The concept of fuzzy set was introduced by Zadeh in his classical paper [1]. This concept provides a natural foundation for treating mathematically the fuzzy phenomena, which exist pervasively in our real world, and for building new branches of fuzzy mathematics. In the area of Fuzzy Topology, introduced by Chang [2], much attention has been paid to generalize the basic concepts of General Topo...

In this paper we deal with the problem of extending Zadeh's operators on fuzzy sets (FSs) to interval-valued (IVFSs), set-valued (SVFSs) and type-2 (T2FSs) fuzzy sets. Namely, it is known that seeing FSs as SVFSs, or T2FSs, whose membership degrees are singletons is not order-preserving. We then describe a family of lattice embeddings from FSs to SVFSs. Alternatively, if the former singleton vi...

T is my great pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural I issue of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON FUZZY SYSTEMS. Many of you are probably quite familiar with the basic ideas underlying fuzzy sets and systems that utilize fuzzy models. However, there will also be readers who are looking at the contents of this issue, wondering what it’s all about. For this latter group, the papers in this first issue m...

The paper deals with the concept of semicompactness in the generalized setting of a fuzzy topological space. We achieve a number of characterizations of a fuzzy semicompact space. The notion of semicompactness is further extended to arbitrary fuzzy sets. Such fuzzy sets are formulated in different ways and a few pertinent properties are discussed. Finally we compare semicompact fuzzy sets with ...

In this paper the concept of interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft topological space(IVIFS topological space) together with interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft open sets(IVIFS open sets) and interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft closed sets(IVIFS closed sets) are introduced. We define neighbourhood of an IVIFS set, interior IVIFS set, interior of an IVIFS set, exterior IVIFS set, ...

The concept of soft ideal was first introduced by Kandil et al. [13]. In 1999, Molodtsov [22] introduced the concept of soft sets as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertain objects. The concept of generalized closed soft sets in soft topological spaces was introduced by Kannan [15] in 2012. The notions of supra soft topological space were first introduced by Kandil et al. [14]. I...

Park et al. (2011) introduced the concept of generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets, which can be seen as an effective mathematical tool to deal with uncertainties. In this paper, the concept of generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft equality is introduced and some related properties are derived. It is proved that generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft equality is congruence relation with res...
