Abstract
In fuzzy models, redundancy may be present in the form of similar fuzzy sets, especially in the construction of a fuzzy system from a set of given training examples. In this paper, a simple formula for calculating the degree of similarity of Trapezoidal membership functions is derived in order to merge similar membership functions and hence to obtain a more transparent rule-base with a minimum number of membership functions. A simplification algorithm by using the proposed similarity measure has been applied to fuzzy models of nonlinear functions approximation.
