    Some Properties of Membership Functions Composed of Triangle Functions and Piecewise Linear Functions

    No full text
    IF-THEN rules in fuzzy inference is composed of multiple fuzzy sets (membership functions). IF-THEN rules can therefore be considered as a pair of membership functions [7]. The evaluation function of fuzzy control is composite function with fuzzy approximate reasoning and is functional on the set of membership functions. We obtained continuity of the evaluation function and compactness of the set of membership functions [12]. Therefore, we proved the existence of pair of membership functions, which maximizes (minimizes) evaluation function and is considered IF-THEN rules, in the set of membership functions by using extreme value theorem. The set of membership functions (fuzzy sets) is defined in this article to verifier our proofs before by Mizar [9], [10], [4]. Membership functions composed of triangle function, piecewise linear function and Gaussian function used in practice are formalized using existing functions. On the other hand, not only curve membership functions mentioned above but also membership functions composed of straight lines (piecewise linear function) like triangular and trapezoidal functions are formalized. Moreover, different from the definition in [3] formalizations of triangular and trapezoidal function composed of two straight lines, minimum function and maximum functions are proposed. We prove, using the Mizar [2], [1] formalism, some properties of membership functions such as continuity and periodicity [13], [8].This work has been partially supported in 2019-2020 by the domestic research grant of University of Marketing and Distribution Sciences in Kobe (Japan).University of Marketing and Distribution Sciences, Kobe, JapanGrzegorz Bancerek, Czesław Bylinski, Adam Grabowski, Artur Korniłowicz, Roman Matuszewski, Adam Naumowicz, Karol Pak, and Josef Urban.

    We continue the formal development of the application of piecewise linear functions and centroids in the area of fuzzy set theory. The corresponding piecewise linear functions are symmetrical and composed by absolute function. In this paper we prove that the membership functions of isosceles triangle type and isosceles trapezoid type can be constructed by functions of this type.Faculty of Business and Informatics, Nagano University, JapanDidier Dubois and Henri Prade.

    Isosceles Triangular and Isosceles Trapezoidal Membership Functions Using Centroid Method

    No full text
    Since isosceles triangular and trapezoidal membership functions [4] are easy to manage, they were applied to various fuzzy approximate reasoning [10], [13], [14]. The centroids of isosceles triangular and trapezoidal membership functions are mentioned in this article [16], [9] and formalized in [11] and [12]. Some propositions of the composition mapping (f +· g, or f +* g using Mizar formalism, where f, g are affine mappings), are proved following [3], [15]. Then different notations for the same isosceles triangular and trapezoidal membership function are formalized. We proved the agreement of the same function expressed with different parameters and formalized those centroids with parameters. In addition, various properties of membership functions on intervals where the endpoints of the domain are fixed and on general intervals are formalized in Mizar [1], [2]. Our formal development contains also some numerical results which can be potentially useful to encode either fuzzy numbers [7], or even fuzzy implications [5], [6] and extends the possibility of building hybrid rough-fuzzy approach in the future [8].Faculty of Business and Informatics, Nagano University, JapanGrzegorz Bancerek, Czesław Byliński, Adam Grabowski, Artur Korniłowicz, Roman Matuszewski, Adam Naumowicz, Karol Pąk, and Josef Urban.

    Definition of Centroid Method as Defuzzification

    No full text
    In this study, using the Mizar system [1], [2], we reuse formalization efforts in fuzzy sets described in [5] and [6]. This time the centroid method which is one of the fuzzy inference processes is formulated [10]. It is the most popular of all defuzzied methods ([11], [13], [7]) – here, defuzzified crisp value is obtained from domain of membership function as weighted average [8]. Since the integral is used in centroid method, the integrability and bounded properties of membership functions are also mentioned to fill the formalization gaps present in the Mizar Mathematical Library, as in the case of another fuzzy operators [4]. In this paper, the properties of piecewise linear functions consisting of two straight lines are mainly described.Faculty of Business and Informatics, Nagano University, JapanGrzegorz Bancerek, Czesław Byliński, Adam Grabowski, Artur Korniłowicz, Roman Matuszewski, Adam Naumowicz, Karol Pąk, and Josef Urban.

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses

    No full text
    Following an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
