In reply to Péter Majlender, the connection between the (maximum spread) equidifferent OWA operator weights and the analytical method for the minimum variance OWA operator problem [R. Fullér, P. Majlender, On obtaining minimal variability OWA operator weights, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 136 (2003) 203–215] is pointed out and the differences between them are clarified. 2006 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract Let $$g(z)=\int _0^zp(t)\exp (q(t))\,dt+c$$ g ( z ) = ∫ 0 p t exp q ...

The measurable list chromatic number of a graph G is the smallest number ξ such that if each vertex v of G is assigned a set L(v) of measure ξ in a fixed atomless measure space, then there exist sets c(v) ⊆ L(v) such that each c(v) has measure one and c(v) ∩ c(v′) = ∅ for every pair of adjacent vertices v and v′. We provide a simpler proof of a measurable generalization of Hall’s theorem due to...

For a set of distances D = {d1, . . . , dk} a set A is called D-avoiding if no pair of points of A is at distance di for some i. We show that the density of A is exponentially small in k provided the ratios d1/d2, d2/d3, . . . , dk−1/dk are all small enough. This resolves a question of Székely, and generalizes a theorem of Furstenberg-Katznelson-Weiss, Falconer-Marstrand, and Bourgain. Several ...

In 1914 Constantin Carathéodory gave his definition of a measurable set, a definition that is crucial in the general theory of integration. This is because a “primitive” notion of area or measure, on a smaller family of sets, can be extended to the larger family of measurable sets, and it is this larger family that has the necessary properties for a natural and complete theory of integration. T...

We reformulate Mesiar’s hypothesis [Possibility measures, integration and fuzzy possibility measures, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 92 (1997) 191196], which as such was shown to be untrue by Murofushi [Two-valued possibility measures induced by σ-finite σ-additive measures, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 126 (2002) 265268]. We prove that a two-valued σ-maxitive measure can be induced by a σ-additive measure u...

It is shown that, for any spatial frame L (i.e., L is a complete lattice generated by the set of all prime elements), both the specialization L-preorder of L-topological spaces introduced by Lai and Zhang [Fuzzy preorder and fuzzy topology, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 157 (2006) 1865–1885] and that of L-fuzzifying topological spaces introduced by Fang and Qiu [Fuzzy orders and fuzzifying topologies,...

In 2011, Mallozzi et al. [Fuzzy Sets and Systems 165(2011) 98105] introduced a core-like concept (called F-core) and a balanced-like condition for games in which the worth of any coalition is given by means of a fuzzy interval. They proved that a balanced-like condition is necessary but not sufficient enough to guarantee the F-core to be non-empty. In this paper, we study deeply on this problem...
