A set-theoretic framework is proposed for granular computing. Each element of a universe is associated with a nonempty family of neighborhoods. A neighborhood of an element consists of those elements that are drawn towards that element by indistinguishability, similarity, proximity, or functionality. It is a granule containing the element. A neighborhood system is a family of granules, which is...

The $L$-fuzzy approximation operator associated with an $L$-fuzzy approximation space $(X,R)$ turns out to be a saturated $L$-fuzzy closure (interior) operator on a set $X$ precisely when the relation $R$ is reflexive and transitive. We investigate the relations between $L$-fuzzy approximation spaces and $L$-(fuzzy) topological spaces.

Abstract. We propose a semi-supervised fuzzy vector quantization method for the classification of incompletely labeled data. Since information contained within the structure of the data set should not be neglected, our method considers the whole data set during the learning process. In difference to known methods our approach uses neighborhood cooperativeness for stable prototype learning known...

Considering a commutative unital quantale L as the truth value table and using the tool of L-generalized convergence structures of stratified L-filters, this paper introduces a kind of fuzzy upper topology, called fuzzy S-upper topology, on L-preordered sets. It is shown that every fuzzy join-preserving L-subset is open in this topology. When L is a complete Heyting algebra, for every completel...

In this paper, we take a GL-quantale as the truth value table to study a new rough set model—L-valued fuzzy rough sets. The three key components of this model are: an L-fuzzy set A as the universal set, an L-valued relation of A and an L-fuzzy set of A (a fuzzy subset of fuzzy sets). Then L-valued fuzzy rough sets are completely characterized via both constructive and axiomatic approaches. 

This paper presents the concepts of $(L,M)$-fuzzy Q-convergence spaces and stratified $(L,M)$-fuzzy Q-convergence spaces. It is shown that the category of stratified $(L,M)$-fuzzy Q-convergence spaces is a bireflective subcategory of the category of $(L,M)$-fuzzy Q-convergence spaces, and the former is a Cartesian-closed topological category. Also, it is proved that the category of stratified $...

in this paper, we discuss the equivalent conditions of pretopological and topological $l$-fuzzy q-convergence structures and define $t_{0},~t_{1},~t_{2}$-separation axioms in $l$-fuzzy q-convergence space. {furthermore, $l$-ordered q-convergence structure is introduced and its relation with $l$-fuzzy q-convergence structure is studied in a categorical sense}.

Your Texture analysis is one of the most important techniques used in the analysis and interpretation of images, consisting of repetition or quasi repetition of some fundamental image elements. The present paper derived Fuzzy Triangular Greylevel Pattern (FTGP) to overcome the disadvantages of LBP and other local approaches. The FTGP is a 2 x 2 matrix that is derived from a 3 x 3 neighborhood m...
