A framework for designing cognitive trajectory controllers using genetically evolved interval type-2 fuzzy cognitive maps

In this paper, we provide a complete framework for the design of genetically evolved cognitive tracking controller based on interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy cognitive map (FCM). We construct the cognitive controller based on a nonlinear controller by transforming its representation into a FCM. This representation gives the opportunity to prove the stability of the cognitive controller in the framework of nonlinear control theory. Moreover, with the deployment of IT2-fuzzy sets which are known to be capable to handle high level of uncertainty, the proposed cognitive controller has the ability to deal with uncertainty that are encountered in real-time world applications. To accomplish the design of the cognitive controller, we present a systematic approach based on genetic algorithm to optimize its parameters and learn fuzzy rules by extracting them from model space (e.g., a set of rules). Within the paper, all steps in constructing and designing the IT2-FCM-based cognitive controller are presented. We first show the performance improvements of the proposed IT2-FCM-based tracking controller with extensive and comparative simulation results and then with experimental results that were collected on real-world mobile robot. The results clearly show the superiority of proposed cognitive control systems when compared to its conventional and fuzzy controller counterparts. We believe that the proposed genetically evolved design approach of the IT2-FCM-based cognitive controller will provide a bridge between the well-developed cognitive sciences and control theory.     

On admissible total orders for typical hesitant fuzzy consensus measures

In this paper, we discussconsensus measures for typical hesitant fuzzy elements (THFE), which are the finite and nonempty fuzzy membership degrees under the scope of typical hesitant fuzzy sets (THFS). In our approach, we present a model that formally constructs consensus measures by means of aggregations functions, fuzzy implication-like functions and fuzzy negations, using admissible orders to compare the THFE, and also providing an analysis of consistency on them. Our theoretical results are applied into a problem of decision making with multicriteria illustrating our methodology to achieve consensus in a group of experts working with THFS.     

Linguistic hesitant fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method based on evidential reasoning

Linguistic hesitant fuzzy sets (LHFSs), which can be used to represent decision-makers’ qualitative preferences as well as reflect their hesitancy and inconsistency, have attracted a great deal of attention due to their flexibility and efficiency. This paper focuses on a multi-criteria decision-making approach that combines LHFSs with the evidential reasoning (ER) method. After reviewing existing studies of LHFSs, a new order relationship and Hamming distance between LHFSs are introduced and some linguistic scale functions are applied. Then, the ER algorithm is used to aggregate the distributed assessment of each alternative. Subsequently, the set of aggregated alternatives on criteria are further aggregated to get the overall value of each alternative. Furthermore, a nonlinear programming model is developed and genetic algorithms are used to obtain the optimal weights of the criteria. Finally, two illustrative examples are provided to show the feasibility and usability of the method, and comparison analysis with the existing method is made.     

Simplified neutrosophic sets and their applications in multi-criteria group decision-making problems

As a variation of fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets, neutrosophic sets have been developed to represent uncertain, imprecise, incomplete and inconsistent information that exists in the real world. Simplified neutrosophic sets (SNSs) have been proposed for the main purpose of addressing issues with a set of specific numbers. However, there are certain problems regarding the existing operations of SNSs, as well as their aggregation operators and the comparison methods. Therefore, this paper defines the novel operations of simplified neutrosophic numbers (SNNs) and develops a comparison method based on the related research of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. On the basis of these operations and the comparison method, some SNN aggregation operators are proposed. Additionally, an approach for multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problems is explored by applying these aggregation operators. Finally, an example to illustrate the applicability of the proposed method is provided and a comparison with some other methods is made.     

三支决策与决策粗糙集融合模型

Paw lak粗糙集模型没有对正域、边界域和负域赋予语义,不能进行再决策,而三支决策对边界域赋予了新的语义,可以对边界域做出进一步刻画,对于边界域的进一步划分,依据属性的重要性,使满足条件的样本划入再决策域,不满足条件的样本继续保留在边界域中,降低了边界域样本处理的失误率.本文在对概率粗糙集模型、三支决策粗糙集的理论、贝叶斯理论的决策过程和决策粗糙集模型进行研究的基础上,提出了一种三支决策与决策粗糙集融合模型,与Paw lak-三支决策模型相比,其划分损失更小,处理结果更优.该模型运用三支决策理论对决策粗糙集的边界域赋予延迟决策的语义,对于延迟决策再运用三支决策理论进行迭代操作,对边界域样本进一步处理.在迭代的过程中,依据属性的重要程度将属性排序,从而客观的得到迭代过程中每次优先依据哪个属性进行划分.实验结果表明,该模型比单一运用决策粗糙集模型进行决策代价小,三支决策通过迭代对边界域处理的正确率有所提高,这为准确决策提供了一种新的方法.
