the main purpose of this paper is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (fmadm) model for appropriate location selection of a health center. therefore, we identify sixteen criteria and sub-criteria for selecting a health center location. these criteria and sub-criteria have been obtained from literature reviews and practical interviews. this paper proposes a method which combines th...

a central aim of educational research in the area of mathematical modeling and applications is to recognize the attainment level of students at defined states of the modeling process. in this paper, we introduce principles of fuzzy sets theory and possibility theory to describe the process of mathematical modeling in the classroom. the main stages of the modeling process are represented as fuzz...

In this paper, we present some efficient numerical algorithm for solving system of fuzzy polynomial equations based on Newton's method. The modified Adomian decomposition method is applied to construct the numerical algorithms. Some numerical illustrations are given to show the efficiency of algorithms.

This text provides an introduction to the use of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic for the approximation of functions and modeling of static and dynamic systems. The concept of a fuzzy system is first explained. Afterwards, the motivation and practical relevance of fuzzy modeling are highlighted. Two types of rule-based fuzzy models are described: the linguistic (Mamdani) model and the Takagi–Sugeno m...

in this paper a numerical method for solving forth order fuzzy dierentialequations under generalized differentiability is proposed. this method is basedon the interpolating a solution by piecewise polynomial of degree 8 in the rangeof solution . we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions. finally anumerical example is presented to illustrate the accuracy of the new technique.

In this paper, we will consider the application of notions and techniques from fuzzy logic, fault trees, and Markov modeling to robot fault tolerance. Fuzzy logic lends itself to quantitative reliability calculations in robotics. The crisp failure rates which are usually used are not actually known, while fuzzy logic, due to its ability to work with the actual approximate (fuzzy) failure rates ...

Fuzzy information granulation transfers the time series analysis from numerical platform to granular platform, which enables us study at a different granularity. In previous studies, each fuzzy granule in can reflect average, range, and linear trend characteristics of data corresponding window. order get more general granule, this paper proposes polynomial granules, both nonlinear The distance ...

The purpose of this paper is to study the description of power system QV curves by using the method of fuzzy modeling for analysis of voltage stability. Voltage instability of power system comes from increasing load rapidly, and causes bus voltage to drop. When voltage is out of control and it can be voltage collapse. The QV curve can identify voltage stability limit, and it determine robustnes...

Fuzzy sets and logic have been largely used for the treatment of the uncertainty, vagueness and ambiguity found in the modeling of real problems. However, there may exist also the case when there is uncertainty related to the membership functions to be used in the modeling of fuzzy sets and fuzzy numbers, as there are many ways to define the shape of this kind of number. Thus, one can use, for ...
