Traditional air quality assessment is realized using air quality indices which are determined as mean values of selected air pollutants. Thus, air quality assessment depends on strictly given limits without taking into account specific local conditions and synergic relations between air pollutants and other meteorological factors. The stated limitations can be eliminated, e.g. using systems bas...

In this paper, the upper bounds for a multivariable fuzzy logic controller under G/Sdel's implication are investigated and a generalized multivariable structure of fuzzy controller are proposed. Contribution operators, such as max (v) operation, ensure the greatest upper bound as well as the least upper bound. Conditions which determine an appropriate upper bound are also determined. This theor...

The aim of this article is to present a new approach to machine learning (precisely in classification problems) in which the use of fuzzy logic has been taken into account. We intend to show that fiazzy logic introduces new elements in the identification process, mainly due to the facility to manage imprecise information. An inductive algorithm generating a set of fuzzy rules identifying the sy...

The formal system L of fuzzy propositional logic has been successfully applied to the joint research of fuzzy logic and fuzzy reasoning. The current paper further studies the syntactic structure of the system L, presents several new results with respect to this system. Especially, a simplified system which contains only seven axioms is proposed, and the system is found to be equivalent to the o...

This paper is an attempt to cast both uncertainty and time in a logical framework. It generalizes possibilistic logic, previously developed by the authors, where each classical formula is associated with a weight which obeys the laws of possibility theory. In the possibilistic temporal logic we present here, each formula is associated with a time set (a fuzzy set in the more general case) which...

A nanorobot is defined as any smart structure which is capable of actuation, sensing, manipulation, intelligence, and swarm behavior at the nanoscale. In this study, we designed an intelligent system using fuzzy logic for diagnosis and treatment of tumors inside the human body using bionanorobots. We utilize fuzzy logic and a combination of thermal, magnetic, optical, and chemical nanosensors t...

in this paper we continue development of formal theory of a special class offuzzy logics, called eq-logics. unlike fuzzy logics being extensions of themtl-logic in which the basic connective is implication, the basic connective ineq-logics is equivalence. therefore, a new algebra of truth values calledeq-algebra was developed. this is a lower semilattice with top element endowed with two binary...

controller design remains an elusive and challenging problem foruncertain nonlinear dynamics. interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (it2fls) incomparison with type-1 fuzzy logic systems claim to effectively handle systemuncertainties especially in the presence of disturbances and noises, but lack aformal mechanism to guarantee performance. in contrast, adaptive sliding modecontrol (asmc) provides...
