This paper addresses the design of a fuzzy control system with a fuzzy controller and a fuzzy estimator for a fossil fuelled drum boiler-turbine-generator unit on the basis of a dynamic fuzzy model that was developed in our recently published paper. In the design procedure, a dynamics augmentation is introduced and a dynamic fuzzy augmented system is then determined for the nonlinear boiler-tur...

seismic hazard assessment like many other issues in seismology is a complicated problem, which is due to variety of parameters affecting the occurrence of earthquake. uncertainty, which is a result of vagueness and incompleteness of the data, should be considered in a rationale way. herein, fuzzy set theory is used to take into account the uncertainty existed in the seismic hazard analysis. the...

Fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic are a highly suitable and applicable basis for developing knowledge-based systems in medicine for tasks such as the interpretation of sets of medical findings, syndrome differentiation in Eastern medicine, diagnosis of diseases in Western medicine, mixed diagnosis of integrated Western and Eastern medicine, the optimal selection of medical treatments integrating...

In paper the fuzzy linear system d x C x A ~ ~ ~   where A and C are crisp matrices and n m  d~ is a LR fuzzy numbers vector, is investigated in detail. We generalize the definition and arithmetic operations of LR fuzzy numbers and convert the dual fuzzy linear system to two crisp systems of linear equations. Then the minimal fuzzy solution of the original fuzzy system is obtained by solving...

The growing availability of high-resolution satellite imagery provides an opportunity for identifying road objects. Most studies associated with road detection are scene-related and also based on the digital number of each pixel. Because images can provide more details (including color, size, shape, and texture), object-based processing is more advantageous. Therefore, in this paper, to handle ...

In this paper the theory of fuzzy logic is mixed with the theory of Markov systems and the abstraction of a Markov system with fuzzy states introduced. The notions such as fuzzy transient, fuzzy recurrent etc., were introduced. The results based on these notions are introduced.

In this paper, we establish the theory of fuzzy ideal convergence on completely distributive lattices and give characterizations of some topological notions. We also study fuzzy limit structures and discuss the relationship between fuzzy co-topologies and fuzzy limit structures.

Powerset structures of extensional fuzzy sets in sets with similarity relations are investigated. It is proved that extensional fuzzy sets have powerset structures which are powerset theories in the category of sets with similarity relations, and some of these powerset theories are defined also by algebraic theories (monads). Between Zadeh's fuzzy powerset theory and the classical powerset theo...

this paper presents an indirect adaptive system based on neuro-fuzzy approximators for the speed control of induction motors. the uncertainty including parametric variations, the external load disturbance and unmodeled dynamics is estimated and compensated by designing neuro-fuzzy systems. the contribution of this paper is presenting a stability analysis for neuro-fuzzy speed control of inducti...

Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...
