Download or read book Fuzzy Logic: With Engineering Applications, 2Nd Ed written by Ross and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fuzzy logic refers to a large subject dealing with a set of methods to characterize and quantify uncertainty in engineering systems that arise from ambiguity, imprecision, fuzziness, and lack of knowledge. This updated version concentrates on various topics of fuzzy logic combined with an abundance of worked examples, chapter problems and commercial case studies designed to help motivate a mainstream engineering audience· Introduction · Classical Sets and Fuzzy Sets · Classical Relations and Fuzzy Relations · Properties of Membership Functions, Fuzzification, and Defuzzification · Logic and Fuzzy Systems · Development of Membership Functions · Automated Methods for Fuzzy Systems · Fuzzy Systems Simulation · Rule-base Reduction Methods · Decision Making with Fuzzy Information · Fuzzy Classification and Pattern Recognition · Fuzzy Arithmetic and the Extension Principle · Fuzzy Control Systems · Miscellaneous Topics · Monotone Measures: Belief, Plausibility, Probability, and Possibility
