Abstract There are numerous words across languages expressing similarity or indistinguishability. In this paper, three types of expressions in German and English compared— ähnlich / similar , so/such gleich same . They differ a number respects, one them being gradability: While ähnlich/similar gradable, as well gleich/same not. The analysis paper starts from the so demonstrative (instead identi...

Aim The rate at which similarity in species composition decays with increasing distance was investigated among communities of parasitic helminths in different populations of the same host species. Rates of distance decay in similarity of parasite communities were compared between populations of fish and mammal hosts, which differ with respect to their vagility and potential to disperse parasite...

In this contribution, we first introduce the concept of metrical T-norm-based similarity measure for hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) {by using the concept of T-norm-based distance measure}. Then,the relationship of the proposed {metrical T-norm-based} similarity {measures} with the {other kind of information measure, called the metrical T-norm-based} entropy measure {is} discussed. The main feature ...
