Randomized algorithms for computing the fuzzy weighted average and the generalized centroid of an interval type-2 fuzzy set
The fuzzy weighted average is an useful aggregation method in multiple criteria decision making, while the generalized centroid of an interval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2 FS) is an important type reduction method in interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems. They are two different concepts in different fields. However, computing the fuzzy weighted average and the generalized centroid of an IT2 FS are nearly identical. Traditionally, all the weights in the fuzzy weighted average must be non-negative. The main aim of this paper is to extend the fuzzy weighted average to the case with negative weights. First, it is analyzed and proven strictly from the mathematical point to the properties of optimal solutions to the optimization models which can include negative weights. Second, two efficient randomized algorithms are proposed to solve the fuzzy weighted average in the case with negative weights and the generalized centroid of an IT2 FS. Finally, the outputs of the proposed randomized algorithms are proven to be the optimal values and the efficiencies of the proposed randomized algorithms are analyzed and demonstrated by numerical experiments and simulations.
期刊介绍:
Since its launching in 1978, the journal Fuzzy Sets and Systems has been devoted to the international advancement of the theory and application of fuzzy sets and systems. The theory of fuzzy sets now encompasses a well organized corpus of basic notions including (and not restricted to) aggregation operations, a generalized theory of relations, specific measures of information content, a calculus of fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy sets are also the cornerstone of a non-additive uncertainty theory, namely possibility theory, and of a versatile tool for both linguistic and numerical modeling: fuzzy rule-based systems. Numerous works now combine fuzzy concepts with other scientific disciplines as well as modern technologies.
In mathematics fuzzy sets have triggered new research topics in connection with category theory, topology, algebra, analysis. Fuzzy sets are also part of a recent trend in the study of generalized measures and integrals, and are combined with statistical methods. Furthermore, fuzzy sets have strong logical underpinnings in the tradition of many-valued logics.
