In this paper we propose computationally simple, pointwise formulas for extended t-norms and t-conorms on fuzzy truth values. The complex convolutions of the extended operations are shown to be equivalent to simple pointwise expressions for several special cases. Linear fuzzy truth values are defined and it is shown that the extended Łukasiewicz operations preserve linearity. Since linear fuzzy...

This paper focuses on the possible embedding of the uncertainty regarding the colors of an image into histogramtype descriptors. The uncertainty naturally arises from both the quantization of the color components and the human perception of colors. Fuzzy histograms measure the typicality of each color within the image. We define various fuzzy color histograms following a taxonomy that classifie...

in this paper, we study the existence, asymptotic behavior of the positive solutions of a fuzzy nonlinear difference equation$$ x_{n+1}=frac{ax_n+x_{n-1}}{b+x_{n-1}}, n=0,1,cdots,$$ where $(x_n)$ is a sequence of positive fuzzy number, $a, b$ are positive fuzzy numbers and the initial conditions $x_{-1}, x_0$ are positive fuzzy numbers.

The main contribution of this paper is to introduce an autonomous definition of the connective “fuzzy exclusive or” (fuzzy Xor, for short), which is independent from others connectives. Also, two canonical definitions of the connective Xor are obtained from the composition of fuzzy connectives, and based on the commutative and associative properties related to the notions of triangular norms, t...

Fuzzy rule based classification systems are one of the most popular fuzzy modeling systems used in pattern classification problems. This paper investigates the effect of applying nine different T-norms in fuzzy rule based classification systems. In the recent researches, fuzzy versions of confidence and support merits from the field of data mining have been widely used for both rules selecting ...

Contour lines totally fix the structure of leftcontinuous t-norms. For each t-norm, these contour lines are determined by the corresponding residual implicator. Most properties involving residual implicators can now easily be translated into properties involving contour lines. As the portation law expresses associativity, we dispose of a powerful tool for constructing left-continuous t-norms. I...
