Course detail

Fuzzy Sets and Applications

FSI-SFMAcad. year: 2011/2012

The course is concerned with the fundamentals of the fuzzy sets theory: operations with fuzzy sets, extension principle, fuzzy numbers, fuzzy relations and graphs, fuzzy functions, linguistics variable, fuzzy logic, approximate reasoning and decision making, fuzzy control, fuzzy probability. It also deals with the applicability of those methods for modelling of vague technical variables and processes, and work with special software of this area.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students acquire necessary knowledge of important parts of fuzzy set theory, which will enable them to create effective mathematical models of technical phenomena and processes with uncertain information, and carry them out on PC by means of adequate implementations.

Prerequisites

Fundamentals of the set theory and mathematical analysis.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit requirements: active participation in seminars, mastering the subject matter, passing all tests. Examination (written form) consists of two parts: a practical part (4 tasks related to: operations with fuzzy sets, unary and binary operations with fuzzy numbers, fuzzy relation, fuzzy function, fuzzy logic, fuzzy control) using the summary of formula; theoretical part (4 tasks related to basic notions, their properties, sense and practical use); evaluation: each task 0 to 20 points and each theoretical question 0 to 5 points; evaluation according to the total number of points (scoring 0 points for any theoretical part task means failing the exam): excellent (90 - 100 points), very good (80 - 89 points), good (70 - 79 points), satisfactory (60 - 69 points), sufficient (50 - 59 points), failed (0 - 49 points).

Aims

The course objective is to make students acquainted with basic methods and applications of fuzzy sets theory, that allows to model vague quantity of numerical and linguistic character, and subsequently systems and processes, which cannot be described with classical mathematical models. A part of the course is the work with fuzzy toolbox of software Matlab and shareware products.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at seminars is controlled and the teacher decides on the compensation for absences.
