Course content
Fuzzy sets theory as an instrument of the mathematical modeling of vagueness. Definition of fuzzy set, mathematical structures of membership degrees. Operations on fuzzy sets. T-norms, T-conorms, negations, implications. Aggregating operators - averaging, Sugeno and Choquet integral. Representation theorem, extension principle. Fuzzy relations, fuzzy equivalence, fuzzy compatibility, fuzzy ordering. Fuzzy mappings. Fuzzy numbers, important classes of fuzzy numbers. Calculation on fuzzy numbers. Ordering and metrics on fuzzy numbers. Linguistic variables, special structures of values of linguistic variables. Linguistic functions - rule bases. Approximate reasoning. Linguistic approximation. Fuzzy controllers. History of fuzzy controllers. Principle of fuzzy controller. Design of fuzzy controller. Mamdani, Takagi - Sugeno and Sugeno fuzzy controllers. Fuzzy controllers as universal approximators. Applications of fuzzy sets in multiple criteria decision making. Objective-oriented approach to evaluation and its connection with the fuzzy sets paradigm. Fuzzy Weighted Average Method, Fuzzy Expert System Method. Applications of fuzzy sets in decision making under risk. Fuzzy probabilities. Fuzzy decision matrices. Fuzzy decision trees.
