The Bayesian reliability estimation under fuzzy environments is proposed in this paper. In order to apply the Bayesian approach, the fuzzy parameters are assumed to be fuzzy random variables with fuzzy prior distributions. The (conventional) Bayesian estimation method will be used to create the fuzzy Bayes point estimator of reliability by invoking the well-known theorem called ‘Resolution Iden...

Gauge theories provide the best known description of the fundamental forces in nature. At very short distances however, physics is not known, and it seems unlikely that spacetime is a perfect continuum down to arbitrarily small scales. Indeed, physicists have started to learn in recent years how to formulate field theory on quantized, or noncommutative spaces. However, most attempts to (second-...

Min-independence has been proved to be a sufficient condition of a vector of fuzzy random variables to be a fuzzy random vector. The objective of this paper is to study further on the independence condition for fuzzy random vector based on continuous triangular norms. We first discuss measurability criteria for fuzzy random vector, and present two more new equivalent formulations of the measura...

When we deal with the estimator of a parameter, it is important for us to find an estimator with minimum variance. For this reason, this paper discuss on the variance of fuzzy random variable. There are two different approaches to the definition of the variance of a fuzzy random variable. In the first one, the variance of the fuzzy random variable is defined as a crisp number by using defuzzifi...

In this paper, we investigate renewal theories in the T -independent random fuzzy environment based on the concept of fuzzy variable and random fuzzy variable. For special cases, we consider the case for T = min and T =Archimedean t-norm. Mathematics Subject Classification: 60A86

We survey possibilistic systems theory and place it in the context of Imprecise Probabilities and General Information Theory (git). In particular , we argue that possibilistic systems hold a distinct position within a broadly conceived, synthetic git. Our focus is on systems and applications which are semantically grounded by empirical measurement methods (statistical counting), rather than epi...

The present paper is devoted to the transition from crisp domains of probability to fuzzy domains of probability. First, we start with a simple transportation problem and present its solution. The solution has a probabilistic interpretation and it illustrates the transition from classical random variables to fuzzy random variables in the sense of Gudder and Bugajski. Second, we analyse the proc...

in this paper a network comprising alternative branching nodes with probabilistic outcomes is considered. in other words, network nodes are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. first, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of network. then, it is assumed that the duration of activities is positive trapezoidal fuzzy number (tfn). this paper com...
