ABSTRACT
The objective of this tutorial is to introduce to the simulation community another tool that is now available. This tool is best known under the name of Fuzzy Set Theory. This tutorial contains a brief discussion of the current trends in simulation which we believe justify the need of this new tool. Kept to a minimum, the Introduction to fuzzy sets will be strictly limited to the case of a finite number of elements. Most attention will be devoted to fuzzy logic. It is precisely fuzzy logic which lends itself to growth in the simulation of situations that arise in real life either because of the inexactness of the environment, or because of the inexactness/imprecision of the available data.

Overview of Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems
Fuzzy set theory has been proposed as a means for modeling the vagueness in complex systems. Fuzzy systems usually employ type-1 fuzzy sets, representing uncertainty by numbers in the range [0, 1]. Despite commercial success of fuzzy logic, a type-1 ...
A comparative study of type-1 fuzzy logic systems, interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems and generalized type-2 fuzzy logic systems in control problems
This paper presents a comparative study of type-2 fuzzy logic systems with respect to interval type-2 and type-1 fuzzy logic systems to show the efficiency and performance of a generalized type-2 fuzzy logic controller (GT2FLC). We used different types ...
Efficient triangular type-2 fuzzy logic systems
In this study, an efficient fuzzy logic system (FLS) based on triangular type-2 fuzzy sets is designed. In detail, this paper provides a new method for computational complexity reduction in t-norm operations extended on triangular type-2 fuzzy sets. It ...
