We apply random set theory to an analysis of future climate change. Bounds on cumulative probability are used to quantify uncertainties in natural and socio-economic factors that influence estimates of global mean temperature. We explore the link of random sets to lower envelopes of probability families bounded by cumulative probability intervals. By exploiting this link, a random set for a sim...

R d with a Lévy density given by c|x| 1{|x|<1} for some constant c. In this paper we study the potential theory of truncated symmetric stable processes in detail. We prove a Harnack inequality for nonnegative harmonic nonnegative functions these processes. We also establish a boundary Harnack principle for nonnegative functions which are harmonic with respect to these processes in bounded conve...

The large-scale integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) brings huge challenges to the power system. A cost-effective reserve deployment and uncertainty pricing mechanism are critical deal with variability RES. To this end, paper proposes a novel locational marginal in day-ahead market for managing uncertainties from Firstly, an improved multi-ellipsoidal set (IMEUS) considering temporal ...

The aim of this research is to develop a strat­ egy of reasoning under uncertainty in the context of the Fuzzy Inductive Reasoning methodology. This methodology allows the prediction of systems behavior by means of two different schemes. The first one corre­ sponds to a pattern prediction scheme, based exclusively on pattern rules. The second one corresponds to a purely Sugeno infer­ ence syste...

Background: This study explored the role of collective-affirmation in attracting mass cooperation to motivate people to observe preventive measures during COVID-19. Method: Using a qualitative research design, a heterogeneous sample (N = 32) comprising postgraduate (n = 10) and doctorates (n = 22) was chosen and the data was collected through semi-structured interviews. The interview contents ...

In this paper, we describe an extension of an automatic road extraction procedure developed for single SAR images towards multiaspect SAR images. Extracted information from multi-aspect SAR images is not only redundant and complementary, in some cases even contradictory. Hence, multi-aspect SAR images require a careful selection within the fusion step. In this work, a fusion step based on proba...

Z. Takáč in [16] introduced the aggregation operators on any subalgebra of M (set of all fuzzy membership degrees of the type-2 fuzzy sets, that is, the functions from [0,1] to [0,1]). Furthermore, he applied the Zadeh’s extension principle (see [24]) to obtain in [16, 17] a set of aggregation operators on L* (the strongly normal and convex functions of M). In this paper, we introduce the aggre...

R d with a Lévy density given by c|x| 1{|x|<1} for some constant c. In this paper we study the potential theory of truncated symmetric stable processes in detail. We prove a Harnack inequality for nonnegative harmonic nonnegative functions of these processes. We also establish a boundary Harnack principle for nonnegative functions which are harmonic with respect to these processes in bounded co...

Default reasoning can provide a means of deriving plausible semantic conclusion under imprecise and contradictory information in forensic visual surveillance. In such reasoning under uncertainty, proper uncertainty handling formalism is required. A discrete species of Bilattice for multivalued default logic demonstrated default reasoning in visual surveillance. In this article, the authors pres...
