• ### Grouping, Overlap, and Generalized Bientropic Functions for Fuzzy Modeling of Pairwise Comparisons

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):405 - 415
Cited by:  Papers (61)
| | PDF (445 KB) | HTML

In this paper, we propose new aggregation functions for the pairwise comparison of alternatives in fuzzy preference modeling. More specifically, we introduce the concept of a grouping function, i.e., a specific type of aggregation function that combines two degrees of support (weak preference) into a degree of information or, say, a degree of comparability between two alternatives, and we relate t...

| | PDF (1420 KB) | HTML

This paper presents the analytical structure of a class of interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy proportional derivative (PD) and proportional integral (PI) controllers that have symmetrical rule base and symmetrical consequent sets. Two assumptions are made: 1) The Zadeh AND operator is employed as the t-norm operator; 2) type-reduction is performed by the Karnik-Mendel (KM) type-reduction method. The main...

This paper is concerned with the problem of delay-dependent H∞ filter design for a class of discrete-time nonlinear interconnected system with time-varying delays via the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. The T-S fuzzy model consists of N time-delay T-S fuzzy subsystems, and a decentralized H∞ filter is designed for each subsystem. Based on the delay-depen... View full abstract»

• ### Collaborative Fuzzy Clustering Algorithms: Some Refinements and Design Guidelines

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):444 - 462
Cited by:  Papers (44)
| | PDF (1584 KB) | HTML

There are some variants of the widely used Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm that support clustering data distributed across different sites. Those methods have been studied under different names, like collaborative and parallel fuzzy clustering. In this study, we offer some augmentation of the two FCM-based clustering algorithms used to cluster distributed data by arriving at some constructive ways o... View full abstract»

• ### Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Network With an Accelerated Hybrid Learning Algorithm

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):463 - 470
Cited by:  Papers (47)
| | PDF (479 KB) | HTML

An accelerated hybrid learning algorithm is proposed for the training of fuzzy wavelet neural networks (FWNNs). The algorithm gives the initial parameters by the clustering algorithm and then updates them with a combination of backpropagation and recursive least-squares methods. The parameters are updated in the direction of steepest descent but with a local adaptive learning rate that is differen... View full abstract»

• ### Adaptive Control Schemes for Discrete-Time T–S Fuzzy Systems With Unknown Parameters and Actuator Failures

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):471 - 486
Cited by:  Papers (23)
| | PDF (870 KB) | HTML

This paper develops a new solution framework for adaptive output feedback fuzzy control systems aimed at effectively dealing with nonlinear systems with multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) delays and in the presence of dynamics and actuator failure uncertainties. Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems are employed to represent nonlinear systems, which have desired capacity for dynamic system approxim... View full abstract»

• ### Aggregation for Atanassov’s Intuitionistic and Interval Valued Fuzzy Sets: The Median Operator

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):487 - 498
Cited by:  Papers (35)
| | PDF (494 KB) | HTML

Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets (AIFS) and interval valued fuzzy sets (IVFS) are two generalizations of a fuzzy set, which are equivalent mathematically although different semantically. We analyze the median aggregation operator for AIFS and IVFS. Different mathematical theories have lead to different definitions of the median operator. We look at the median from various perspectives: as an ... View full abstract»

• ### Enhanced Interval Approach for Encoding Words Into Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Sets and Its Convergence Analysis

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):499 - 513
Cited by:  Papers (71)
| | PDF (1135 KB) | HTML

Construction of interval type-2 fuzzy set models is the first step in the perceptual computer, which is an implementation of computing with words. The interval approach (IA) has, so far, been the only systematic method to construct such models from data intervals that are collected from a survey. However, as pointed out in this paper, it has some limitations, and its performance can be further imp... View full abstract»

• ### Intuitionistic Fuzzy Multiattribute Decision Making: An Interactive Method

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):514 - 525
Cited by:  Papers (41)
| | PDF (338 KB) | HTML

We investigate multiattribute decision-making problems, where the attribute values are intuitionistic fuzzy values, and the weight information on attributes cannot be known completely. We first define the concepts of the overall attribute ideal solution and the overall attribute negative ideal solution of alternatives. Based on these two solutions, we define the satisfaction degree of each alterna... View full abstract»

• ### Entailment Principle for Measure-Based Uncertainty

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):526 - 535
Cited by:  Papers (7)
| | PDF (311 KB) | HTML

We describe the use of monotonic set measures, which are sometimes referred to as fuzzy measures, in the representation of uncertain information about a variable. The representation of significant types of uncertain information, such as probabilistic, possibilistic, and others, is discussed. The concept of the dual of a measure is introduced and is used to define the measures of opportunity and as... View full abstract»

• ### Learning Error Feedback Design of Direct Adaptive Fuzzy Control Systems

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):536 - 545
Cited by:  Papers (22)
| | PDF (1455 KB) | HTML

In the paper, based on the finite L2-gain property, a way of estimating learning errors for direct adaptive fuzzy control systems is proposed, and then, a novel adaptive law with this estimated learning error is further proposed to improve the learning performance of the system in the sense of Lyapunov. In the literature, there is no direct way of estimating learning errors for d... View full abstract»

• ### Comparing Fuzzy Partitions: A Generalization of the Rand Index and Related Measures

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):546 - 556
Cited by:  Papers (39)
| | PDF (488 KB) | HTML

In this paper, we introduce a fuzzy extension of a class of measures to compare clustering structures, namely, measures that are based on the number of concordant and the number of discordant pairs of data points. This class includes the well-known Rand index but also commonly used alternatives, such as the Jaccard measure. In contrast with previous proposals, our extension exhibits desirable metr...

• ### A Generalization of Distance Functions for Fuzzy $c$ -Means Clustering With Centroids of Arithmetic Means

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):557 - 571
Cited by:  Papers (30)
| | PDF (866 KB) | HTML

Fuzzy c-means (FCM) is a widely used fuzzy clustering method, which allows an object to belong to two or more clusters with a membership grade between zero and one. Despite the considerable efforts made by the clustering community, the common characteristics of distance functions suitable for FCM remain unclear. To fill this crucial void, in this paper, we first provide a generalized defini... View full abstract»

• ### Fuzzy Adaptive Tracking Control of Wheeled Mobile Robots With State-Dependent Kinematic and Dynamic Disturbances

Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):587 - 593
Cited by:  Papers (41)
| | PDF (287 KB) | HTML

Unlike most works based on pure nonholonomic constraint, this paper proposes a fuzzy adaptive tracking control method for wheeled mobile robots, where unknown slippage occurs and violates the nonholononomic constraint in the form of state-dependent kinematic and dynamic disturbances. These disturbances degrade tracking performance significantly and, therefore, should be compensated. To this end, t... View full abstract»

This paper is concerned with nonquadratic stabilization design problem for continuous-time nonlinear models in the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) form obtained by sector nonlinearity approach. Most of the previous results found in the literature intended to establish global nonquadratic stabilization conditions which are hard to uphold due to the difficulty of handling time derivatives of the membership func...
