it is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. many different methods have been proposed to deal with ranking fuzzy numbers. constructing ranking indexes based on the centroid of fuzzy numbers is an important case. but some weaknesses are found in these indexes. the purpose of this paper is to give a new ranking index to rank vario...

binayak et al in [1] proved a fixed point of generalized kannan type-mappings in generalized menger spaces. in this paper we extend gen- eralized kannan-type mappings in generalized fuzzy metric spaces. then we prove a fixed point theorem of this kind of mapping in generalized fuzzy metric spaces. finally we present an example of our main result.

‎in this paper, a new class of fuzzy sets called fuzzy strongly ${{g}^{*}}$-closed sets is introduced and its properties are investigated. moreover, we study some more properties of this type of closed spaces.

Data are frequently not precise numbers but more or less non-precise, also called fuzzy. Moreover a-priori information in Bayesian inference is usually not available as a precise probability distribution. In case of fuzzy data and fuzzy a-priori information Bayes' theorem has to be generalized. There are different approaches for a generalization of Bayes' theorem but most of them don't keep the...

bilevel linear programming  is a decision making problem with a two-level decentralized organization. the textquotedblleft leadertextquotedblright~ is in the upper level and the textquotedblleft followertextquotedblright, in the lower. making a decision at one level affects that at the other one. in this paper, bilevel linear programming  with inexact parameters has been studied and a method is...

Received 17September 2013; accepted 5 October2013 L Baba Abstract. Finding shortest paths in graphs has been the area of interest for many researchers. Shortest paths are one of the fundamental and most widely used concepts in networks. In this paper the authors present an algorithm to find an Intuitionistic Fuzzy Shortest Path (IFSP) in a directed graph in which the cost of every edges are rep...

there are many situations for statistical process in which we have both random and vagueinformation. when uncertainty is due to fuzziness of information, fuzzy statistical control charts play animportant role in the monitoring process, because they simultaneously deal with both kinds of uncertainty.dealing with fuzzy characteristics using classical methods may cause the loss of information and ...
