Abstract
This paper presents a clarification model in the fuzzy sense based on the Membership Inverse Function (MIF), in Control Theory. It is considered as an identification and requires bounded input and output signals. The sign function and its derivative is regarded as a Gaussian function into the mathematical Membership description. Specifically, the sign function considers the difference between the absolute state variable values and its centroid, rather than remaining in the triangle inequality. Therefore, the theoretical result applied in Matlab® using the reference values as an identification process in an Auto Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) (1, 1) model describes the performance. The clarification converging in almost all points of the desired signal depends on the different initial conditions. The convergence obtained by the functional error built by the second probability moment was also used and applied in the same software giving an illustrative description.

Resumen
Este artículo presenta un modelo de clarificación en el sentido difuso basado en la función de membresía inversa como proceso de identificación para un sistema tipo caja negra con Una Entrada y Una Salida (UEUS). La función signo y su derivada para la función gaussiana, permite la descripción matemática del estado a identificar. Específicamente, la función signo aplica la diferencia entre los valores absolutos de la variable de estado y su centroide, en vez de la desigualdad del triángulo. El resultado teórico estuvo aplicado en Matlab®, usando como valores de referencia a los resultados del modelo Auto-Regresivo de Promedios Móviles (ARPM) (1, 1); permitiendo la clarificación y su convergencia en casi todos los puntos a la señal de referencia con diferentes condiciones iniciales entre ellos. La convergencia de forma ilustrativa se describió por el funcional del error a través del segundo momento de probabilidad usando el mismo software.

1. Introduction
"The world is not black and white but only shades of gray." In 1965, Zadeh [1] wrote a seminal paper in which he introduced fuzzy sets with smooth boundaries. These sets are considered gray areas rather than black and white in contrast to classical sets, which form the basis of Boolean or binary logic. Fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic are convenient tools for handling imprecise, or unmolded data in intelligent decision-making systems. It has also found many applications in the areas of information sciences and control systems.
In many science areas, the identification process used internal system states for description, reconstruction or prediction. The techniques developed, give the average answer regarding its internal states such as the centroid method (in fuzzy logic) or the analytical methods based on stochastic gradient. The identification is known as clarification in the fuzzy logic sense [2]. The clarification methods according to performance have similar structures [3], and generate an equivalent signal compared with a reference, without indicating the associated properties [4]. The common strategies such as Gaussian Membership Function (GMF) and Polynomial Transformation (PT) are combined, obtaining better performance compared with the existing algorithms [5]. Another strategy is the distance between two fuzzy sets resulting in a clarification value without the index determining the original fuzzy number [6]. Control Theory (CT) suggests the Fuzzy Clarification Method (FCM) [7] instead of Least Squares Method (LSM) [8-9], Instrumental Variable (IV) [10-11], Forgetting Factor (FF) [12-13], Stochastic Gradient (SG) [14-17], Kalman Filter (KF) [18-19], and Deconvolution [20-23]. The control systems commonly have unwanted conditions or operations and the clarification process involved gives poor results because its average answer requires using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) with stability conditions applied during the identification process [24], obtaining better results in simulation [25-26]. In [27], a clarification algorithm was applied into a fuzzy adaptive controller deciding it necessary to know the internal state value, bounded by a GMF. The Membership Inverse Function (MIF) transforms the fuzzy results into identified states without indicating the technique used [28]. The statistical properties such as Mean, and Standard Deviation according to [27-32] accomplish the Main Membership Function (MMF).
The Membership Inverse Function (MIF) as a clarification process approximating this result to the real reference value.
According to previous results, we develop the clarification process for stochastic signals using the signal system sign function considered bounded by a Membership Gaussian Function (MGF). Section 2 gives the main results. Section 3, presents the simulations and in the conclusions are developed in Section 4 describing the advantages and the references applied.
2. Main results
The clarification process has a natural description using the sign function properties applied into Membership Gaussian Function (MGF) according to Theorem 1. Thus, the Black-box system response is described through the clarification process knowing only the Membership Function (MF) and its two first probability moments.

4. Conclusions
The output system bounded by a Membership Gaussian Function (MGF) required a novel clarification technique justified in (9). The model developed and applied considered eqs. (4) and (5) properties applied in (8). The defuzzification strategy used a unit vector concept and its derivate properties applied on Membership Function (MF), achieving the clarification strategy. The theoretical results were developed
by the stochastic system bounded by a Gaussian distribution. The identification process or clarification consists of the Membership Inverse Function (MIF) developed in an analytical manner in eq. (2) and validated theoretically in eq. (9).
Therefore, this description for the clarification process was based on Membership Gaussian Inverse Function (MGIF) with the sign function and its derivative properties, obtaining the description state.
