Many methods have been adopted by shipping operators to evaluate, analyze and select ports of calls. Majority of these methods are generally based on evaluating different port performance criteria involved. The ports performance criteria are interrelated and are of a complex nature. Comparison of ports by different evaluation methods provides a basis for implementing operating strategies for...

The purpose of this work is to show that fuzzy Bernstein-Stancu operators introduced in [3] satisfy an A-statistical version of fuzzy Korovkin theorem. Some properties of these operators are also proved. An example of new fuzzy positive and linear operators is presented.

In this paper we highlight the specific meaning of images of fuzzy sets under fuzzy relations in the context of fuzzy topology. More precisely we show that fuzzy modifiers taking direct and superdirect images of fuzzy sets under fuzzy pre-orderings are respectively closure and interior operators, inducing fuzzy topologies. Furthermore we investigate under which conditions the same applies to th...

Methods for aggregating intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy information are investigated. Some operational laws of intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are introduced. Based on these operational laws, some aggregation operators, including intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (ITFOWA) operator and intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy hybrid aggregation (ITFHA) operator, are p...

The object of this paper is to introduce the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy continuous mappings and intuitionistic fuzzy bounded linear operators from one intuitionistic fuzzy n-normed linear space to another. Relation between intuitionistic fuzzy continuity and intuitionistic fuzzy bounded linear operators are studied and some interesting results are obtained.

In vector model, the boundary between features is stored and shown categorically in an absolute way, in other words Membership or non-membership of a point in each polygon is known which can be 0 or 1. For showing real world and its projection on map, because of the uncertainty on the border of the boundary between phenomena and spatial data, there is some uncertainty and vagueness in drawing a...

In this paper we use concepts from the lattice-based theory of morphological operators and fuzzy sets to develop generalized lattice image operators that can be expressed as nonlinear convolutions that are suprema or infima of fuzzy intersection or union norms. Our emphasis (and differences with previous works) is the construction of pairs of fuzzy dilation and erosion operators that form latti...

Fuzzy subgroups and T -vague groups are interesting fuzzy algebraic structures that have been widely studied. While fuzzy subgroups fuzzify the concept of crisp subgroup, T -vague groups can be identified with quotient groups of a group by a normal fuzzy subgroup and there is a close relation between both structures and T -indistinguishability operators (fuzzy equivalence relations). In this pa...
