Some Methods of Fuzzy Conditional Inference for Application to Fuzzy Control Systems

Abstract

Zadeh proposed fuzzy logic with single membership function. Two Zadeh, Mamdani and TSK proposed fuzzy conditional inference. In many applications like fuzzy control systems, the consequent part may be derived from precedent part. Zadeh, Mamdani and TSK proposed different fuzzy conditional inferences for “if … then …” for approximate reasoning. The Zadeh and Mamdani fuzzy conditional inferences are know prior information for both precedent part and consequent part. The TSK fuzzy conditional inferences need not know prior information for consequent part but it is difficult to compute. In this chapter, fuzzy conditional inference is proposed for “if…then…” This fuzzy conditional inference need not know prior information of the consequent part. The fuzzy conditional inference is discussed using the single fuzzy membership function and twofold fuzzy membership functions. The fuzzy control system is given as an application
