TLDR
A fuzzy algorithm is introduced which, though fuzzy rather than precise in nature, may eventually prove to be of use in a wide variety of problems relating to information processing, control, pattern recognition, system identification, artificial intelligence and, more generally, decision processes involving incomplete or uncertain data.Abstract:
Unlike most papers in Information and Control, our note contains no theorems and no proofs. Essentially, its purpose is to introduce a basic concept which, though fuzzy rather than precise in nature, may eventually prove to be of use in a wide variety of problems relating to information processing, control, pattern recognition, system identification, artificial intelligence and, more generally, decision processes involving incomplete or uncertain data. The concept in question will be called a fuzzy algorithm because it may be viewed as a generalization, through the process of fuzzification, of the conventional (nonfuzzy) conception of an algorithm. More specifically, unlike a nonfuzzy deterministic or nondeterministic algorithm (Floyd, 1967), a fuzzy algorithm may contain fuzzy statements, that is, statements containing names of fuzzy sets (Zadeh, 1965), by which we mean classes in which there may be grades of membership intermediate between full membership and nonmembership. To illustrate, fuzzy algorithms may contain fuzzy instructions such as:read more

Seismic Performance Comparison of Base-Isolated and Conventional RC Frames Compliant with ASCE 7-10 Using FAHP Method
TL;DR: The results show that the seismic performance of code-designed isolated structures under three scenario earthquakes is superior to that of the fixed-base structures and the lower isolated structures perform better than the higher ones with the same period.

Alireza Erfani,solmaz safari +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the equity premium puzzle in Iran for the quarterly period of 1993-2016, using hybrid bivariate Garch model and also fuzzy dummy variables with consumption capital asset pricing model (C-CAPM) have been used.
