Abstract

The general fuzzy numbers are approximately represented as polygonal fuzzy numbers, which can be determined by finite nested closed interval. Based on interval arithmetic the input-output (I/O) relationship of a four-layer feedforward regular fuzzy neural network (FNN) is analyzed systematically. By introducing semi-jump function 'Lor' a group of partial derivative formulas are established for the error function of the four-layer regular FNN, in which the maximum operator '∧' and minimum operator '∨' are included. A BP learning algorithm for fuzzy weights of the regular FNN is developed. To speed the convergence of the algorithm the learning constant is updated in each iteration step. Our experimental results show that the novel fuzzy BP algorithm can train a regular FNN efficiently to realize a family of fuzzy inference rules approximately, and to finish a uncomplete fuzzy inference rule table to demonstrate the FNN trained by our learning scheme having strong generalization capability.
