This paper proposes a framework of robust technical trading with fuzzy knowledge-based systems (KBSs). Particularly, our framework consists of two modules, i.e., (i) a module for preparing candidate investment proposals and (ii) a module for their evaluation to construct a well-performed portfolio. Moreover, our framework effectively utilizes fuzzy KBSs for representation of human expert knowle...

The emerging of the e-Commerce provides more and more businesses opportunities to vendors and manufacturers. However, the expeditious evolution of e-Commerce has also caused challenging security issues. To protect vendors and consumers from being victimized, various trust models have been used in e-Commerce practices. Nevertheless, a strict verification and authentication process may pose unnec...

This paper presents the modeling of a photovoltaic (PV) module at varying atmospheric conditions such as irradiation and temperature. It also includes the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the PV module using conventional perturb and observe (P&O) method and fuzzy logic controller. For the performance analysis, the simulation of the PV module along with MPPT controller is done by using MAT...

and Applied Analysis 3 Conversely, if the pair of functions α and β satisfy the conditions 1 – 4 , then there exists a unique u ∈ E1 such that u λ α− λ , β λ for each λ ∈ 0, 1 , 9 . The fuzzy number u corresponding to the pair of functions α and β is defined by u : R → 0, 1 , u x sup{λ : α x ≤ λ ≤ β x }, 5 . A sequence u uk of fuzzy numbers is a function u from the set N, the set of all positiv...

This paper proposes an observer-based indirect adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller with state variable filters for a certain class of unknown nonlinear dynamic systems in which not all the states are available for measurement. To design the proposed controller, we first construct the fuzzy models to describe the input/output behavior of the nonlinear dynamic system.Then, an observer is emplo...

For a coherent filtered D-module we show that the dual of each graded piece over the structure sheaf is isomorphic to a certain graded piece of the ring-theoretic local cohomology complex of the graded quotient of the dual of the filtered D-module along the zero-section of the cotangent bundle. This follows from a similar assertion for coherent graded modules over a polynomial algebra over the ...

A novel paradigm for adaptation in discrete event dynamic systems control is presented. The general idea is then applied, through simulations, to an inventory system. A fuzzy adaptation module is built from few optimal examples generated using a genetic algorithm. The fuzzy module is then capable of adapting the inventory policy achieving much better results than a static policy.
