Main Topics

Intelligent Fuzzy Computing Group
Rostock, Germany

We propose, with applications to environmental science, medicine, chemistry and drug design, a mathematical framework offering the possibilities of 1) the design of a fuzzy filter, based on different mathematical criteria, for filtering out the uncertainties from the modeling problem; 2) utilizing the data about uncertainties provided by the fuzzy filter for estimating the parameters of the random sources which produced uncertainties; 3) incorporating the statistical information about the random sources of uncertainties in the modeling of process behavior; 4) optimal prediction of process variables taking into account the uncertainties; 5) a mathematical analysis of the modeling approach with emphasis on stability, robustness, and steady-state error issues.
