The proposed method is founded upon a synergy of the Q-learning and fractional fuzzy inference systems (FFISs). Unlike other approaches, the Q-fractionalism reasoning not only incorporates the knowledge base to understand how to perform but also explores a reasoning mechanism from the fractional order to justify what it has performed. This method suggests that the agent choose actions aimed at the characterization of reasoning. In fact, the agent deals with states termed as primary and secondary fuzzy states. The primary fuzzy states are unobservable and uncertain, for which the agent chooses actions. However, the projection of primary fuzzy states onto the knowledge base results in secondary fuzzy states, which are observable by the agent, allowing it to detect primary fuzzy states with degrees of detectability. With a practical experiment implemented on a linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM), the results demonstrate that the application of the Q-fractionalism reasoning in the real-time position control of the LSRM leads to a remarkable improvement of about 70% in the accuracy of the control objective compared with a typical fuzzy inference system (FIS) under the same setting.

Some comparative examples show while some other approaches fail to obtain possible system solutions, the proposed approach is able and effective. Moreover, how the linear fuzzy differential equations system may arise in applications is explained and inverted pendulum system is given as an example. Through the example, it is also demonstrated how helpful this fuzzy linear model can be, compared to the crisp linear model.

The definition does not have the drawbacks of the previous definitions of fuzzy fractional derivatives. This definition does not necessitate that the diameter of the fuzzy function be monotonic, and it does not refer to derivative of order greater than the one that is considered. Moreover, the fractional derivative of a fuzzy constant is zero based on the definition. Restrictions associated to Caputo-type fuzzy fractional derivatives are expressed. Additionally, generalized Hukuhara difference and generalized difference of perfect type-2 fuzzy numbers are defined. Furthermore, using two examples the advantages of the new definition compared with the others are borne out.

The IT2FFISs, which are outlined in this article, add to the armamentarium of FISs some particular concepts such as interval type-2 fractional membership functions, type-2 fractional translation rule, type-2 fracture index, the concept of switching, the entanglement, the degeneracy concept, and so forth. An IT2FFIS exploits not only the tolerance for the uncertainty in the interpretation of the meaning of a word, but also the relevance between the quality and quantity levels of the given information to infer an answer to an inference query. The IT2FFISs make an increase in machine intelligence quotient possible by an increase in the range of FISs order rather than their type. Moreover, the synergy of the concepts coming with various modes of IT2FFISs such as the aggressive mode opens a gate to a space of fuzzy systems outputs which used to be indiscoverable. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that as the type-2 fracture index approaches zero, the space of IT2FFISs outputs contracts and eventually it coincides the space of IT2FISs output when the fracture index is equal to zero. It is also proved that, provided a particular order of the IT2FFIS is taken into account, independent of the problem in question, a typical IT2FIS never leads to results which are more satisfactory than those obtained by the IT2FFIS corresponding to the typical IT2FIS.

The aim is to keep the state variables of the fuzzy linear dynamical system close to zero in an optimal manner. In the fuzzy dynamical system, the fuzzy derivative is considered as the granular derivative; and all the coefficients and initial conditions can be uncertain. The criterion for assessing the optimality is regarded as a granular integral whose integrand is a quadratic function of the state variables and control inputs. Using the relative-distance-measure (RDM) fuzzy interval arithmetic and calculus of variations, the optimal control law is presented as the fuzzy state variables feedback. Since the optimal feedback gains are obtained as fuzzy functions, they need to be defuzzified. This will result in the sub-optimal control law. This paper also sheds light on the restrictions imposed by the approaches which are based on fuzzy standard interval arithmetic (FSIA), and use strongly generalized Hukuh...

Results related to comparison of fuzzy controller against classic controllers with aims of reduction of fuel consumption and environmental pollution are presented. Also, convention fuzzy controllers have been compared with optimized fuzzy controllers and some suggestions for doing other research works in this area have been offered.

Hu, A class of linear differential dynamical systems with fuzzy initial condition, Fuzzy Sets Syst. 158 (2007) 2339– 2358] fails to obtain the stable solutions to the stable linear dynamical systems with fuzzy initial conditions. It will be explained this shortcoming is caused by neglecting to move the stability property of the fuzzy system to the quasi level-wise system. Moreover, to handle this, another approach is proposed similar to the previous one for the stable and unstable systems.

The definition is based on type-2 Hukuhara difference which is defined in the paper as well. The related theorem of the differentiability of the type-2 fuzzy number-valued functions is derived. In addition, a parametric closed form of the perfect triangular quasi type-2 fuzzy numbers is introduced, and finally, the applicability and an approach to solving type-2 fuzzy differential equations are illustrated using some examples and cases.
