Despite its success, SVM assumes that all training samples are equally important during training, making it sensitive to noise or outliers. To mitigate this problem, SVM was extended to fuzzy SVM (FSVM), which assigns a fuzzy membership to each training point, thereby allowing different training points contribute differently to the learning of the decision boundary. Although FSVM improves the classification performance to some degree, it still operates under the assumption that all features contribute equally. This overlooks the different importance of different features in the classification process, potentially leading to undesirable classification results. At present, most feature weighting methods rely on heuristic search strategies, which often yield locally optimal solutions and predominantly focus on the correlation between features and labels while neglecting the redundancy between features. To address these limitations, we propose a novel approach termed dually feature-weighted FSVM based on Hilbert-Schmidt independence criterion (HSIC) least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) (DFWFSVM-HL for short). Specifically, the HSIC is firstly used to calculate the minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) feature weights, and the global optimal solution is efficiently obtained by solving a LASSO optimization problem. Subsequently, the fuzzy membership function is refined by incorporating these feature weights, modulating the contribution of different features to the fuzzy membership function by a feature-weighted Euclidean distance between the sample and its corresponding class center. This effectively reduces the impact of noise or outliers on classification. Additionally, a feature-weighted kernel function is constructed using the feature weights, reducing the influence of weak or irrelevant features on classification. Comprehensive experiments on benchmark datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed DFWFSVM-HL model, demonstrating its superiority in terms of several classification performance metrics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55130,"journal":{"name":"Fuzzy Sets and Systems","volume":"528 ","pages":"Article 109703"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145645981","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}

The issue of infinite gain is effectively addressed by employing a function defined by variable gain over time, and two novel theorems are established. In the first theorem, the scenario is analysed in which both the drift and diffusion terms in stochastic nonlinear systems are known, and this demonstrates that the system achieves fixed-time stability in probability. However, given the potential imperfections inherent in real-world systems, such as model uncertainties and external disturbances, the concept of practical mean-square fixed-time stability is further introduced in Theorem 2. Traditional approaches typically rely on parameter-dependent upper-bound functions to estimate the settling time, which lack flexibility and adaptability to varying system requirements. In contrast, the proposed fixed-time control strategy, which includes a prescribed upper-bound on the dwell time, provides greater flexibility. It enables users to specify the upper limit of the dwell time in accordance with practical requirements. Furthermore, the design of the state-feedback controller employs fuzzy logic systems to approximate the unknown drift and diffusion terms in stochastic nonlinear systems, and by integrating a time-varying gain function, it enables the arbitrary specification of the upper bound on the dwell time. To verify the validity of the prescribed control scheme, this paper presents two simulation case analyses.
