This paper presents a new method for document retrieval using fuzzy-valued concept networks, where the relevant degrees between the concepts in a fuzzy-valued concept network are represented by arbitrary shapes of fuzzy numbers. There are two kinds of relevant relationships between any two concepts in a fuzzy-valued concept network, i.e., fuzzy positive association and fuzzy negative associatio...

d Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Swat, Swat, Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, Pakistan ABSTRACT The concept of interval-valued fuzzy set is one of the most important and useful generalisation of Zadeh's fuzzy sets which is successfully applied by engineers and scientists in the field of Robotics, Control Theory and Computer Engineering. In this paper, we introduce new and useful ge...

In this paper the notions of bipolar valued fuzzy subsemigroup, bipolar valued fuzzy bi-ideal, bipolar valued fuzzy (1,2)ideal and bipolar valued fuzzy ideal in a Γ-semigroup have been introduced. Some important characterizations are also obtained. Mathematics Subject Classification: 20M12, 03F55, 03E72

We continue to develop a construction of an L-fuzzy valued measure by extending a measure defined on a σalgebra of crisp sets to an L-fuzzy valued measure defined on a TM-tribe in the case when operations with L-sets and L-fuzzy numbers are defined by using the minimum triangular norm TM . We introduce an L-fuzzy valued integral over an L-set with respect to an L-fuzzy valued measure, consider ...

In this paper, we extend the concept of set-valued fuzzy measures (introduced and studied by Guo and Zhang [2004. On set-valued fuzzy measures. Information Sciences 160 (2004) 13–25]) to the class of multivalued set functions taking values in the family of non-empty closed subsets of a real normed space. Also, we introduce the notions of atom and non-atomicity of a multivalued set function and ...

The notion of a rough set was originally proposed by Pawlak [Z. Pawlak, Rough sets, International Journal of Computer and Information Sciences 11 (5) (1982) 341–356]. Later on, Dubois and Prade [D. Dubois, H. Prade, Rough fuzzy sets and fuzzy rough sets, International Journal of General System 17 (2–3) (1990) 191–209] introduced rough fuzzy sets and fuzzy rough sets as a generalization of rough...

In 1965, in his pioneer paper L.A. Zadeh [9] introduced the concept of fuzzy set to handle the uncertainties in our daily life. After that many generalizations of fuzzy sets are presented, for example, interval valued fuzzy sets [10] and intuitionistic fuzzy sets [1]. Fuzzy sets are extremely useful to solve many problems in applied mathematics, information sciences and theory of automata [2]. ...

Abstract: In this paper a non-repairable multi-state system with imprecise probabilities and performance rates are taken, representing imprecise probabilities by interval valued probabilities. These intervals are evaluated by computing bound of interval valued ordinary differential equation of the system. For imprecise performance rates random fuzzy variables are introduced. The proposed method...

We develope a construction of an L-fuzzy valued measure by extending a measure defined on a σ-algebra of crisp sets to an L-fuzzy valued TM-countably additive measure defined on a TMclan of L-fuzzy sets in the case when operations for L-fuzzy sets and L-fuzzy real numbers are based on the minimum t-norm TM. Keywords— L-fuzzy set, L-fuzzy real number, L-fuzzy valued measure.

The relationship between the intuitionistic fuzzy sets and the algebraic hyperstructures is described in this paper. The concept of the quasi-coincidence of an intuitionistic fuzzy interval valued with an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set is introduced and this is a natural generalization of the quasi-coincidence of an intuitionistic fuzzy point in intuitionistic fuzzy sets. By using thi...
