In this note, the T-S fuzzy model approach is exploited to establish stability criteria for a class of nonlinear stochastic systems with time delay. Sufficient conditions are derived in the format of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), such that for all admissible parameter uncertainties, the overall fuzzy system is stochastically exponentially stable in the mean square, independent of the time delay. Therefore, with the numerically attractive Matlab LMI toolbox, the robust stability of the uncertain stochastic fuzzy systems with time delays can be easily checked
A note on many valued quantum computational logics
The standard theory of quantum computation relies on the idea that the basic
information quantity is represented by a superposition of elements of the
canonical basis and the notion of probability naturally follows from the Born
rule. In this work we consider three valued quantum computational logics. More
specifically, we will focus on the Hilbert space C^3, we discuss extensions of
several gates to this space and, using the notion of effect probability, we
provide a characterization of its states.Comment: Pages 15, Soft Computing, 201

Exploring fuzzy cognitive mapping for IS evaluation: A research note
Existing IS Evaluation (ISE) techniques tend to focus on modeling individuals, teams, organization, or systems, in relation to process and environmental boundaries. Whilst such approaches are noteworthy and of merit, they do not necessarily provide insights into those causal interdependencies that are inherent within decision-making task. As has been noted by the extant literature in the field, the ISE task is dependent upon many factors – the resulting outputs of which may be tangible or intangible. The implicit level of uncertainty associated with modeling such decision-making tasks and behaviors, are therefore difficult to comprehend and impart via wholly Quantitative and / or Qualitative analyses. The authors therefore present and propose supporting and on-going research into the application of Fuzzy Logic, in the guise of Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping (FCM) simulations, as a means to model tangible/intangible aspects of the ISE decision-making task. Such a Fuzzy Information Systems Evaluation (F-ISE) is shown via the application of the FCM technique, in terms of three models of investment appraisal that are aligned to an ISE task within a UK manufacturing organization. In doing so, it is anticipated that such a technique may be a useful addition to the plethora of ISE techniques available to both researcher and practitioner alike

Theoretical optimisation of IT/IS investments: A research note
The justification of Information Technology (IT) is inherently fuzzy, both in theory and practice. The reason for this is due to the largely intangible dimensions of IT projects. In view of this, this research note presents the results of on-going research, in the application of Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping (FCM), as a tool to identify complex functional interrelationships associated with the justification of IT. This paper presents a theoretical functional model which describes these relationships, and by using an FCM, further interrelationships are developed in the context of justifying IT projects. A procedure which would address the optimisation of these intangible relationships in the form of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed as a process for Investment Justification

Topology Change for Fuzzy Physics: Fuzzy Spaces as Hopf Algebras
Fuzzy spaces are obtained by quantizing adjoint orbits of compact semi-simple
Lie groups. Fuzzy spheres emerge from quantizing S^2 and are associated with
the group SU(2) in this manner. They are useful for regularizing quantum field
theories and modeling spacetimes by non-commutative manifolds. We show that
fuzzy spaces are Hopf algebras and in fact have more structure than the latter.
They are thus candidates for quantum symmetries. Using their generalized Hopf
algebraic structures, we can also model processes where one fuzzy space splits
into several fuzzy spaces. For example we can discuss the quantum transition
where the fuzzy sphere for angular momentum J splits into fuzzy spheres for
angular momenta K and L.Comment: LaTeX, 13 pages, v3: minor additions, added references, v4: corrected

Character recognition using a neural network model with fuzzy representation
The degree to which digital images are recognized correctly by computerized algorithms is highly dependent upon the representation and the classification processes. Fuzzy techniques play an important role in both processes. In this paper, the role of fuzzy representation and classification on the recognition of digital characters is investigated. An experimental Neural Network model with application to character recognition was developed. Through a set of experiments, the effect of fuzzy representation on the recognition accuracy of this model is presented
