Computing with words with the use of inverse RDM models of membership functions

Abstract

Computing with words is a way to artificial, human-like thinking. The paper shows some new possibilities of solving difficult problems of computing with words which are offered by relative-distance-measure RDM models of fuzzy membership functions. Such models are based on RDM interval arithmetic. The way of calculation with words was shown using a specific problem of flight delay formulated by Lotfi Zadeh. The problem seems easy at first sight, but according to the authors' knowledge it has not been solved yet. Results produced with the achieved solution were tested. The investigations also showed that computing with words sometimes offers possibilities of achieving better problem solutions than with the human mind.

A Three–Level Aggregation Model for Evaluating Software Usability by Fuzzy Logic

“…Thus, we should include logic properties of human evaluation, which is not a linear one. Further, using both numerical and linguistic data and information enables more effective decision-making (Piegat and Pluciński, 2015). This paper, however, focuses on a different utility task, but the same principle should be met.…”

A New Artificial Duroc Pigs Optimization Method Used for the Optimization of Functions

“…As noted, the experiments involved the optimization of eight benchmark functions with two unknowns [56,57], aiming at identifying their global minimum within specified ranges of variable values [58,59]. Table 2 furnishes the function names, variable value interval limits, sought values of the two unknowns, and the desired global minimum value.…”

New Fuzzy Numbers Comparison Operators In Energy Effectiveness Simulation And Modeling Systems

“…While some branches of science sought to answer the question about the nature of the similarities, others need precise, formal definition. Comparison of two objects or occurrences can be seen as an attempt to determine the relation between them (Piegat, 2015, Piegat et al, 2015. The most important and most frequently used relations between objects are similarity, difference and inclusion.…”
