Abstract

The specific theories addressed in this book are concerned with fuzzy rule-based systems and fuzzy weighted averages, in which the fuzzy membership functions (MF) of the input, output and internal variables take interval values, reflecting imprecision in one's knowledge of the MF itself. This imprecision is routinely encountered in dealing with human perceptions of the meanings of descriptive words (e.g., small, long, fast, etc.) associated with such variables,where different individuals typically have different notions regarding the disposition of the degrees of membership in a particular fuzzy set. The familiar type-1 fuzzy set fails to capture this ambiguity in membership values, thus motivating the extensions described in this book.

IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy SystemsFuzzy logic = computing with words

3,187 Citations1996Lotfi A. Zadeh

The point of this note is that fuzzy logic plays a pivotal role in CW and vice-versa and, as an approximation, fuzzy logic may be equated to CW.

IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy SystemsInterval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems Made Simple

2,062 Citations2006Jerry M. Mendel, Robert John +1 more

This paper demonstrates that it is unnecessary to take the route from general T2 FS to IT2 FS, and that all of the results that are needed to implement an IT2 FLS can be obtained using T1 FS mathematics.

IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy SystemsToward General Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems Based on zSlices

393 Citations2010Christian Wagner, Hani Hagras

This paper has implemented a zSlices-based general type-2 FLS for a two-wheeled mobile robot, which operates in a real-world outdoor environment, and compared it against type-1 and interval type- 2 FLSs, which revealed a series of results related to the different levels of uncertainty handled by the different types of FLS.

IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy SystemsEncoding Words Into Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Sets Using an Interval Approach

351 Citations2008Feilong Liu, Jerry M. Mendel

The basic idea of the IA is to collect interval endpoint data for a word from a group of subjects, map each subject's data interval into a prespecified type-1 (T1) person membership function, interpret the latter as an embedded T1FS of an IT2 FS, and obtain a mathematical model for the footprint of uncertainty (FOU) for the word from these T1 FSs.

Fuzzy Sets and SystemsSubsethood, entropy, and cardinality for interval-valued fuzzy sets—An algebraic derivation

124 Citations2007Ioannis Vlachos, George D. Sergiadis

The entropy-subsethood and interval-valued fuzzy entropy theorems are stated and algebraically proved, and a relation with the cardinality of fuzzy sets (FSs) is also demonstrated.

IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy SystemsType-2 Fuzzy Sets as Functions on Spaces

108 Citations2010Janet Aisbett, John T. Rickard +1 more

This paper translates constructs associated with T2 fuzzy sets to the language of functions on spaces to encourage researchers in different disciplines to investigate T1 fuzzy sets, thereby potentially broadening their application and strengthening the underlying theory.
