Abstract:
Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) represent a means of fuzzy causal knowledge processing, using the net rather than the traditional tree knowledge representation. The FCM approach allows various knowledge bases to be combined. Similarities between the FCMs and signal flow graphs (SFGs) are pointed out and the inference process used in FCMs is compared in parallel with a fixed point iterative solution of the equations describing the SFG. Then, applications to qualitative circuit analysis are discussed for a class of feedback amplifiers and general active RLC circuits, using a combination of the SFG and FCM concepts. Several examples are given.<>
