Principle of Parallel Rules


However when a fact fuzzy set tex2html_wrap_inline1358 is not included in only one rule fuzzy set, several generalized modus ponens are computed for this fact fuzzy set, one for each rule fuzzy set intersecting it.

This problem can be formalized by the following schematic form where rules contain the same variables in premises and in conclusions:

Rules : IF X is tex2html_wrap_inline1640 THEN Y is tex2html_wrap_inline1644 i=1,n
Fact : X is tex2html_wrap_inline1358
Conclusion : Y is tex2html_wrap_inline1366

One way of processing a collection of rules could consist, first in making as many inferences as there are rules and, second in combining the results provided by each of them with formula 6 as [4]:

However, if tex2html_wrap_inline1660 (with tex2html_wrap_inline1662 and tex2html_wrap_inline1664 ), the final fuzzy set tex2html_wrap_inline1666 is the total uncertainty (e=1) with formula 8 because

It would be logic to obtain the final fuzzy set tex2html_wrap_inline1682 . Equally if tex2html_wrap_inline1684 It would be logic to obtain tex2html_wrap_inline1686 .

Some researches [4, 6] show that the combination/projection principle performed globally behaves better than performed locally. So, it is better to minimize fuzzy implications involved by generalized modus ponens and combine this result with the fact to provide a more specific conclusion as :
