METHOD OF IDENTIFICATION OF OBJECT STATES ACCORDING TO THE RESULTS OF FUZZY MEASUREMENTS OF CONTROLLED PARAMETERS by Лев Григорович Раскін, Лариса Вадимівна Сухомлин, Юрій Володимирович Іванчихін, Роман Олегович Корсун

“…The fundamental difference between the proposed logical output mechanism and the traditional one is the refusal to use the production rule base, which ensures the practical independence of the computational procedure from the dimension of the task. To solve the main problem of identifying states, a non-productive approach is proposed, the computational complexity of which practically does not depend on the dimension of the problem (the product of the number of possible states Results.per the number of controlled parameters). …”
