On the Transformation of a Stationary Fuzzy Random Process by a Linear Dynamic System

Abstract

In this paper, stationary random processes with fuzzy states are studied. The properties of their numerical characteristics—fuzzy expectations, expectations, and covariance functions—are established. The spectral representation of the covariance function, the generalized Wiener–Khinchin theorem, is proved. The main attention is paid to the problem of transforming a stationary fuzzy random process (signal) by a linear dynamic system. Explicitform relationships are obtained for the fuzzy expectations (and expectations) of input and output stationary fuzzy random processes. An algorithm is developed and justified to calculate the covariance function of a stationary fuzzy random process at the output of a linear dynamic system from the covariance function of a stationary input fuzzy random process. The results rest on the properties of fuzzy random variables and numerical random processes. Triangular fuzzy random processes are considered as examples.
