ABSTRACT:
A fuzzy computer which is provided with a control part for generating control information to define a trapezoidal membrship function, an operating unit for calculating the both oblique sides of the trapezoid by operating input data according to the control information, a comparator (overflow detection circuit) for comparing operation results of the operating unit with a predetermined value which is based on the control information, and a data elector for selecting, according to the comparison results of the comparator, either of the operation results of the operating unit or the predetermined value in order to obtain the both bases of the trapezoid, that is, both of the maximum and minimum values of the membership function, in order to generate the membership function, as a result, the fuzzy computer entails neither a large-storage memory nor complicated software operations which need processing time.
