FUZZY PROGRAMS AND THEIR EXECUTION

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses several methods that translate a given sequence of fuzzy instructions into another sequence of precise instructions called a machine program. A finite-state automaton is taken up as a fuzzy machine model that executes a fuzzy program. The chapter presents the formulation of an extended fuzzy machine based on a generalized automaton and a few procedures for execution of fuzzy programs. An L-fuzzy automaton with the weight space defined in the lattice ordered semigroup is considered as a general machine. Several machines are also derived from L-fuzzy automata as their specific examples. The chapter discusses a more general way of executing fuzzy programs by making use of the generalized fuzzy machine. The chapter presents a computer simulation of the process of human learning by making use of the concept of fuzzy program and learning algorithm.
