A fuzzy logic controller with interval-valued inference mechanism is presented for the control of distributed parameter system (DPS). Interval-valued fuzzy set, a special case of type-2 fuzzy set, is innovatively designed to cope with the spatial information of distributed parameter systems. The proposed fuzzy logic controller is composed of six modules: fuzzifier, fuzzy composition, rules, inf...

Type-2 systems has been becoming the focus of research in the field of fuzzy logic in recent years. Comparing with type-1 systems, type-2 fuzzy systems are more complex and relatively more difficult to understand and implement. We developed an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) based toolbox, MFLS tool, for interval type-2 fuzzy logic system. This paper presents MFLS toolbox. Moreover, ...

In order to handle noisy measurement data, an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (T2FLS) is proposed. In this paper, the evolution of soft fault diagnosis for analog circuits is explored based on a type-2 fuzzy logic system (T2FLS) which can handle measurement uncertainties. In order to evaluate the values of the faulty components accurately, a type-2 fuzzy rule base is adopted to describe the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new general type-2 fuzzy logic method for edge detection applied to color format images. The proposed algorithm combines the methodology based on the image gradients and general type-2 fuzzy logic theory to provide a powerful edge detection method. General type-2 fuzzy inference systems are approximated using the α-planes approach. The edge detection method is te...

A method for designing optimal interval type-2 fuzzy logic controllers using evolutionary algorithms is presented in this paper. Interval type-2 fuzzy controllers can outperform conventional type-1 fuzzy controllers when the problem has a high degree of uncertainty. However, designing interval type-2 fuzzy controllers is more difficult because there are more parameters involved. In this paper, ...
