A defuzzification based new algorithm for the design of Mamdani-type fuzzy controllers

Jean Jamil Saade (2000)

Mathware and Soft Computing

This paper presents a new learning algorithm for the design of Mamdani- type or fully-linguistic fuzzy controllers based on available input-output data. It relies on the use of a previously introduced parametrized defuzzification strategy. The learning scheme is supported by an investigated property of the defuzzification method. In addition, the algorithm is tested by considering a typical non-linear function that has been adopted in a number of published research articles. The test stresses on...

A discussion on aggregation operators

Daniel Gómez, Montero, Javier (2004)

Kybernetika

It has been lately made very clear that aggregation processes can not be based upon a unique binary operator. Global aggregation operators have been therefore introduced as families of aggregation operators { T n } n , being each one of these T n the n -ary operator actually amalgamating information whenever the number of items to be aggregated is n . Of course, some mathematical restrictions can be introduced, in order to assure an appropriate meaning, consistency and key mathematical capabilities. In this...

A Distance-Based Method for Attribute Reduction in Incomplete Decision Systems

Demetrovics, Janos, Thi, Vu Duc, Giang, Nguyen Long (2013)

Serdica Journal of Computing

There are limitations in recent research undertaken on attribute reduction in incomplete decision systems. In this paper, we propose a distance-based method for attribute reduction in an incomplete decision system. In addition, we prove theoretically that our method is more effective than some other methods.

A dynamic model of classifier competence based on the local fuzzy confusion matrix and the random reference classifier

Pawel Trajdos, Marek Kurzynski (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Nowadays, multiclassifier systems (MCSs) are being widely applied in various machine learning problems and in many different domains. Over the last two decades, a variety of ensemble systems have been developed, but there is still room for improvement. This paper focuses on developing competence and interclass cross-competence measures which can be applied as a method for classifiers combination. The cross-competence measure allows an ensemble to harness pieces of information obtained from incompetent...

A family of hyperbolic-type control schemes for robot manipulators

Fernando Reyes-Cortes, Olga Felix-Beltran, Jaime Cid-Monjaraz, Gweni Alonso-Aruffo (2019)

Kybernetika

This paper deals with the global position control problem of robot manipulators in joint space, a new family of control schemes consisting of a suitable combination of hyperbolic functions is presented. The proposed control family includes a large class of bounded hyperbolic-type control schemes to drive both position error and derivative action terms plus gravity compensation. To ensure global asymptotic stability of closed-loop system equilibrium point, we propose an energy-shaping based strict...

A family of model predictive control algorithms with artificial neural networks

Maciej Ławryńczuk (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper details nonlinear Model-based Predictive Control (MPC) algorithms for MIMO processes modelled by means of neural networks of a feedforward structure. Two general MPC techniques are considered: the one with Nonlinear Optimisation (MPC-NO) and the one with Nonlinear Prediction and Linearisation (MPC-NPL). In the first case a nonlinear optimisation problem is solved in real time on-line. In order to reduce the computational burden, in the second case a neural model of the process is used...

A fuzzy system with ε-insensitive learning of premises and consequences of if-then rules

Jacek Łęski, Tomasz Czogała (2005)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

First, a fuzzy system based on ifFirst, a fuzzy system based on if-then rules and with parametric consequences is recalled. Then, it is shown that the globalthen rules and with parametric consequences is recalled. Then, it is shown that the global and local ε-insensitive learning of the above fuzzy system may be presented as a combination of both an ε-insensitive gradient method and solving a system of linear inequalities. Examples are given of using the introduced method to design fuzzy models...

A GA-P algorithm to automatically formulate extended Boolean queries for a fuzzy information retrieval system.

Oscar Cordón, Félix de Moya, Carmen Zarco (2000)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Although the fuzzy retrieval model constitutes a powerful extension of the Boolean one, being able to deal with the imprecision and subjectivity existing in the Information Retrieval process, users are not usually able to express their query requirements in the form of an extended Boolean query including weights. To solve this problem, different tools to assist the user in the query formulation have been proposed. In this paper, the genetic algorithm-programming technique is considered to build...

A general approach to decomposable bi-capacities

Susanne Saminger, Radko Mesiar (2003)

Kybernetika

We propose a concept of decomposable bi-capacities based on an analogous property of decomposable capacities, namely the valuation property. We will show that our approach extends the already existing concepts of decomposable bi-capacities. We briefly discuss additive and k -additive bi-capacities based on our definition of decomposability. Finally we provide examples of decomposable bi-capacities in our sense in order to show how they can be constructed.

A generalised proportional-derivative force/vision controller for torque-driven planar robotic manipulators

Carlos Vidrios-Serrano, Marco Mendoza, Isela Bonilla, Berenice Maldonado-Fregoso (2020)

Kybernetika

In this paper, a family of hybrid control algorithms is presented; where it is merged a free camera-calibration image-based control scheme and a direct force controller, both with the same priority level. The aim of this generalised hybrid controller is to regulate the robot-environment interaction into a two-dimensional task-space. The design of the proposed control structure takes into account most of the dynamic effects present in robot manipulators whose inputs are torque signals. As examples...

A generalization of the graph Laplacian with application to a distributed consensus algorithm

Guisheng Zhai (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In order to describe the interconnection among agents with multi-dimensional states, we generalize the notion of a graph Laplacian by extending the adjacency weights (or weighted interconnection coefficients) from scalars to matrices. More precisely, we use positive definite matrices to denote full multi-dimensional interconnections, while using nonnegative definite matrices to denote partial multi-dimensional interconnections. We prove that the generalized graph Laplacian inherits the spectral...

A genetic algorithm for the multistage control of a fuzzy system in a fuzzy environment.

Janusz Kacprzyk (1997)

Mathware and Soft Computing

We discuss a prescriptive approach to multistage optimal fuzzy control of a fuzzy system, given by a fuzzy state transition equation. Fuzzy constraints and fuzzy goals at consecutive control stages are given, and their confluence, Bellman and Zadeh's fuzzy decision, is an explicit performance function to be optimized. First, we briefly survey previous basic solution methods of dynamic programming (Baldwin and Pilsworth, 1982) and branch-and-bound (Kacprzyk, 1979), which are plagued by low numerical...

A graph-based estimator of the number of clusters

Gérard Biau, Benoît Cadre, Bruno Pelletier (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Assessing the number of clusters of a statistical population is one of the essential issues of unsupervised learning. Given n independent observations X1,...,Xn drawn from an unknown multivariate probability density f, we propose a new approach to estimate the number of connected components, or clusters, of the t-level set ( t ) = { x : f ( x ) t } . The basic idea is to form a rough skeleton of the set ( t ) using any preliminary estimator of f, and to count the number of connected components of the resulting graph. Under...

A graphical representation of relational formulae with complementation

Domenico Cantone, Andrea Formisano, Marianna Nicolosi Asmundo, Eugenio Giovanni Omodeo (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We study translations of dyadic first-order sentences into equalities between relational expressions. The proposed translation techniques (which work also in the converse direction) exploit a graphical representation of formulae in a hybrid of the two formalisms. A major enhancement relative to previous work is that we can cope with the relational complement construct and with the negation connective. Complementation is handled by adopting a Smullyan-like uniform notation to classify and decompose...
