Intuitionistic Fuzzy Logic Control for Heater Fans

Mathematics in Computer Science volume 7, pages 367–378 (2013)Cite this article

Abstract

The concept of intuitionistic fuzzy systems, including intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy logic, was introduced by Atanassov as a generalization of fuzzy systems. Intuitionistic fuzzy systems provide a mechanism for communication between computing systems and humans. In this paper, we describe the development of an intuitionistic fuzzy logic controller for heater fans, developed on the basis of intuitionistic fuzzy systems. Intuitionistic fuzzy inference systems and defuzzification techniques are used to obtain crisp output (i.e., speed of the heater fan) from an intuitionistic fuzzy input (i.e., ambient temperature). The speed of the heater fan is calculated using intuitionistic fuzzy rules applied in an inference engine using defuzzification methods.
