FUZZY LOGIC AND ITS APPLICATION TO SWITCHING SYSTEMS Fuzzy Logic 1 Introduction The first step in this direction was made by Zadeh who propsed a so called “Fuzzy Set” theory dealing with events and situations having subjectively ascribed attributes Fuzzy Logic 2 Illustrations of Situations • The set of all real numbers much greater than 100 (Is 125 a member of this set?) • The set of all intelligent humans.(Do I belong to this set?) • The set of all poor people.(Am I a member of this set?) Obviously, all the above sets are very fuzzily defined and their members do not possess sharply defined attributes Fuzzy Logic 3 Fuzzy Sets Let X and Y be two fuzzy sets, and x and y be the membership grades of an object with respect to sets X and Y, respectively Definition 1: Two fuzzy sets X and Y are equal (X=Y) if, and only if, for every object -i one has that its membership grade Xi in X is equal to its membership grade Yi in Y Fuzzy Logic 4 Definition 2: A fuzzy set is the complement of another fuzzy set X and is denoted by X’ if and only if, for every object-i one has that its member-ship grade Xi’ in X’ is equal to 1-Xi, where Xi is the member ship grade of the object -i in X Fuzzy Logic 5 Definition 3: A fuzzy set X is contained in another fuzzy set Y if and only if for every object i one has that Xi <= Yi Fuzzy Logic 6 Definition 4: Two fuzzy sets X and Y form a union, denoted by Z = X + Y if and only if, for every object i one has that Zi = max(Xi,Yi) Fuzzy Logic 7 Definition 5: Two fuzzy sets X and Y form an intersection, denoted by Z = X.Y, if and only if for every object i one has that Zi = min(Xi,Yi) Fuzzy Logic 8 Fuzzy Logic 9 Fuzzy Logic 10 CLASSIFICATION OF FUZZY FUNCTIONS where, 1>a1>a2>……>an-1>0 Fuzzy Logic 11 Fuzzy Logic 12 Relationship (9) is satisfied if and only if the variables(x,y,z) satisfy the following relations: Fuzzy Logic 13 2 Fuzzy Logic 14 Fuzzy Logic 15 Fuzzy Logic 16 Fuzzy Logic 17 Fuzzy Logic 18 ……(17) Fuzzy Logic 19 Fuzzy Logic 20 ……(18) Fuzzy Logic 21 Example: Fuzzy Logic 22 Fuzzy Logic 23 Fuzzy Logic 24 Fuzzy Logic 25 Fuzzy Logic 26 Fuzzy Logic 27 Fuzzy Logic 28 Fuzzy Logic 29 Fuzzy Logic 30 Fuzzy Logic 31
