Following the idea of $L$-fuzzy neighborhood system as introduced byFu-Gui Shi, and its generalization to $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood system, the relationship between  $(L,M)$-fuzzy topology and $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood system will be further studied. As an application of the obtained results, we will describe the initial structures of $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood subspaces and $(L,M)$-fuzzy top...

The Constraint Hierarchy (CH) framework is used to tackle multiple criteria selection (MCS), consisting of a set of candidates and a set of, possibly competing, criteria for selecting the \best" candidate(s). In this paper, we identify aspects of the CH framework for further enhancement so as to model and solve MCS problems more accurately. We propose the Fuzzy Constraint Hierarchies framework,...

The aim of this paper is to study the categorical relations betweenmatroids, Goetschel-Voxman’s fuzzy matroids and Shi’s fuzzifying matroids.It is shown that the category of fuzzifying matroids is isomorphic to that ofclosed fuzzy matroids and the latter is concretely coreflective in the categoryof fuzzy matroids. The category of matroids can be embedded in that offuzzifying matroids as a simul...

We prove that in a certain class E of nonseparable Banach spaces the norm topology of the dual ball is definable in terms of its weak∗ topology. Thus, if X, Y ∈ E and f : BX∗ −→ BY ∗ is a weak ∗-to-weak∗ homeomorphism, then f is automatically norm-to-norm continuous.

We prove that a continuous linear operator T on a topological vector space X with weak topology is mixing if and only if the dual operator T ′ has no finite dimensional invariant subspaces. This result implies the characterization of hypercyclic operators on the space ω due to Herzog and Lemmert and implies the result of Bayart and Matheron, who proved that for any hypercyclic operator T on ω, ...

The topology of weak lensing fields is studied using the 2-dimensional genus statistic. Simulated fields of the weak lensing convergence are used to focus on the effect of nonlinear gravitional evolution and to model the statistical errors expected in observational surveys. For large smoothing angles, the topology is in agreement with the predictions from linear theory. On smoothing angles smal...

This paper presents an original definition of data representativeness. The representativeness of each datum in a dataset is a meaningful notion quantified by a degree computed by aggregating fuzzy subsets. These fuzzy subsets are obtained by fuzzifying data in a robust way. We illustrate the usefulness of the representativeness by presenting applications for statistical location estimation,and ...

In this paper, the fuzzy nonlinear programming problem is discussed. In order to obtain more accurate solution, the properties of fuzzy set and fuzzy number with linear membership function and fuzzy maximum decision maker is utilized to fuzzifying the crisp problem . An example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
