On new quasi-type-2 fuzzy logic systems

This paper provides an answer to the question that the type-2 fuzzy logic community is now asking: ldquoWhat comes after interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (TT2 FLSs)?rdquo It demonstrates, through a geometrical understanding of the type-reduced set, that logical next steps in the progression from type-1 to interval type-2 to type-2 FLSs are quasi-T2 FLSs, either an interconnection of a T1 FLS and an IT2 FLS, or an interconnection of two IT2 FLSs, in which both FLSs are designed simultaneously. The quasi-T2 FLSs overcome the computational difficulties that are associated with set theoretic operations and type-reduction (TR) for general T2 FSs and FLSs, because all set theoretic operations can be performed as in existing T1 or IT2 FLSs, and because TR for an IT2 FLS can be performed using existing KM algorithms.
