In this paper we analyze the neural network implementation of fuzzy lo
gic proposed by Keller et al. [Fuzzy Sets Syst., 45, 1-12 (1992)], der
ive a learning algorithm for obtaining an optimal alpha for the net, a
nd, for a special case, we show how one can directly (avoiding trainin
g) compute the optimal alpha. We address how training data can be gene
rated for such a system. Effectiveness of the optimal alpha is then es
tablished through numerical examples. In this regard, several indices
for performance evaluation are discussed. Finally, we propose a new ar
chitecture and demonstrate its effectiveness with numerical examples.
