This paper focusses on the investigation of a pattern recognition method based on the fuzzy integral. Until now this method has used a general fuzzy measure, which is characterized by exponential complexity. Naturally this led to some difficulties in practical applications of this pattern recognition method. In this paper, a heuristic algorithm for the identification of the 2-additive fuzzy mea...

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a popular and useful approach applied to examine potential failures in different products, designs, processes, and services. As a vital index, the risk priority number (RPN) can determine the risk priorities of failure modes by some risk factors such as occurrence (O), severity (S), and detection (D). However, in FMEA, the traditional risk priority nu...

Introducing more types of integrals will provide more choices todeal with various types of objectives and components in real problems. Firstly,in this paper, a (T) fuzzy integral, in which the integrand, the measure andthe integration result are all multi-valued, is presented with the introductionof T-norm and T-conorm. Then, some classical results of the integral areobtained based on the prope...

In this note, we study an approximation property of regular fuzzy neural network(RFNN). It is shown that any fuzzy-valued measurable function can be approximated by the four-layer RFNN in the sense of fuzzy integral norm for the finite sub-additive fuzzy measure on R.

Non-monotonic fuzzy measures induced by an intuitinistic fuzzy set are introduced. Then, using the Choquet integral with respect to the non-monotonic fuzzy measure, the weighted distance between two intuitionistic fuzzy sets is defined. As it will be shown here, under some conditions, the weighted distance coincides with the Hamming distance.

This paper will present a novel concept of expected values of fuzzy variables, which is essentially a type of Choquet integral and coincides with that of random variables. In order to calculate the expected value of general fuzzy variable, a fuzzy simulation technique is also designed. Finally, we construct a spectrum of fuzzy expected value models, and integrate fuzzy simulation, neural networ...

In this paper the fixed point theorem of Schauder is used to prove the existence of a continuous solution of the nonlinear fuzzy Volterra integral equations. Then using some conditions the uniqueness of the solution is investigated.

In this paper, we review two of the most well-known citation indexes and establish their connections with the Choquet and Sugeno integrals. In particular, we show that the recently established -index is a particular case of the Sugeno integral, and that the number of citations corresponds to the Choquet integral. In both cases, they use the same fuzzy measure. The results presented here permit ...
