SYNTHESIS OF FUZZY MODELS FOR INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES-SOME RECENT RESULTS

Abstract

Abstract Many industrial processes are examples of Zadeh's “principle of incompatibility” which states that as a system becomes more complex it becomes increasingly difficult to make mathematical statements about it which are both meaningful and precise. So that if a model of such a process is required then a fuzzy model may be the “best” that can be achieved. This paper considers the problems of building such models. It introduces a definition of a fuzzy model, discusses the assessment of its quality and outlines a systematic procedure for deriving a model from input-output data.
