ur aim of this  paper  is  to introduce the concept of $L$-double fuzzy rough sets in whichboth constructive and axiomatic approaches are used. In constructive approach, a pairof $L$-double fuzzy lower (resp. upper) approximation operators is defined  and the basic properties of them  are studied.From the viewpoint of the axiomatic approach, a set of axioms is constructed to characterize the $L...

Contrapositive symmetry (CPS) is a tautology in classical logic. In fuzzy logic, not all fuzzy implications have CPS with respect to a given strong negation. Given a fuzzy implication J , towards imparting contrapositive symmetry to J with respect to a strong negation N two techniques, viz., upper and lower contrapositivisation, have been proposed by Bandler and Kohout [Semantics of implication...

The comparison of protein structures is an important problem in bioinformatics. As a protein biological role is derived from its three dimensional native state, the comparison of a new protein structure (with unknown function) with other protein structures (with known biological activity) can shed light into the biological role of the former. Consequently, advances in the comparison (and cluste...

Words mean different things to different people, and so are uncertain. We, therefore, need a fuzzy set model for a word that has the potential to capture their uncertainties. In this paper I propose that an interval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2 FS) be used as a FS model of a word, because it is characterized by its footprint of uncertainty (FOU), and therefore has the potential to capture word uncerta...

in this paper, by means of fuzzy approaches, an accurate method is introduced for edging of color photographs. the difference between our method with other similar methods is the use of a morphological operation to think or thick the obtained edges. in this proposed method, a 3×3 window is dragged on the photo. for each block, 12 point sets will be defined, each including two non-overlapping po...

In this paper, countable compactness and the Lindel¨of propertyare defined for L-fuzzy sets, where L is a complete de Morgan algebra. Theydon’t rely on the structure of the basis lattice L and no distributivity is requiredin L. A fuzzy compact L-set is countably compact and has the Lindel¨ofproperty. An L-set having the Lindel¨of property is countably compact if andonly if it is fuzzy compact. ...

In recent times, intuitionistic fuzzy sets introduced by Atanassov has been one of the most powerful and flexible approaches for dealing with complex and uncertain situations of real world. In particular, the concept of divergence between intuitionistic fuzzy sets is important since it has applications in various areas such as image segmentation, decision making, medical diagnosis, pattern reco...
