✦ Synopsis

We show how to construct a large class of universal approximators for fuzzy functions (which continuously map fuzzy numbers into fuzzy numbers and are the extension principle extensions of continuous real-valued functions). One important application is that layered, feedforward, neural nets, with real weights and bias terms and fuzzy signals, whose output is computed using the extension principle, are universal approximators for these functions.

We first argue that the extension principle is too computationally involved to be an efficient way for a computer to evaluate fuzzy functions. We then suggest using c~-cuts and interval arithmetic to compute the values of fuzzy functions. Using this method of computing fuzzy functions, we then show

One of the reasons why fuzzy methodology is successful is that fuzzy systems are universal approximators, i.e., we can approximate an arbitrary continuous function within Ž . any given accuracy by a fuzzy system. In some practical applications e.g., in control , it is Ž desirable to approximate not

We present a neuro-fttzzy architecture for function approximation based on supervised learning. The learning algorithm is able to determine the structure and the parameters of a fuzzy system. The approach is an extension to our already published NEFCON and NEFCLASS models which are used for control

A serious problem limiting the applicability of standard fuzzy controllers is the rule-explosion problem; that is, the number of rules increases exponentially with the number of input variables to the fuzzy controller. A way to deal with this "curse of dimensionality" is to use the hierarchical fuzz
