ECE 587 - Fuzzy Sets and Applications

Institution:

University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth

Subject:

Electrical and Computer Engineering

Description:

3 hours lecture Prerequisites: Probability and random variables; or permission of instructor Concepts of fuzzy sets, understanding their impact on mathematics, and development of the principles of design. Crisp sets, their operations, and classical two value logic are reviewed and extended to fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic. Relations, orderings, compatibility maps, and morphisms are extended to their fuzzy counterparts. Fuzzy numbers, fuzzy arithmetic and equations are presented. Approximate reasoning, evidence theory, possibility theory and probability are covered. Measures of uncertainty, vagueness, and information are developed. Application to fuzzy control is presented while applications to other disciplines are studied via individualized student projects.
