Intelligent environments aim to maximize the user comfort and safety while achieving other objectives such as energy minimization. Intelligent shared spaces (such as homes, classrooms, offices, libraries, etc.) need to consider the preferences of users from diverse backgrounds. However, there are high levels of uncertainties faced in intelligent shared spaces. Hence, there is a need to employ i...

Abstract In this study, in order to prevent information loss, we propose two dissimilarity measures between intuitionistic fuzzy sets ( IFSs ), which consider membership and non-membership degree is farther extension of Fuzzy FSs ). Additionally, have examined the characteristics proposed metrics confirm their validity. We then conducted a series experiments, including numerical experimentation...

We consider some existing similarity measures for Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets (A-IFSs, for short). We show that neither similarity measures treating an A-IF as a simple interval values fuzzy set, nor straightforward generalizations of the similarity measures well-known for the classic fuzzy sets work under reasonable circumstances. Next, expanding upon our previous works, we consider ...

We exploit the fact that the classical Bernoulli systems are con-tractive iterated function systems (IFS) of affine type to prove a number of properties of the infinite Bernoulli convolution measures ν λ. We develop and use a new duality notion for affine IFSs. This duality is based on a natural transfer operator R W , and on an associated random walk process Px. We show that the absolute-squar...

Ozone modification method and air-oxidation were used for the surface treatment of polyacrylonitrile(PAN)-based carbon fiber. The surface characteristics of carbon fibers were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The interfacial properties of carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (CF/PA6) composites were investigated by means of the single fiber pull-out tests. As a result...

This paper presents a method for fast encoding of still images based on iterated function systems (IFSs). The major disadvantage of this coding approach, usually referred to as fractal coding, is the high computational effort of the encoding process compared to e.g. the JPEG algorithm [1]. This is mainly due to the costly “full search” of the transform parameters within a fractal codebook. We t...

We speed up the screening of a computer image compressed as an iterated function system (IFS) of affine transformations w1, . . ., wN . The idea is to avoid applying a given map to a given point if nothing new would be obtained. Let w(x, y) be the result of applying transformation w to pixel coordinates (x, y) then rounding to the nearest integer pair, say (u, v). Then the w-jigsaw pieces w−1(u...
