4B. For a given electronic circuit, the voltage (Volts), current (mA) and power (mW) are
defined by fuzzy sets:

Find a fuzzy relation between Voltage and Current and Current & Power. Hence
deduce a relation between Voltage & Power. Interpret your results.

5A. Design a simple fuzzy rule based system to simulate a nonlinear function given by
Y = 5 .The universe for input is defined as U= [-2 2] and for the output V= [0 10].
Use Mamadanis product implication for rule interpretation, min for intersection
and max for union operators.
5B. Test the above system for the following inputs: X = -1, 0 and +2 and comment on
your answers. Use centre average defuzzifier.
(7+3)
6A. Consider the following fuzzy relation defined on U1U2U3U4 where
U1={a, b, c} U2={s, t} U3={x, y} and U4={i, j}:

c, s , y , i
i) Compute the projections of Q on U1U2U4 , U1U3 and U4
ii) Compute the cylindrical extensions of the projections in i) to U1U2U3U4
6B. Consider a 2-input 1-output fuzzy system that is constructed from the following
three rules:
If x1 is A1 and x2 is A2, Then y is A1
If x1 is A2 and x2 is A1, Then y is A2
If x1 and x2 are A1, Then y is A3
Where A1, A2 and A3 are fuzzy sets with membership functions:
1 u , if 1 u 1 A2 (u) 1 u 1, if 0 u 2
A1 (u)
=0
otherwise
=0
otherwise
1 u 2 , if 1 u 3
A3 (u)
=0
otherwise
If the input to the fuzzy system is [x1*, x2*] = [0.5 0.5], use singleton fuzzifier to
determine the output of the fuzzy system y* in the following cases:
i) Minimum inference engine and center average defuzzifier
ii) product inference engine and center average defuzzifier
