FUZZY WITHIN-CLASS MATRIX PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS AND ITS APPLICATION TO FACE RECOGNITION

Matrix principal component analysis （MatPCA）, as an effective feature extraction method, can deal with the matrix pattern and the vector pattern. However, like PCA, MatPCA does not use the class information of samples. As a result, the extracted features cannot provide enough useful information for distinguishing pat- tern from one another, and further resulting in degradation of classification performance. To fullly use class in- formation of samples, a novel method, called the fuzzy within-class MatPCA （F-WMatPCA）is proposed. F-WMatPCA utilizes the fuzzy K-nearest neighbor method（FKNN） to fuzzify the class membership degrees of a training sample and then performs fuzzy MatPCA within these patterns having the same class label. Due to more class information is used in feature extraction, F-WMatPCA can intuitively improve the classification perfor- mance. Experimental results in face databases and some benchmark datasets show that F-WMatPCA is effective and competitive than MatPCA. The experimental analysis on face image databases indicates that F-WMatPCA im- proves the recognition accuracy and is more stable and robust in performing classification than the existing method of fuzzy-based F-Fisherfaces.

The construction and combined operation for fuzzy consistent matrixes

Fuzziness is one of the general characteristics of human thinking and objective things. Introducing fuzzy techniques into decision-making yields very good results. Fuzzy consistent matrix has many excellent characteristics, especially cen- ter-division transitivity conforming to the reality of the human thinking process in decision-making. This paper presents a new approach for creating fuzzy consistent matrix from mutual supplementary matrix in fuzzy decision-making. At the same time, based on the distance between individual fuzzy consistent matrix and average fuzzy consistent matrix, a kind of combined opera- tion for several fuzzy consistent matrixes is presented which reflects most opinions of experienced experts. Finally, a practical example shows its flexibility and practicability further.

Ranking Method for Complementary Judgment Matrixes with Fuzzy Numbers Based on Hausdorff Metric Distance

A method for ranking complementary judgment matrixes with traspezoidal fuzzy numbers based on Hausdorff metric distance and fuzzy compromise decision approach is proposed. With regard to fuzzy number complementary judgment matrixes given by a decider group whose members have various weights, the expert＇s information was aggregated first by means of simple weight average（SWA） method and Bonissone calculational method. Hence a matrix including all the experts＇ preference information was got. Then the matrix＇ column members were added up and the fuzzy evaluation values of the alternatives were got. Lastly, the Hausdorff metric distance and fuzzy compromise decision approach were used to rank the fuzzy evaluation values and then the ranking values of all the alternatives were got. Because exact numbers and triangular fuzzy numbers could all be transformed into trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, the method developed can rank complementary judgment matrixes with trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, triangular fuzzy numbers and exact numbers as well. An illustrative example is also given to verify the developed method and to demonstrate its feasibility and practicality.

Co-occurrence matrices have been successfully applied in texture classification and segmentation.However,they have poor computation performance in real-time application.In this paper,the efficient co-occurrence matrix solution for defect detection is focused on,and a method of Fuzzy Label Co-occurrence Matrix (FLCM) set is proposed.In this method,all gray levels are supposed to subject to some fuzzy sets called fuzzy tonal sets and three defective features are defined.Features of FLCM set with various parameters are combined for the final judgment.Unlike many methods,image acquired for learning hasn't to be entirely free of defects.It is shown that the method produces high accuracy and can be a competent candidate for plain colour fabric defect detection.

Approximate Solution of Fuzzy Matrix Equations with LR Fuzzy Numbers

In the paper, a class of fuzzy matrix equations AX=B where A is an m × n crisp matrix and is an m × p arbitrary LR fuzzy numbers matrix, is investigated. We convert the fuzzy matrix equation into two crisp matrix equations. Then the fuzzy approximate solution of the fuzzy matrix equation is obtained by solving two crisp matrix equations. The existence condition of the strong LR fuzzy solution to the fuzzy matrix equation is also discussed. Some examples are given to illustrate the proposed method. Our results enrich the fuzzy linear systems theory.

Linear matrix inequality approach for synchronization control of fuzzy cellular neural networks with mixed time delays

Fuzzy cellular neural networks （FCNNs） are special kinds of cellular neural networks （CNNs）. Each cell in an FCNN contains fuzzy operating abilities. The entire network is governed by cellular computing laws. The design of FCNNs is based on fuzzy local rules. In this paper, a linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach for synchronization control of FCNNs with mixed delays is investigated. Mixed delays include discrete time-varying delays and unbounded distributed delays. A dynamic control scheme is proposed to achieve the synchronization between a drive network and a response network. By constructing the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional which contains a triple-integral term and the free-weighting matrices method an improved delay-dependent stability criterion is derived in terms of LMIs. The controller can be easily obtained by solving the derived LMIs. A numerical example and its simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Novel stability criteria for fuzzy Hopfield neural networks based on an improved homogeneous matrix polynomials technique

The global stability problem of Takagi-Sugeno（T-S） fuzzy Hopfield neural networks（FHNNs） with time delays is investigated.Novel LMI-based stability criteria are obtained by using Lyapunov functional theory to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the FHNNs with less conservatism.Firstly,using both Finsler＇s lemma and an improved homogeneous matrix polynomial technique,and applying an affine parameter-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional,we obtain the convergent LMI-based stability criteria.Algebraic properties of the fuzzy membership functions in the unit simplex are considered in the process of stability analysis via the homogeneous matrix polynomials technique.Secondly,to further reduce the conservatism,a new right-hand-side slack variables introducing technique is also proposed in terms of LMIs,which is suitable to the homogeneous matrix polynomials setting.Finally,two illustrative examples are given to show the efficiency of the proposed approaches.

This work aimed to construct an epidemic model with fuzzy parameters.Since the classical epidemic model doesnot elaborate on the successful interaction of susceptible and infective people,the constructed fuzzy epidemicmodel discusses the more detailed versions of the interactions between infective and susceptible people.Thenext-generation matrix approach is employed to find the reproduction number of a deterministic model.Thesensitivity analysis and local stability analysis of the systemare also provided.For solving the fuzzy epidemic model,a numerical scheme is constructed which consists of three time levels.The numerical scheme has an advantage overthe existing forward Euler scheme for determining the conditions of getting the positive solution.The establishedscheme also has an advantage over existing non-standard finite difference methods in terms of order of accuracy.The stability of the scheme for the considered fuzzy model is also provided.From the plotted results,it can beobserved that susceptible people decay by rising interaction parameters.

FUZZY ROBUST H_∞ CONTROL OF UNCERTAIN NONLINEAR SYSTEM WITH TIME-DEALY

This paper addresses the problem of the fuzzy H ∞state feedback control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with time delay. The Takagi Sugeno (T S) mo del with time delay and parameter uncertainties is adopted for modeling of nonlinear system. The systematic design procedure for the fuzzy robust controller based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) is given. Some sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of fuzzy H ∞ state feedback controllers such that the closed loop system is asymptotically stable and the effect of the disturbance input on controlled output is reduced to a prescribed level. An example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
