Designing generalised type-2 fuzzy logic systems using interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems and simulated annealing
Majid Almaraashi, Robert John, Simon Coupland · 2012
In this paper, simulated annealing algorithm is used to design general type-2 fuzzy logic systems (GT2FLS) with the aid of interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (IT2FLS). The proposed practical design methodology aims to reduce computations needed to get the best footprint of uncertainty (FOU) using IT2FLS. Simulated annealing is used to learn IT2FLS followed by learning the secondary membership functions in GT2FLS using a novel parameterization method. This methodology has been applied to four bench-mark problems. some practical issues have been discussed and some analysis of the results obtained by IT2FLS and GT2FLS has been drawn.
