چکیده

In the previous years some authors have been elaborating on the measurementtheoretic foundations of fuzzy set theory. A well-known problem in this approach is the difficult applicability of the deterministically formulated axioms on data obtained from an expert (or social science data in general). In this paper a statistical method is proposed which can be used for the testing of measurement axioms in a pairwise comparison design. Consequently we apply this method for the testing of two of these axioms (i.e. Transitivity and Order of Operations) used in the context of fuzzy set theory. The results clearly indicate that subjects act in agreement with Transitivity, but, for Order of Operations there is no such vivid evidence, which may have repercussions for some of the earlier theoretical work.

SOME SIMILARITY MEASURES FOR PICTURE FUZZY SETS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

In this work, we shall present some novel process to measure the similarity between picture fuzzy sets. Firstly, we adopt the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets and picture fuzzy sets. Secondly, we develop some similarity measures between picture fuzzy sets, such as, cosine similarity measure, weighted cosine similarity measure, set-theoretic similar...

AN INDUCTIVE FUZZY DIMENSION

Using a system of axioms among with a modified definition of boundary on the basis of the intuitionistic fuzzy sets, we formulate an inductive structure for the dimension of fuzzy spaces which has been defined by Coker. This new definition of boundary allows to characterize an intuitionistic fuzzy clopen set as a set with zero boundary. Also, some critical properties and applications are establ...

Degrees of M-fuzzy families of independent L-fuzzy sets

The present paper studies fuzzy matroids in view of degree. First wegeneralize the notion of $(L,M)$-fuzzy independent structure byintroducing the degree of $M$-fuzzy family of independent $L$-fuzzysets with respect to a mapping from $L^X$ to $M$. Such kind ofdegrees is proved to satisfy some axioms similar to those satisfiedby $(L,M)$-fuzzy independent structure. ...
