Compact Fuzzy Systems Based on Boolean Relations

Abstract

This document presents some considerations and procedures to design a compact fuzzy system based on Boolean relations. In the design process, a Boolean codification of two elements is extended to a Kleene’s of three elements to perform simplifications for obtaining a compact fuzzy system. The design methodology employed a set of considerations producing equivalent expressions when using Boole and Kleene algebras establishing cases where simplification can be carried out, thus obtaining compact forms. In addition, the development of two compact fuzzy systems based on Boolean relations is shown, presenting its application for the identification of a nonlinear plant and the control of a hydraulic system where it can be seen that compact structures describes satisfactory performance for both identification and control when using algorithms for optimizing the parameters of the compact fuzzy systems. Finally, the applications where compact fuzzy systems are based on Boolean relationships are discussed allowing the observation of other scenarios where these structures can be used.
