most of the researches in the domain of fuzzy number comparisons serve the fuzzy number ordering purpose. for making a comparison between two fuzzy numbers, beyond the determination of their order, it is needed to derive the magnitude of their order. in line with this idea, the concept of inequality is no longer crisp however it becomes fuzzy in the sense of representing partial belonging or de...

small polygroups are multi-valued systems that satisfy group-likeaxioms. using the notion of “belonging ($epsilon$)” and “quasi-coincidence (q)” offuzzy points with fuzzy sets, the concept of ($epsilon$, $epsilon$ $vee$ q)-fuzzy subpolygroups isintroduced. the study of ($epsilon$, $epsilon$ $vee$ q)-fuzzy normal subpolygroups of a polygroupare dealt with. characterization and some of the fundam...

in a fuzzy metric space (x;m; *), where * is a continuous t-norm,a locally fuzzy contraction mapping is de ned. it is proved that any locally fuzzy contraction mapping is a global fuzzy contractive. also, if f satis es the locally fuzzy contractivity condition then it satis es the global fuzzy contrac-tivity condition.

a‎s we know, developing mathematical models and numerical procedures that would appropriately treat and solve systems of linear equations where some of the system's parameters are proposed as fuzzy numbers is very important in fuzzy set theory. for this reason, many researchers have used various numerical methods to solve fuzzy linear systems. in this paper, we define the concepts of midpoint a...

This paper is devoted to introduce and investigate some weak forms of fuzzy open mappings, namely fuzzy faintly semi open (fuzzy faintly semi closed), fuzzy faintly preopen (fuzzy faintly preclosed), fuzzy faintly α-open (fuzzy faintly α-closed), fuzzy faintly semi preopen (fuzzy faintly semi preclosed) and fuzzy faintly spopen (fuzzy faintly spclosed) mappings and their fundamental properties ...

After the introduction of fuzzy sets by Zadeh [15] in 1965 and fuzzy topology by chang [4] in 1967. Several researches were conducted on the generalizations of the notions of fuzzy sets and fuzzy topology. The concept of intuitionistic fuzzy sets was introduced by Atanassov [1] as a generalization of fuzzy sets . In the last 20 years various concepts of fuzzy mathematics have been extended for ...

Quorum sensing is a decentralized biological process, by which a community of bacterial cells with no global awareness can coordinate their functional behaviors based only on local decision and cell-medium interaction. This thesis draws inspiration from quorum sensing to study the data clustering problem, in both the time-invariant and the time-varying cases. Borrowing ideas from both adaptive ...

This paper describes an implementation of the concept of conversational speech biometrics approach to personal authentication in telephony environment. An application independent module including a NL-enabled part for verbal veriication and identiication and an acoustic speaker recognition engine for voice-print analysis are combined using a special veriication/identication protocol which allow...

in this paper, we investigate the existence of a positive solution of fully fuzzy linear equation systems. this paper mainly to discuss a new decomposition of a nonsingular fuzzy matrix, the symmetric times triangular (st) decomposition. by this decomposition, every nonsingular fuzzy matrix can be represented as a product of a fuzzy symmetric matrix s and a fuzzy triangular matrix t.
