Summary:Computing the centroid and performing type-reduction for type-2 fuzzy sets and systems are operations that must be taken into consideration. Karnik-Mendel (KM) algorithms are the standard ways to do these operations; however, because these algorithms are iterative, much research has been conducted during the past decade about centroid and type-reduction computations. This tutorial paper focuses on the research that has been conducted to 1) improve the KM algorithms; 2) understand the KM algorithms, leading to further improved algorithms; 3) eliminate the need for KM algorithms; 4) use the KM algorithms to solve other (nonfuzzy logic system) problems; and 5) use (or not use) KM algorithms for general type-2 fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic systems.
