Fuzzy control can be interpreted as an approximation technique for a control function based on typical, imprecisely speciied input{output tuples that are represented by fuzzy sets. The imprecision is characterized by similarity relations that are induced by transformations of the canonical distance function between real numbers. Taking this interpretation of fuzzy controllers into account, in o...

introduction drastic model is an index and overlapping model that has been designed for producing vulnerability scores for different points by combining several thematic layers. overlapping distinguished methods are themost applicable methods for evaluatingvulnerability of aquifers because they are cheap, they can directly reach a defined goal, the used data in the methods are accessible or can...

background and objectives: evaluating the performance of clinical units is critical for effective managementof health settings. certain assessment of clinical variables for performance analysis is not always possible,calling for use of uncertainty theory. this study aimed to develop and evaluate an integrated independentcomponent analysis-fuzzy-data envelopment analysis approach to accurate the...

Analytical analysis of the structure of fuzzy controllers is important as it provides insightful information and makes it possible to eliminate or reduce the trial-and-error effort in system design. Most results available in the literature only deal with the fuzzy controllers using up to three input variables (i.e. PI, PD, or PID type with the input space being three dimensional at most). In th...

The present study considers a fuzzy color system in which three input fuzzy sets are constructed on the tone triangle. This system can process a fuzzy input to a tone triangular system and output to a color on the RGB triangular system. Three input fuzzy sets (not black, white, and light) are applied to the tone triangle relationship. By treating three attributes of chromaticness, whiteness, an...

This paper addresses the structure and an associated learning algorithm of a feedforward multilayered connectionist network for realizing the basic elements and functions of a traditional fuzzy logic controller. The proposed fuzzy adaptive learning control network (FALCON) can be contrasted with the traditional fuzzy logic control systems in their network structure and learning ability. A struc...

The paper describes the usage of the fuzzy Mamdani analysis and Taguchi method to optimize the tourism satisfaction in Thailand. The fuzzy reasoning system is applied to pursue the relationships among the options of a tour company in order to be used in Taguchi experiments as the responses. In this research, tourism satisfaction is carried out using L18 Taguchi orthogonal arrays on parameters s...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical method to evaluate the performance of decision-making units (DMU). In the performance evaluation of an organization based on the classical theory of DEA, input and output data are assumed to be deterministic, while in the real world, the observed values of the inputs and outputs data are mainly fuzzy and random. A normal distribution is a contin...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a methodology for measuring the relative efficiencies of a set of decision making units (DMUs) that use multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. Crisp input and output data are fundamentally indispensable in conventional DEA. However, the observed values of the input and output data in real-world problems are sometimes imprecise or vague. Many researchers ...
