Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) are used to support decision-making, and the decision processes are performed by inference of FCMs. The inference greatly depends on activation functions such as sigmoid function, hyperbolic tangent function, step function, and threshold linear function. However, the sigmoid functions widely used for decision-making processes have been designed by experts. Therefore, we propose a method for designing sigmoid functions through Lyapunov stability analysis. We show the usefulness of the proposed method through the experimental results in inference of FCMs using the designed sigmoid functions.
