Fuzzy hypercubes: linguistic learning/reasoning systems for intelligent control and identification

The authors introduce a tool for intelligent control and identification. A robust and reliable learning and reasoning mechanism is addressed based on fuzzy set theory and fuzzy associative memories. The mechanism stores a priori an initial knowledge base via approximate learning and utilizes this information for identification and control via fuzzy inferencing. This processor is called a fuzzy hypercube. Fuzzy hypercubes can be applied to a class of complex and highly nonlinear systems which suffer from vagueness uncertainty. Evidential aspects of a fuzzy hypercube are treated to assess the degree of certainty or reliability. The implementation issue using fuzzy hypercubes is raised, and a fuzzy hypercube is applied to fuzzy linguistic control
