Abstract

Fuzzy interpolative reasoning plays an important role in fuzzy modelling as it not only helps to reduce the number of rules in a rule base, but also provides an inference mechanism for sparse rule bases. In interpolation, it is desirable to preserve piece-wise linearity as piece-wise linear results can thus be inferred from piece-wise linear rules and observations. This safely ensures the ignorance of non-characteristic points in performing interpolations. However, almost all existing fuzzy interpolative reasoning methods do not preserve piecewise linearity for general polygonal fuzzy sets. This paper, based on the work of [1], proposes a new interpolative method which preserves this property.
