Recently, Carlsson and Fuller [C. Carlsson, R. Fuller, On possibilistic mean value and variance of fuzzy numbers, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 122 (2001) 315–326] have introduced possibilistic mean, variance and covariance of fuzzy numbers and Fuller and Majlender [R. Fuller, P. Majlender, On weighted possibilistic mean and variance of fuzzy numbers, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 136 (2003) 363–374] have in...

This paper is a brief summary of “M.Takahashi, T.Murofushi, S.Asahina, A new necessary and sufficient condition for the Egoroff theorem in non-additive measure theory, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, to appear.” This paper states that a newly defined condition, called condition (M), is a necessary and sufficient condition for the Egoroff theorem in non-additive measure theory. The existing necessary an...

Orthopairs (pairs of disjoint sets) have points in common with many approaches to managing vaguness/uncertainty such as fuzzy sets, rough soft etc. Indeed, they are successfully employed address partial knowledge, consensus, and borderline cases. One the generalized versions orthopairs is intuitionistic sets which a well-known theory for researchers interested set theory. To extend area applica...

In this paper, we consider singular and degenerate parabolic equations$$u_t =(x^alpha u_x)_x +u^m (x_0,t)v^{n} (x_0,t),quadv_t =(x^beta v_x)_x +u^q (x_0,t)v^{p} (x_0,t),$$ in $(0,a)times (0,T)$, subject to nullDirichlet boundary conditions, where $m,n, p,qge 0$, $alpha, betain [0,2)$ and $x_0in (0,a)$. The optimal classification of non-simultaneous and simultaneous blow-up solutions is determin...

Let   a family of monomorphisms in the category A ‎To study mathematical notions in a category  A‎, ‎such as injectivity‎, ‎tensor products‎, ‎flatness‎, ‎with respect to a class M of its (mono)morphisms‎, ‎one should know some of the categorical properties of the pair (A ‎,M ‎)‎. ‎In this paper we take A to be the‎‎category  Pos-S  of S-partially ordered sets  and   to be a particular‎ class o...

Consider sets X and Y each with associated membership functions. Further suppose that there is a map f : X → Y . A membership may be induced onY from the membership ofX calculated using the extension principle, and the two memberships on Y may be combined to give an overall membership. The point with the highest membership in X can be determined directly or by back mapping the value with the hi...

The concept of upper and lower semicontinuity of fuzzy mappings introduced by Bao and Wu [Y.E. Bao, C.X. Wu, Convexity and semicontinuity of fuzzy mappings, Comput. Math. Appl., 51 (2006) 1809–1816] is redefined by using the concept of parameterized triples of fuzzy numbers. On the basis of the linear ordering of fuzzy numbers proposed by Goetschel and Voxman [R. Goetschel, W. Voxman, Elementar...

In (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 97 (1998) 33), we presented a fuzzy multipurpose decision making model integrating di4erent preference representations based on additive reciprocal fuzzy preference relations. The main aim of this paper is to complete the decision model studying conditions under which reciprocity property is maintained when aggregating preference relations using an OWA operator guided...

the aim of this paper is to initiate and investigate new soft sets over semihypergroups, named special soft sets and transitive soft sets and denoted by $s_{h}$ and  $t_{h},$ respectively. it is shown that $t_{h}=s_{h}$ if and only if $beta=beta^{*}.$ we also introduce the derived semihypergroup from a special soft set and study some properties of this class of semihypergroups.
