lthough fuzzy set theory and  sheaf theory have been developed and studied independently,  ulrich hohle shows that a large part of fuzzy set  theory  is in fact a subfield of sheaf theory. many authors have studied mathematical structures, in particular, algebraic structures, in both  categories of these generalized (multi)sets. using hohle's idea, we show that for a (universal) algebra $a$, th...

This paper presents research on applications of fuzzy logic and higher-order fuzzy logic systems to control filters reducing air pollution [1]. The filters use Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) method and, as for now, this process is controlled manually by a human expert. The goal of the research is to control an SCR system responsible for emission of nitrogen oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide ...

An order relation, which satisfies the axioms of a partial ordering, is defined on the set of general fuzzy numbers. An L fuzzy number is defined as a fuzzy numbcr specialized to a certain extent, and fundamental linear operations are introduced on the set of the L fuzzy numbers. After that, characterization theorems of the order among the L fuzzy numbers is given in terms of the parameters of ...

based on credibilistic value-at-risk (cvar) of regularfuzzy variable, we introduce a new cvar reduction method fortype-2 fuzzy variables. the reduced fuzzy variables arecharacterized by parametric possibility distributions. we establishsome useful analytical expressions for mean values and secondorder moments of common reduced fuzzy variables. the convex properties of second order moments with ...

In this paper, we consider fuzzy inventory with backorder. First, we fuzzify the storing cost a, backorder cost b, cost of placing an order c, total demand r, order quantity q, and shortage quantity s as the triangular fuzzy numbers in the total cost. From these, we can obtain the fuzzy total cost. Using the signed distance method to defuzzify, we get the estimate of the total cost in the fuzzy...

This paper presents a flexible querying system of fuzzy RDF annotations which consists in translating fuzzy RDF annotations into fuzzy conceptual graphs and using an “approximate”-projection operation in order to compare fuzzy query graphs with fuzzy annotation graphs. The fuzzy sets in the query graphs having a semantic of preferences are compared with the fuzzy sets in the annotation graphs h...

A shortest path problem is a practical issue in networks for real-world situations. This paper addresses the fuzzy shortest path (FSP) problem to obtain the best fuzzy path among fuzzy paths sets. For this purpose, a new efficient algorithm is introduced based on a new definition of ideal fuzzy sets (IFSs) in order to determine the fuzzy shortest path. Moreover, this algorithm is developed for ...
