and the consequent pa...

In this paper, two different hybrid intelligent systems are applied to develop practical soft identifiers for modeling the tool-tissue force as well as the resulted maximum local stress in laparoscopic surgery. To conduct the system identification process, a 2D model of an in vivo porcine liver was built for different probing tasks. Based on the simulation, three different geometric features, i...

Bio-inspired algorithms like Genetic Algorithms and Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) are nowadays widely adopted as hybrid techniques in commercial and industrial environment. In this paper we present an interesting application of the fuzzy-GA paradigm to Smart Grids. The main aim consists in performing decision making for power flow management tasks in the proposed microgrid model equipped by ren...

following the idea of $l$-fuzzy neighborhood system as introduced byfu-gui shi, and its generalization to $(l,m)$-fuzzy neighborhood system, the relationship between  $(l,m)$-fuzzy topology and $(l,m)$-fuzzy neighborhood system will be further studied. as an application of the obtained results, we will describe the initial structures of $(l,m)$-fuzzy neighborhood subspaces and $(l,m)$-fuzzy top...

Many decisions need to be made based on imprecise or incomplete initial information. In such cases, decision makers are generally more interested in some sets of the most promising solutions rather than the best single solution. Therefore, in contrast to conventional optimisation approaches that aim to find exact optimal points, we aim to find optimal ranges with variable satisfaction degrees. ...

in this paper, we investigate the general fuzzy linear system of equations.  the  main aim of this paper is based on the embedding approach. we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of fuzzy solution of the mentioned systems.  finally, numerical examples are presented to more illustration of the proposed model.

In this paper, we introduce the evolutionary design methodology of fuzzy inference systems by means of fuzzy partition of input space. The rules of the proposed fuzzy model are realized with the aid of the fuzzy partition of input space generated by fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm. The number of the partition of input space is equal to the number of clusters. And the individual partitioned s...

This article presents a novel fuzzy identification method for dynamic modelling of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles. The method is based on a special parameterization of the antecedent part of fuzzy systems that results in fuzzy-partitions for antecedents. This antecedent parameter representation method of fuzzy rules ensures upholding of predefined linguistic value ordering and ensures that ...
