The aim of this paper is to develop an effective method for solving matrix games with payoffs of triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) which are arbitrary. In this method, it always assures that players’ gain-floor and loss-ceiling have a common TFN-type fuzzy value and hereby any matrix game with payoffs of TFNs has a TFN-type fuzzy value. Based on duality theorem of linear programming (LP) and the ...

Introducing rough sets in hesitant fuzzy set domain and using it for the various applications would open up new possibilities in rough set theory. For this purpose the notion of hesitant fuzzy relations is introduced. The foundation of equivalence hesitant fuzzy relation is laid. Definition of anti-reflexive kernel, symmetric kernel etc. is proposed and the formulae to evaluate them are derived...

Software estimation accuracy is among the greatest challenges for software developers. This study aimed at building and evaluating a neuro-fuzzy model to estimate software projects development time. The forty-one modules developed from ten programs were used as dataset. Our proposed approach is compared with fuzzy logic and neural network model and Results show that the value of MMRE (Mean of M...

Coevolutionary algorithms have received increased attention in the past few years within the domain of evolutionary computation. In this paper we combine the search power of coevolutionary computation with the expressive power of fuzzy systems, presenting Fuzzy CoCo: Fuzzy Cooperative Coevolution. We demonstrate the efficacy of Fuzzy CoCo by applying it to two hard problems—plant classification...

This paper studies probability problems of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and the belief structure of general intuitionistic fuzzy information systems. First, for some special intuitionistic fuzzy sets, a probability is defined by using the integral operations on the level sets, and its properties are discussed. Then using this probability, a mass function of an intuitionistic fuzzy information syst...

The management of uncertainty and imprecision is becoming more and more important in knowledge-based systems. Fuzzy logic provides a systematic basis for representing and inferring with this kind of knowledge. This paper describes an approach for fuzzy inference based on an uncertainty forward propagation method and a change in the granularity of the elements involved. The proposed model is abl...

in this paper, a location allocation (la) problem in construction and demolition (c&d;) waste management (wm) is studied. a bi-level model for this problem under a fuzzy random environment is presented where the upper level is the governments who sets up the processing centers, and the lower level are the administrators of different construction projects who control c&d; waste and the after tre...

It is firstly proved that the multi-input-single-output (MISO) fuzzy systems based on interval-valued $R$- and $S$-implications can approximate any continuous function defined on a compact set to arbitrary accuracy.  A formula to compute the lower upper bounds on the number  of interval-valued fuzzy sets needed to achieve a pre-specified approximation  accuracy for an arbitrary multivariate con...

Knowledge systems are characterized by being active, uncertain and adaptive in pervasive computing environments, and Fuzzy Event-Condition-Action (ECA) rules can effectively describe these features of knowledge systems. To analyze the static structure and dynamic behavior of fuzzy ECA rules, a fuzzy colored time Petri net model (FCTPN) is proposed. The FCTPN is able to model the fuzzy ECA rules...
