Color is the most important properties for object discrimination. It is an object component that adds a new dimension to the machine vision. The color images on low devices are displayed having limited number of colors called as color palette reduction to cut down the storage requirements. In this paper we investigate the problem of averaging aggregation functions to select the appropriate func...

Aggregation functions, which compute global parameters, such as the sum, minimum or average of local device variables, are needed for many network monitoring and management tasks. As networks grow larger and become more dynamic, it is crucial to compute these functions in a scalable and robust manner. To this end, we have developed GAP (Generic Aggregation Protocol), a novel protocol that compu...

This paper studies a class of multi-self decision-making models proposed in economics, psychology, and marketing. In this class, choices arise from the set-dependent aggregation of a collection of utility functions, where the aggregation procedure satisfies some simple properties. We propose a method for characterizing the extent of irrationality in a choice behavior, and use this measure to pr...

Aggregation operators for linguistic variables usually assume a uniform and symmetrical distribution of the linguistic terms that define the variable. This paper defines the Induced Unbalanced Linguistic Ordered Weighted Average (IULOWA). This aggregator takes into account the fuzzy membership functions of the terms during the aggregation operations of the pairs of terms. There is no restrictio...

This paper investigates two aspects of using Fuzzy Logic with a GIS: The use of non-conventional aggregation operators for conjunctive and disjunctive reasoning and the use of weights when combining aggregates of different significance to the classification. Two methods of weighting are used, weights as powers of the membership functions, and the novel concept of membership functions that take ...

We study the moments and the distribution of the discrete Choquet integral when regarded as a real function of a random sample drawn from a continuous distribution. Since the discrete Choquet integral includes weighted arithmetic means, ordered weighted averaging functions, and lattice polynomial functions as particular cases, our results encompass the corresponding results for these aggregatio...

INTRODUCTION Normal platelet functions are critical for achieving primary haemostasis. Numerous medications have been shown to affect platelet functions. Pyridostigmine (Mestinon), an orally active cholinesterase inhibitor that is commonly used to treat myasthenia gravis has been documented to cause epistaxis and prolonged bleeding after a cut in anectodal reports. This study was initiated afte...

Aggregation of individual mental models to obtain shared for an organization is a crucial process organizational learning. This aggregation usually depends on several context factors that may vary over circumstances. It explored how Boolean functions these can be used model this form adaptation. For adaptation connections (represented by first-order self-model states), second-order adaptive sel...

Recently, some new types of monotonicity—in particular, weak monotonicity and directional an n-ary real function—were introduced successfully applied. Inspired by these generalizations monotonicity, we introduce a notion for functions acting on [0,1]n, namely, the shift stability. This property extends standard invariantness (difference scale invariantness), which can be seen as particular The ...
