In this work a new fuzzy min-max neural network for color image segmentation, called FMMIS neural network, is proposed. The FMMIS algorithm uses seed pixels to grow hyperboxes, and a criterion of homogeneity for controlling the size of these hyperboxes. The algorithm has been implemented for 2D images and tested on the segmentation of live and dead knots in images of wood boards. On a test set,...

We introduce the concept of sandwich set of two fuzzy matrices.By using the new concept of sandwich set, we provide a method for finding a semi inverse of max-min product of fuzzy matrices. 1. Introduction Generalized inverse of matrices and its applications are studied by Rao and Mitra[3]. Ren et.al[4] introduced the concept of sandwich sets of matrices. By using the sandwich sets of matrices,...

This paper deals with fuzzy transshipment problem in which available commodity frequently moves from one source to another source before reaching its actual destination. Here Max – Min method is introduced to find initial feasible solution for the large scale fuzzy transshipment problem. Mathematics Subject Classification: 03E72

We introduce a new mechanism-design problem called fair imposition. In this setting a center wishes to fairly allocate tasks among a set of agents whose cost structures are known only to them, and thus will not reveal their true costs without appropriate incentives. The center, with the power to impose arbitrary tasks and payments on the agents, has the additional goal that his net payment to t...

In 1965, T. J. Willmore conjectured that the integral of the square of the mean curvature of a torus immersed in R is at least 2π. We prove this conjecture using the min-max theory of minimal surfaces.

We assess the behaviour of 5 different feature extraction methods for an acoustic event classification task—built using the same SVM underlying technology—by means of two different techniques: accuracy and the entropy triangle. The entropy triangle is able to find a classifier instance whose relatively high accuracy stems from an attempt to specialize in some classes to the detriment of the ove...
