    Color Image Segmentation Using Soft Rough Fuzzy-C-Means and Local Binary Pattern

    R.V.V. Krishna1,*, S. Srinivas Kumar2

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.26, No.2, pp. 281-290, 2020, DOI:10.31209/2019.100000121

    Abstract In this paper, a color image segmentation algorithm is proposed by extracting both texture and color features and applying them to the one -against-all multi class support vector machine (MSVM) classifier for segmentation. Local Binary Pattern is used for extracting the textural features and L*a*b color model is used for obtaining the color features. The MSVM is trained using the samples obtained from a novel soft rough fuzzy c-means (SRFCM) clustering. The fuzzy set based membership functions capably handle the problem of overlapping clusters. The lower and upper approximation concepts of rough sets deal well with uncertainty, vagueness, and incompleteness… More >

    Z-Numbers and Type-2 Fuzzy Sets: A Representation Result

    R. A. Alieva,b, Vladik Kreinovichc

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.24, No.1, pp. 205-210, 2018, DOI:10.1080/10798587.2017.1330310

    Abstract Traditional [0; 1] based fuzzy sets were originally invented to describe expert knowledge expressed in terms of imprecise “fuzzy” words from the natural language. To make this description more adequate, several generalizations of the traditional [0; 1] based fuzzy sets have been proposed, among them type- 2 fuzzy sets and Z-numbers. The main objective of this paper is to study the relation between these two generalizations. As a result of this study, we show that if we apply data processing to Z-numbers, then we get type-2 sets of special type —that we call monotonic. We also prove that every monotonic… More >

    Zet Theory

    Mark J. Wierman

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.24, No.1, pp. 179-186, 2018, DOI:10.1080/10798587.2017.1327160

    Abstract The theory of Zets is presented and the standard techniques of set theory allows for the development of a rich algebra of Zets. It shows that Zets and fuzzy sets are essentially interchangeable. However, the fundamental manipulations, techniques, and definitions of Zets are simple and more amenable to analyze. For example, the extension principle is easy to define. More >

    Intuitionistic Fuzzy Petri Nets Model Based on Back Propagation Algorithm for Information Services

    Junhua Xi1, *, Kouquan Zheng1, Jianfeng Ma1, Jungang Yang1, Zhiyao Liang2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.63, No.2, pp. 605-619, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.06343

    Abstract Intuitionistic fuzzy Petri net is an important class of Petri nets, which can be used to model the knowledge base system based on intuitionistic fuzzy production rules. In order to solve the problem of poor self-learning ability of intuitionistic fuzzy systems, a new Petri net modeling method is proposed by introducing BP (Error Back Propagation) algorithm in neural networks. By judging whether the transition is ignited by continuous function, the intuitionistic fuzziness of classical BP algorithm is extended to the parameter learning and training, which makes Petri network have stronger generalization ability and adaptive function, and the reasoning result is… More >

    Solving Fully Fuzzy Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems of Damped Spring-Mass Structural Systems Using Novel Fuzzy-Affine Approach

    S. Rout1, S. Chakraverty1,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.121, No.3, pp. 947-980, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2019.08036

    Abstract The dynamic analysis of damped structural system by using finite element method leads to nonlinear eigenvalue problem (NEP) (particularly, quadratic eigenvalue problem). In general, the parameters of NEP are considered as exact values. But in actual practice because of different errors and incomplete information, the parameters may have uncertain or vague values and such uncertain values may be considered in terms of fuzzy numbers. This article proposes an efficient fuzzy-affine approach to solve fully fuzzy nonlinear eigenvalue problems (FNEPs) where involved parameters are fuzzy numbers viz. triangular and trapezoidal. Based on the parametric form, fuzzy numbers have been transformed into… More >

    A New Approach to a Fuzzy Time-Optimal Control Problem

    Ş. Emrah Amrahov1, N. A. Gasilov2, A. G. Fatullayev2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.99, No.5, pp. 351-369, 2014, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2014.099.351

    Abstract In this paper, we present a new approach to a time-optimal control problem with uncertainties. The dynamics of the controlled object, expressed by a linear system of differential equations, is assumed to be crisp, while the initial and final phase states are fuzzy sets. We interpret the problem as a set of crisp problems. We introduce a new notion of fuzzy optimal time and transform its calculation to two classical time-optimal control problems with initial and final sets. We examine the proposed approach on an example which is a problem of fuzzy control of mathematical pendulum. More >

    Application of Geometric Approach for Fuzzy Linear Systems to a Fuzzy Input-Output Analysis

    Nizami Gasilov1, Sahin Emrah Amrahov2 , Afet Golayoglu Fatullayev ˇ 1, Halil Ibrahim Karaka¸s1, Ömer Akın3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.88, No.2, pp. 93-106, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.088.093

    Abstract Uncertainties in some parameters of problems of Leontief input-output analysis lead naturally to fuzzy linear systems. In this work, we consider input-output model, where the technology matrix is crisp and the vector of final outputs is fuzzy. The model is expressed by a fuzzy linear system with crisp matrix and with fuzzy right-hand side vector. We apply a geometric method for solving the system. The method finds the solution in the form of a fuzzy set of vectors. The solution set is shown to be a parallelepiped in coordinate space and is expressed by an explicit formula. The features of… More >

    A New Approach to Non-Homogeneous Fuzzy Initial Value Problem

    N.A. Gasilov1, I.F. Hashimoglu2, S.E. Amrahov3, A.G. Fatullayev1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.85, No.4, pp. 367-378, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.085.367

    Abstract In this paper, we consider a high-order linear differential equation with fuzzy forcing function and with fuzzy initial values. We assume the forcing function be in a special form, which we call triangular fuzzy function. We present solution as a fuzzy set of real functions such that each real function satisfies the initial value problem by some membership degree. We propose a method to find the fuzzy solution. We present an example to illustrate applicability of the proposed method. More >

    An Efficient Response Surface Based Optimisation Method for Non-Deterministic Harmonic and Transient Dynamic Analysis

    M. De Munck1, D. Moens2, W. Desmet3, D.Vandepitte3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.47, No.2, pp. 119-166, 2009, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2009.047.119

    Abstract Deterministic simulation tools enable a very precise simulation of physical phenomena using numerical models. In many real life situations however, a deterministic analysis is not sufficient to assess the quality of a design. In a design stage, some physical properties of the model may not be determined yet. But even in a design ready for production, design tolerances and production inaccuracies introduce variability and uncertainty. In these cases, a non-deterministic analysis procedure is required, either using a probabilistic or a non-probabilistic approach. The authors developed an intelligent Kriging response surface based optimisation procedure that can be used in combination with… More >
