Fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic are a highly suitable and applicable basis for developing knowledge-based systems in physical education for tasks such as the selection for athletes, the evaluation for different training approaches, the team ranking, and the real-time monitoring of sports data. In this paper, we use fuzzy set theory and apply fuzzy clustering analysis in football team ranking. ...

With the advent of new web technology, Image Annotation and Classification has paved the way for invoking an efficient and effective research area as it is of immense importance in searching images from different categories of relevant images using keywords. This may be an impressive tool in describing image content as object or textual information to classify images. To serve this purpose, man...

In this paper a novel algorithm is proposed that integrates the process of fuzzy hierarchy generation and rule discovery for automated discovery of Production Rules with Fuzzy Hierarchy (PRFH) in large databases. A concept of frequency matrix (Freq) introduced to summarize large database that helps in minimizing the number of database accesses, identification and removal of irrelevant attribute...

In this paper, we consider the fuzzy Sylvester matrix equation AX + XB = C, where A ∈ Rn×n and B ∈ Rm×m are crisp M-matrices, C is an n×m fuzzy matrix and X is unknown. We first transform this system to an (mn)× (mn) fuzzy system of linear equations. Then we investigate the existence and uniqueness of a fuzzy solution to this system. We use the accelerated overrelaxation method to compute an ap...

This paper discusses fuzzification of crisp domains into fuzzy classes providing fuzzy domains. Relationship between two fuzzy domains, Xi and Xj , is represented by a matrix, wij . If Xi and Xj have n and m elements of fuzzy data, respectively, then wij is n × m matrix. Our primary goal in this paper is to generate and provide some formulas for predicting interval probability in the relation t...

Adding an additional degree of non-membership, K. T. Atanassov introduced the concept of the intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) set (IF-set), which has rarely been applied to the game theory yet. The aim of this paper is to develop the concept and methodology of matrix games with IF-set goals in which goals of players are expressed with IF-sets and payoffs are expressed with real numbers rather than IF-...

The linear system of equations Ax = b where A = [aij ] in Cn.n is a crispsingular matrix and the right-hand side is a fuzzy vector is called a singularfuzzy linear system of equations. In this paper, solving singular fuzzy linearsystems of equations using generalized inverses such as Drazin inverse andpseudo-inverse are investigated.

We consider a fuzzy linear system with crisp coefficient matrix and with an arbitrary fuzzy number in parametric form on the right-hand side. It is known that the well-known existence and uniqueness theorem of a strong fuzzy solution is equivalent to the following: The coefficient matrix is the product of a permutation matrix and a diagonal matrix. This means that this theorem can be applicable...

This paper introduces a set of comprehensive general reasoning rules about single faults based on a diagnostic matrix. The reasoning scheme unifies inference about faults based on a conventional binary diagnostic matrix, a twoand three-valued fault isolation system as well as on their fuzzy counterparts. There are introduced and defined notions of alternative and dominant fault signatures, fuzz...
