This study considers the robust identification of the parameters describing a Sugeno type fuzzy inference system with uncertain data. The objective is to minimize the worst-case residual error using a numerically efficient algorithm. The Sugeno type fuzzy systems are linear in consequent parameters but nonlinear in antecedent parameters. The robust consequent parameters identification problem can be formulated as second-order cone programming problem. The optimal solution of this second-order cone problem can be interpreted as solution of a Tikhonov regularization problem with a special choice of regularization parameter which is optimal for robustness (Ghaoui and Lebret (1997). SAIM Journal of Matrix Analysis and Applications 18, 1035–1064). The final regularized nonlinear optimization problem allowing simultaneous identification of antecedent and consequent parameters is solved iteratively using a generalized Gauss–Newton like method. To illustrate the approach, several simulation studies on numerical examples including the modelling of a spectral data function (one-dimensional benchmark example) is provided. The proposed robust fuzzy identification scheme has been applied to approximate the physical fitness of patients with a fuzzy expert system. The identified fuzzy expert system is shown to be capable of capturing the decisions (experiences) of a medical expert.

This study presents a method of adaptive identification of parameters describing Sugeno fuzzy inference system in presence of bounded disturbances while maintaining the readability and interpretability of the fuzzy model during and after identification. This method do not require any a priori knowledge of a bound on the disturbance and noise and of a bound on the unknown parameters values. The method can be used for the robust and adaptive identification of slowly time varying nonlinear systems using fuzzy inference systems. The suggested method was used to build a fuzzy expert system that approximates the functional relationship between physical fitness and some of the measurable physiological parameters by their real measurements and opinion (human-experiences) of a medical expert.

Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS), considered to be one of the most useful rock properties for mining and civil engineering applications, has been estimated from some index test results by fuzzy and multiple regression modelling. Laboratory investigations including Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS), Point Load Index test (PL), Schmidt Hammer Hardness test (SHR) and Sonic velocity (Vp) test have been carried out on nine different rock types yielding to 305 tested specimens in total. Average values along with the standard deviations (Stdev) as well as Coefficients of variation (CoV) have been calculated for each rock type. Having constructed the Mamdani Fuzzy algorithm, UCS of intact rock samples was then predicted using a data driven fuzzy model. The predicted values derived from fuzzy model were compared with multi-linear statistical model. Comparison proved that the best model predictions have been achieved by fuzzy modelling in contrast to multi-linear statistical modelling. As a result, the developed fuzzy model based on point load, Schmidt hammer and sonic velocity can be used as a tool to predict UCS of intact rocks.

Supply chain networking decisions are very important for the medium- and long-term planning success of manufacturing companies. The inputs to supply chain planning models are subject to environmental and system uncertainties. In this paper, a fuzzy set theory-based model is proposed to deal with those uncertainties. For this purpose, a possibilistic linear programming (PLP) model is used to make strategic

We use for the first time fuzzy mathematics to aid in the determination of which tests of preschool, hard of hearing and deaf children are the best predictors of success when these students are mainstreamed in the public school system. The techniques are those of group decision making and consensus under fuzzy preferences and fuzzy majority and techniques of fuzzy outranking relations in preference modelling.

This research applies the fuzzy set theory via Geographical Information Systems (GIS) – based analysis, in order to model slope erosion by runoff. For this purpose, the following steps were accomplished: definition of input variables (rocks’ susceptibility to erosion, slope inclination, slope morphology), development of a fuzzy inference system based on theoretical and empirical knowledge, transformation of input to output variables (erosion – deposition) and visualization of the output variables (spatial distribution of erosion–deposition processes). The method was applied on the drainage basin of Corinth, located in the north–eastern part of Peloponnese (Greece), where a series of catastrophic erosional events have recently occurred.

This study aims at improving the characterisation and quantification of vegetative drought as a vague spatial phenomenon. 10-day NOAA-AVHRR NDVI images of East Africa from September 2005 to April 2006 are used. Vegetative drought is characterised using a membership function to model the gradual transition between drought and non-drought classes. Measures are implemented to quantify the areas and vagueness of

Linguistic equations are useful for taking into account non-linearity especially in multivariable application systems. The main benefit is better and more accurate decision-making due to the model-based approach and systematic knowledge management. Insight to the process dynamic operation is the most important issue. Automatic generation of systems, model-based techniques and adaptation techniques are very valuable in developing and tuning the

This study considers the problem of Robust Fuzzy approximation of a time-varying nonlinear process in the presence of uncertainties in the identification data using a Sugeno Fuzzy System while maintaining the interpretability of the fuzzy model during identification. A recursive procedure for the estimation of fuzzy parameters is proposed based on solving local optimization problem that attempt to minimize the worst-case effect of data uncertainties on approximation performance. To illustrate the approach, several simulation studies on numerical examples are provided. The developed scheme was applied to handle the vagueness, ambiguity and uncertainty inherently present in the general notion of a Medical Expert about Physical Fitness based on a set of various Physiological parameters measurements.

The technique of the direct and inverse fuzzy (F-)transforms of three different types is introduced and approximating properties of the inverse F-transforms are described. A method of lossy image compression and reconstruction on the basis of the F-transform is presented. In classical mathematics, various kinds of transforms (Fourier, Laplace, integral, wavelet) are used as powerful methods for construction of approximation
