The key step in establishing a fuzzy rough set model is to construct the fuzzy binary relation between objects. However, under the environment of multiple fuzzy <em>β</em>-coverings, the existing fuzzy <em>β</em>-neighborhoods either do not satisfy the reflexivity of relation or rely on R-implication operators. For this reason, these fuzzy <em>β</em>-neighborhoods are not very suitable for characterizing the similarity between objects. In order to characterize the similarity between objects under the environment of multiple fuzzy <em>β</em>-coverings more reasonably, this paper constructs a <em>β</em>-neighborhood that satisfies the reflexivity and does not depend on any fuzzy operators. On this basis, a novel fuzzy <em>β</em>-covering rough set model is established. Based on the proposed model, several monotonic uncertainty measures of fuzzy <em>β</em>-coverings are defined. Finally, an attribute reduction method is presented, and the experimental analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed method compared with the other five excellent attribute reduction methods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55130,"journal":{"name":"Fuzzy Sets and Systems","volume":"507 ","pages":"Article 109314"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143428139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, we introduce an innovative performance function that enforces fixed-time prescribed qualities on the discrete-time system output. Subsequently, we transform the boundary constraint into an error term which is further utilized to define an intermediate variable function. In contrast, instead of using the transformed error, we employ the intermediate variable function to design a discrete-time prescribed performance controller, presenting a new framework distinct from existing sliding-mode-control-based structures. Moreover, our approach requires only one fuzzy estimator for nonlinearity approximation while incorporating an event-triggered adaptive law for updating fuzzy weights, resulting in a low-complexity implementation with reduced computational cost.

In previous studies, the unknown system powers were assumed to be positive odd integers that are greater than or equal to one and their boundaries were also assumed to be positive odd integers, but we relax these assumptions, where the powers are assumed to be unknown time-varying bounded real functions and their boundaries are real constants, and not necessarily positive odd integers. In addition, the proposed output dead-zone approximation model can achieve full approximation within a limited adjustable range, rather than the asymptotic approximation found in previous studies. Theoretical analysis proves that the tracking error of each subsystem converges to a small neighborhood of the origin in finite time.
