Type reduction does the work of computing the centroid of a type-2 fuzzy set. The result is a type-1 fuzzy set from which a corresponding crisp number can then be obtained through defuzzification. Type reduction is one of the major operations involved in type-2 fuzzy inference. Therefore, making type reduction efficient is a significant task in the application of type-2 fuzzy systems. Liu introduced a horizontal slice representation, called the £\-plane representation, and proposed a type reduction method for a type-2 fuzzy set. By exploring some useful properties of the £\-plane representation and of the type reduction for interval type-2 fuzzy sets, we develop a fast method for computing the centroid of a type-2 fuzzy set. The number of computations and comparisons involved is greatly reduced. As a result, type reduction can be done much more efficiently. The effectiveness of the proposed method is analyzed mathematically and demonstrated by experimental results.
