  Encyclopedia article: Fuzzy control system   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Fuzzy logic (A form of mathematical logic in which truth can assume a continuum of values between 0 and 1) is a way of interfacing inherently analog processes, that move through a continuous range of values, to a digital computer to perform tasks, based on abstracted values, as if they were well-defined discrete numeric values.
Interest in fuzzy systems was sparked by Seiji Yasunobu and Soji Miyamoto of Hitachi, who in 1985 provided simulations that demonstrated the superiority of fuzzy control systems for the Sendai railway.
Their ideas were adopted, and fuzzy systems were used to control accelerating, braking, and stopping when the line opened in 1987.

 Fuzzy control system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fuzzy logic is a way of interfacing inherently analog processes, that move through a continuous range of values, to a digital computer to perform tasks, based on abstracted values, as if they were well-defined discrete numeric values.
Fuzzy logic was first proposed by Lotfi A. Zadeh of the University of California at Berkeley in a 1965 paper.
Fuzzy systems were largely ignored in the U.S. because they were associated with artificial intelligence, a field that periodically oversells itself and which did so in a big way in the mid-1980s, resulting in a lack of credibility within the commercial domain.

 Fuzzy logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fuzzy logic allows for set membership values between and including 0 and 1, shades of gray as well as fl and white, and in its linguistic form, imprecise concepts like "slightly", "quite" and "very".
Fuzzy logic is controversial despite wide acceptance: it is rejected by some control engineers for validation and other reasons, and by some statisticians who hold that probability is the only rigorous mathematical description of uncertainty.
Fuzzy logic can be used to control household appliances such as washing machines (which sense load size and detergent concentration and adjust their wash cycles accordingly) and refrigerators.

 Fuzzy Expert System for Navigation Control
Fuzzy logic technology is one of the AI (Artificial Intelligence) techniques first developed by Lotfi Zadeh in 1965.

 FAQ: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Expert Systems 1/1 [Monthly posting] - [4] What is a fuzzy expert system?
In SUM composition, the combined output fuzzy subset is constructed by taking the pointwise sum over all of the fuzzy subsets assigned to the output variable by the inference rule.
In the composition subprocess, all of the fuzzy subsets assigned to each output variable are combined together to form a single fuzzy subset for each output variable.
In MAX composition, the combined output fuzzy subset is constructed by taking the pointwise maximum over all of the fuzzy subsets assigned to the output variable by the inference rule.

 Fuzzy Logic
Saying “yes” (which is the mainstream of fuzzy logic) one accepts the truth-functional approach; this makes fuzzy logic to something distinctly different from probability theory since the latter is not truth-functional (the probability of conjunction of two propositions is not determined by the probabilities of those propositions).
Fuzzy logic in the narrow sense is symbolic logic with a comparative notion of truth developed fully in the spirit of classical logic (syntax, semantics, axiomatization, truth-preserving deduction, completeness, etc.; both propositional and predicate logic).
This fuzzy logic is a relatively young discipline, both serving as a foundation for the fuzzy logic in a broad sense and of independent logical interest, since it turns out that strictly logical investigation of this kind of logical calculi can go rather far.

 FAQ: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Expert Systems 1/1 [Monthly posting]
Fuzzy Subsets: Just as there is a strong relationship between Boolean logic and the concept of a subset, there is a similar strong relationship between fuzzy logic and fuzzy subset theory.
Fuzzy control replaces, in the picture above, the role of the mathematical model and replaces it with another that is build from a number of smaller rules that in general only describe a small section of the whole system.
The fuzzy logic community states that these logical equivalence axioms are not required in fuzzy logic, and that Elkan's proof requires the excluded middle law, a law that is commonly rejected in fuzzy logic.

 MEDEX: A Fuzzy Expert System
A fuzzy set is a set whose elements might only partially belong to that set, as opposed to the more traditional nonfuzzy set, where the elements are either completely inside or completely outside of the set.
As a result, the fuzzy set allows for a smoother transition out of SMALL for pressure gradient ranging between 3 mb and 7 mb, as shown in the right portion of the graph.
Fuzzy set methodology allows imprecision in user input as well as imprecision in the expert system rule base specification.

 EDN -- 11.10.94 Dismantling a fuzzy rule-based system shows its inner workings
You express rules using fuzzy terms, such as "if Rotational_Velocity is High then..." You perform fuzzification, or transformation from crisp to fuzzy values, by identifying to what degree the crisp value is a member of each of the fuzzy sets.
The system samples inputs at each sampling interval and applies those inputs to the appropriate input membership sets to determine their degrees of membership in each set.
When several rules fire at once, as is often the case in a fuzzy system, their actions must combine into a single action.

The goal of system identification is to derive the system model or behavior from observed input-output data via some machine learning tools.
System model is an important topic in the control communities.
Above mentioned that fuzzy system can integrate some priori knowledge on the system into their structures, but some “free” parameter learning strategies can freely select the structures, tune parameters, and thus inevitably destroyed these integrated knowledge.

Fuzzy logic is controversial, since the validity of its methods, except in the most trivial cases, are unprovable in terms of classic control theory.
He has cleaned up the discussions of importance of structure of fuzzy sets, how they should be built for some kinds of applications, why bell-shaped and trapezoidal membership sets are important in business fuzzy sets while engineers tend to choose triangular sets.
In this introductory chapter we discuss the rationale behind fuzzy system modeling, introduce the ideas of a fuzzy set and a linguistic variable, differentiate between fuzzy logic and the more general area of approximate reasoning, briefly trace the history of fuzzy set theory, and outline the benefits of using fuzzy logic in information system modeling.

 Fuzzy Anti-Lock Brake System Solution
Although fuzzy logic is rigorously structured in mathematics, one advantage is the ability to describe systems linguistically through rule statements.
As linguistic descriptions of a system are much easier to produce than complex mathematical models, fuzzy logic has great appeal for controlling complex systems as changes in the system have little if any effect upon the algorithm.

 Mapping Land Units within Land Systems in Central Queensland Using a Fuzzy Expert System and Terrain Models
A fuzzy rule-based system was developed to classify the raster data sets and consequently to map the likely occurrence of land facets within each land unit.
The rules were derived from the specific relationships between landform and facet described in the land system survey, and modified according to visual inspection of the terrain data sets, remote sensing images, aerial photographs, and several field traverses.
The membership functions and rules were codified in fuzzy system software and a final membership in each facet class was generated using fuzzy algebra.

 Fuzzy Expert Systems
In other words, a fuzzy expert system is a collection of membership functions and rules that are used to reason about data.
In a fuzzy expert system, the inference process is a combination of four subprocesses: _fuzzification_, _inference_, _composition_, and _defuzzification_.
Sometimes it is useful to just examine the fuzzy subsets that are the result of the composition process, but more often, this _fuzzy value_ needs to be converted to a single number - a _crisp value_.

In general, interpreted systems are slower but more memory-efficient, enhance the ability to make and test modifications with table changes rather than a modify/compile/link/ download sequence, and require a fuzzy kernel, which can be assembly-language-optimized for speed.
