Type-2 fuzzy sets made simple

TLDR
Establishing a small set of terms that let us easily communicate about type-2 fuzzy sets and also let us define such sets very precisely, and presenting a new representation for type- 2 fuzzy sets, and using this new representation to derive formulas for union, intersection and complement of type-1 fuzzy sets without having to use the Extension Principle.
Abstract
Type-2 fuzzy sets let us model and minimize the effects of uncertainties in rule-base fuzzy logic systems. However, they are difficult to understand for a variety of reasons which we enunciate. In this paper, we strive to overcome the difficulties by: (1) establishing a small set of terms that let us easily communicate about type-2 fuzzy sets and also let us define such sets very precisely, (2) presenting a new representation for type-2 fuzzy sets, and (3) using this new representation to derive formulas for union, intersection and complement of type-2 fuzzy sets without having to use the Extension Principle.

Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems Made Simple

TL;DR: 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.

A hierarchical type-2 fuzzy logic control architecture for autonomous mobile robots

TL;DR: A novel reactive control architecture for autonomous mobile robots that is based ontype-2 FLC to implement the basic navigation behaviors and the coordination between these behaviors to produce a type-2 hierarchical FLC is presented.

Pythagorean Membership Grades, Complex Numbers, and Decision Making

TL;DR: It is shown that Pythagorean membership grades are a subclass of complex numbers called Π‐i numbers, and the use of the geometric mean and ordered weighted geometric operator for aggregating criteria satisfaction is looked at.

Type-2 fuzzy sets and systems: an overview

TL;DR: This paper provides an introduction to and an overview of type-2 fuzzy sets (T2 FS) and systems by answering the following questions: What is a T2 FS and how is it different from a T1 FS.

Operations on fuzzy numbers

TL;DR: The usual algebraic operations on real numbers are extended to fuzzy numbers by the use of a fuzzification principle, and the practical use of fuzzified operations is shown to be easy, requiring no more computation than when dealing with error intervals in classic tolerance analysis.

Interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems: theory and design

TL;DR: An efficient and simplified method to compute the input and antecedent operations for interval type-2 FLSs: one that is based on a general inference formula for them is proposed.
