Planning resources for a supply chain is a major factor determining its success or failure. In this paper we introduce an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic model of a distribution network. It is believed that the additional degree of uncertainty provided by Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic will allow for better representation of the uncertainty and vagueness present in resource planning models. First, the...

Type-2 fuzzy sets are growing in popularity as, for certain applications they model uncertainty and imprecision better than type1 fuzzy sets. However, type-2 fuzzy sets can be difficult to understand and explain. Recent work has introduced embedded type-2 fuzzy sets and the Representation Theorem which enable us to discuss type-2 fuzzy sets in a different way. In particular they allow for alter...

This paper presents the development and design of a graphical user interface and a command line programming toolbox for construction, edition and observation of Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Inference Systems. The Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System Toolbox (IT2FLS), is an environment for interval type-2 fuzzy logic inference system development. Tools that cover the different phases of the fuzzy system ...

In this paper we give a complete description of an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system based on geometry. We compare our novel defuzzification technique with type-reduction.

anti-lock braking system (abs) is a nonlinear and time varying system including uncertainty, so it cannot be controlled by classic methods. intelligent methods such as fuzzy controller are used in this area extensively; however traditional fuzzy controller using simple type-1 fuzzy sets may not be robust enough to overcome uncertainties. for this reason an interval type-2 fuzzy controller is de...

The interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) which is an extension of the Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set is a powerful tool for modeling real life decision making problems. In this paper, we propose the emph{generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher generalized Shapley Choquet integral} (GIVIFHGSCI) and the emph{interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher general...

One-third of the people with an age over twenty have some signs of degenerated discs. However, in most of the patients the mere presence of degenerative discs is not a problem leading to pain, neurological compression, or other symptoms. This paper presents an interval type-2 fuzzy hybrid rule-based system to diagnose the abnormal degenerated discs where pain variables are represented by interv...

Type-2 fuzzy sets were introduced by Zadeh in 1975 in a series of papers. The basic idea is to generalize the notion of ordinary fuzzy sets (type-1), a¤ording wider applicability. This paper gives a general overview of some of the mathematical aspects of type-2 fuzzy set theory, emphasizing precisely how type-2 generalizes type-1 and interval-valued fuzzy set theory. We will summarize the theor...

Fuzzy Set Theory has been applied in many fields such as Operations Research, Control Theory, and Management Sciences etc. In particular, an application of this theory in Managerial Decision Making Problems has a remarkable significance. In this Paper, we consider a solution of Rectangular Fuzzy game with pay-off as imprecise numbers instead of crisp numbers viz., interval and LR-type Trapezoid...
