Fuzzy controllers with variable universe of discourse (VUD) have been applied in many fields of intelligent controlling because of their high-accuracy performance. This paper provides a lookup table method to design backing-up fuzzy controllers based on VUD. By setting a set of random start points, input–output data pairs are obtained using test-driving method. One data pair defines one fuzzy r...

Due to the complexities of objects and the vagueness of the human mind, it has attracted considerable attention from researchers studying fuzzy classification algorithms. In this paper, we propose a concept of fuzzy relative entropy to measure the divergence between two fuzzy sets. Applying fuzzy relative entropy, we prove the conclusion that patterns with high fuzziness are close to the classi...

In this paper, first the problems that might be faced by project managers during project management period presented. The main goal of our research is development of intelligent application that based on a fuzzy linear programming approach. Intelligent application should find the optimal scheduling of project activities. We take duration of the project activity as a fuzzy random variable, and t...

The concept of fuzzy random variable has been applied in several papers to model the present value of life insurance liabilities. It allows the fuzzy uncertainty of the interest rate and the probabilistic behaviour of mortality to be used throughout the valuation process without any loss of information. Using this framework, and considering a triangular interest rate, this paper develops closed...

In this paper, a decomposition theorem for a (square integrable) fuzzy random variable FRV is proposed. The paper is mainly divided in two parts. In the first part, for any FRV X, we define the Hukuhara set as the family of (deterministic) fuzzy sets C for which the Hukuhara difference X ⊖H C exists almost surely; in particular, we prove that such a family is a closed (with respect to different...

-In this work we present the methods of creating the knowledge bases by using the theory of fuzzy systems as well as the probability and stochastic processes theory. We show that such knowledge-based systems can be applied in different diagnostic tasks. The structure of the reason-result fuzzy model is predefined by experts at the beginning of the task. The notion of probability of fuzzy events...

Demand for a seasonal product persists for a fixed period of time. Normally the “finite time horizon inventory control problems” are formulated for this type of demands. In reality, it is difficult to predict the end of a season precisely. It is thus represented as an uncertain variable and known as random planning horizon. In this paper, we present a production-inventory model for deterioratin...
