Relations between similarity-based systems, evaluating similarity to some prototypes, and fuzzy rule-based systems, aggregating values of membership functions, are investigated. Similarity measures based on information theory and probabilistic distance functions lead to a new type of membership functions applicable to symbolic data. Fuzzy membership functions on the other hand lead to a new typ...

Fuzzy numbers in number theory are a foundation of fuzzy sets and fuzzy mathematics that extend the domain of numbers from those of real numbers to fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy arithmetic is a system of fuzzy operations on fuzzy numbers. A theory of fuzzy arithmetic is presented towards a fuzzy mathematical structure for fuzzy inference and cognitive computation. The mathematical models of fuzzy number...

We construct a new solution of the BFSS matrix theory, which is a counterpart of the BIon solution representing a fundamental string ending on a bound state of a D2-brane and D0-branes. We call this new solution the ‘fuzzy BIon’ and show that this configuration preserves 1/4 supersymmetry of type IIA superstring theory. We also construct an effective action for the fuzzy BIon by analyzing the n...

In this paper an adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system based on interval Gaussian type-2 fuzzy sets in the antecedent part and Gaussian type-1 fuzzy sets as coefficients of linear combination of input variables in the consequent part is presented. The capability of the proposed method (we named ANFIS2) to function approximation and dynamical system identification is shown. The ANFIS2 structure ...

The shortest path problem (SPP) is one of the most important combinatorial optimization problems in graph theory due to its various applications. The uncertainty existing in the real world problems makes it difficult to determine the arc lengths exactly. The fuzzy set is one of the popular tools to represent and handle uncertainty in information due to incompleteness or inexactness. In most cas...

Using Greedy Clustering Method to Solve Capacitated Location-Routing Problem with Fuzzy Demands Abstract In this paper, the capacitated location routing problem with fuzzy demands (CLRP_FD) is considered. In CLRP_FD, facility location problem (FLP) and vehicle routing problem (VRP) are observed simultaneously. Indeed the vehicles and the depots have a predefined capacity to serve the customerst...

background and objectives: evaluating the performance of clinical units is critical for effective managementof health settings. certain assessment of clinical variables for performance analysis is not always possible,calling for use of uncertainty theory. this study aimed to develop and evaluate an integrated independentcomponent analysis-fuzzy-data envelopment analysis approach to accurate the...
