We study the monoid generalizationMk,1 of the Thompson-Higman groups, and we characterize the Rand the L-preorder ofMk,1. Although Mk,1 has only one non-zero J -class and k−1 non-zero D-classes, the Rand the L-preorder are complicated; in particular, <R is dense (even within an L-class), and <L is dense (even within an R-class). We study the computational complexity of the Rand the L-preorder. ...

The Rand index is a measure commonly used to compare crisp partitions. Campello (2007) and Hüllermeier and Rifqi (2009) respectively, proposed two extensions of this index capable to compare fuzzy partitions. These approaches are useful when continuous values of attributes are discretized using fuzzy sets. In previous works we experimented with these extensions and compared their accuracy with ...
