Triangular norms which are join-morphisms in 3-dimensional fuzzy set theory

The n-dimensional fuzzy sets have been introduced as a generalization of interval-valued fuzzy sets, Atanassov's intuitionistic and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this paper we investigate t-norms on 3-dimensional sets which are join-morphisms. Under some additional conditions we show that they can be represented using a representation which generalizes a similar representation for t-norms in interval-valued fuzzy set theory

Quasi-arithmetic means and OWA functions in interval-valued and Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy set theory

In this paper we propose an extension of the well-known OWA functions introduced by Yager to interval-valued (IVFS) and Atanassov’s intuitionistic (AIFS) fuzzy set theory. We first extend the arithmetic and the quasi-arithmetic mean using the arithmetic operators in IVFS and AIFS theory and investigate under which conditions these means are idempotent. Since on the unit interval the construction of the OWA function involves reordering the input values, we propose a way of transforming the input values in IVFS and AIFS theory to a new list of input values which are now ordered

Implication functions in interval-valued fuzzy set theory

Interval-valued fuzzy set theory is an extension of fuzzy set theory in which the real, but unknown, membership degree is approximated by a closed interval of possible membership degrees. Since implications on the unit interval play an important role in fuzzy set theory, several authors have extended this notion to interval-valued fuzzy set theory. This chapter gives an overview of the results pertaining to implications in interval-valued fuzzy set theory. In particular, we describe several possibilities to represent such implications using implications on the unit interval, we give a characterization of the implications in interval-valued fuzzy set theory which satisfy the Smets-Magrez axioms, we discuss the solutions of a particular distributivity equation involving strict t-norms, we extend monoidal logic to the interval-valued fuzzy case and we give a soundness and completeness theorem which is similar to the one existing for monoidal logic, and finally we discuss some other constructions of implications in interval-valued fuzzy set theory

Causal and stable reduced-order model for linear high-frequency systems

With the ever-growing complexity of high-frequency systems in the electronic industry, formation of reduced-order models of these systems is paramount. In this reported work, two different techniques are combined to generate a stable and causal representation of the system. In particular, balanced truncation is combined with a Fourier series expansion approach. The efficacy of the proposed combined method is shown with an example

Fully parameterized macromodeling of S-parameter data by interpolation of numerator & denominator

A robust approach for parametric macromodeling of tabulated frequency responses is presented. An existing technique is modified in such a way that interpolation is performed at the numerator and denominator level, rather than the transfer function level. This enhancement ensures that the poles of the parametric macromodel are fully parameterized. It strengthens the modeling capabilities and improves the model compactness
