Fuzzy relations are able to model vagueness, in the sense that they provide the degree to which two objects are related to each other. However, they cannot model uncertainty: there is no means to attribute reliability information to the membership degrees. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets, as de1ned by Atanassov (Instuitionistic Fuzzy Sets, Physica-Verlag, Heidelberg, New York, 1999), give us a way to...

abstract purpose of this paper: the objectives of this paper are two folds: (1) utilizing hierarchical fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (topsis) approach to evaluate the most suitable rfid-based systems decision, and (2) to highlight key risks and benefits of radio frequency identification technology in healthcare industry. design/methodology/approach: resear...

Abstract In this paper, a fuzzy PID with new structure is proposed to solve the load frequency control in interconnected power systems. in this study, a new structure and effective of the fuzzy PID-type Load frequency control (LFC) is proposed to solve the load frequency control in interconnected power systems. The main objective is to eliminate the deviations in the frequency of different area...

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. Many different methods have been proposed to deal with ranking fuzzy numbers. Constructing ranking indexes based on the centroid of fuzzy numbers is an important case. But some weaknesses are found in these indexes. The purpose of this paper is to give a new ranking index to rank vario...

Although fuzzy systems demonstrated their ability to solve different kinds of problems in various applications, there is an increasing interest on augmenting them with learning capabilities. Two of the most successful approaches to hybridise fuzzy systems with adaptation methods have been made in the realm of soft computing: neuro-fuzzy systems and genetic fuzzy systems hybridise the approximat...

In this paper we consider the problem of delay-dependent robustH1 control for uncertain fuzzy systems with time-varying delay. The Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is used to describe such systems. Time-delay isassumed to have lower and upper bounds. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskiifunctional method, a sufficient condition for the existence of a robust $H_{infty}$controller is obtained. The fuzz...

-This study addresses a fuzzy Lyapunov method for the stability analysis of time-delay fuzzy systems subject to external disturbances. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model and parallel distributed compensation (PDC) scheme are first employed to design a nonlinear fuzzy controller in order to stabilize the time-delay fuzzy systems. According to the controlled system, the H infinity criterion is d...

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...

in this paper we investigate common xed point theorems for contraction mapping in fuzzy metric space introduced by gregori and sapena [v. gregori, a. sapena, on xed-point the- orems in fuzzy metric spaces, fuzzy sets and systems, 125 (2002), 245-252].
