In this paper, we proposed a new interval-valued approximation of interval-valued fuzzy numbers, which is the best one with respect to a certain measure of distance between interval-valued fuzzy numbers. Also, a set of criteria for interval-valued approximation operators is suggested.

In this paper we study generic expansions of logics of continuous t-norms with truth-constants, taking advantage of previous results for Lukasiewicz logic and more recent results for Gödel and Product logics. Indeed, we consider algebraic semantics for expansions of logics of continuous t-norms with a set of truth-constants {r | r ∈ C}, for a suitable countable C ⊆ [0, 1], and provide a full de...

this research presents a dynamic mathematical system for modeling and simulating the quality management process in construction projects. through sets of cause and effect feedback loops, all factors that internally and externally affect the quality management process are addressed. the proposed system integrates fuzzy logic with system dynamics simulation scheme to consider the uncertainties as...

We estimate the norms of standard Gaussian random Toeplitz and circulant matrices and their inverses, mostly by means of combining some basic techniques of linear algebra. In the case of circulant matrices we obtain sharp probabilistic estimates, which show that these matrices are expected to be very well conditioned. Our probabilistic estimates for the norms of standard Gaussian random Toeplit...

We present an agent-based model designed to study the cultural evolution of age-at-marriage norms. We review theoretical arguments and empirical evidence on the existence of norms proscribing marriage outside of an acceptable age interval. Using a definition of norms as constraints built in agents, we model the transmission of norms, and of mechanisms of intergenerational transmission of norms....

Recently the question of standard completeness of MTL and its extensions were deeply studied. Jenei and Montagna showed that MTL logic satisfies standard completeness theorem (see [6]). In [2], the authors studied standard completeness of ΠMTL which is an axiomatic extension of MTL logic where the conjunction is interpreted by a left-continuous cancellative t-norm. They showed that ΠMTL logic i...
