Applications of Fuzzy Orderings: An Overview
نویسنده
چکیده
This contribution aims at the dissemination of a similarity-based generalization of fuzzy orderings, however, not from a purely theoretical perspective, but from the viewpoint of possible practical applications. After a short motivation of similarity-based fuzzy orderings, we consider four case studies with the aim to illustrate the application potential of fuzzy orderings—flexible query answering systems, ordering-based modifiers, orderings of fuzzy sets, and interpretability of linguistic variables.

A Survey of Applications of Fuzzy Orderings: From Databases to Statistics and Machine Learning
This contribution provides an overview of practical applications of similarity-based fuzzy orderings. These applications include flexible database querying, robust statistics, natural language semantics, and fuzzy rulebased machine learning.
متن کاملSimilarity-Based Fuzzy Orderings: Recent Advances
Fuzzy orderings with reference to an underlying context of similarity were first defined by Höhle and Blanchard [9]. Since then, several authors have contributed to the development of this class of fuzzy relations, both from the theoretical and the practical side (e.g. [1–4, 7, 8]). Two problems remained open throughout several years: how to define strict fuzzy orderings and how to define lexic...
متن کاملOvercoming the Crispness of Fuzzy Orderings
This contribution, rstly, motivates the need for a new, indistin-guishability-based approach to fuzzy orderings 1]. The main part is devoted to the basic theory, especially constructions, representations, and properties of hulls. Moreover, a general approach to orderings of fuzzy sets is presented. The current work, however, already concentrates on applications in fuzzy control and decision mak...
متن کاملOn strict lower and upper sections of fuzzy orderings
Strict lower sections, strict upper sections and open order intervals (strict order intervals) are classical 9 notions associated to crisp orderings (crisp total preorders). In this paper, we extend these notions to fuzzy orderings. We determine all the fuzzy orderings (they contain all the crisp orderings) which make it possible 11 to compare two fuzzy strict lower sections and two fuzzy stric...
متن کاملA Similarity-Based Generalization of Fuzzy Orderings Preserving the Classical Axioms
Equivalence relations and orderings are key concepts of mathematics. For both types of relations, formulations within the framework of fuzzy relations have been proposed already in the early days of fuzzy set theory. While similarity (indistinguishability) relations have turned out to be very useful tools, e.g. for the interpretation of fuzzy partitions and fuzzy controllers, the utilization of...
