Course detail

Fuzzy Models of Technical Processes and Systems

FSI-9FMSAcad. year: 2023/2024

The course is intended for the students of doctoral degree programme and it 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, etc. It also deals with the applicability of those methods for modeling of vague technical variables and processes.

Institute of Mathematics (ÚM)

Entry knowledge

Elements of the set theory, algebra and mathematical analysis.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The exam is in form read report from choice area of fuzzy modeling or else elaboration of written work specialized on solving of concrete problems.
Attendance at lectures is not compulsory, but is recommended.

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.
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.
