Abstract

Presents fundamental results on fuzzy Mealy machines. Unlike the classical Mealy machine which requires two functions, one to describe the next state and another to describe the output, a fuzzy Mealy machine requires only one fuzzy function to characterize completely the next state and the output produced. Apart from the obvious generalization that can be obtained from corresponding results on fuzzy finite state machines by introduction of an output associated with each transition, introduces the concept of an interval partition of [0, 1] and uses it to obtain more general results.
