In this paper, we introduce an indexing method for accessing spatial databases. The index structure described here is multi-dimensional and is an extension of Multilevel Grid File (MLGF) combined with the z-ordering technique to efficiently handle indexing on the spatial components of the objects. The other important property of the proposed index structure is to be able to index on fuzzy infor...

We studied the Cauchy problem of fuzzy di erential equations on the basis of introducing the concept of di erentiation which is a generalization of the de nition of H-di erentiability due to Puri and Ralescu (1983), for fuzzy set-valued mappings of real variables whose values are in the fuzzy number space (E; D). The existence and uniqueness theorem is obtained for the Cauchy problem x′=f(t; x)...

In this paper we propose the extension of some aggregation or arithmetic operations between discrete fuzzy numbers to discrete fuzzy number-valued multisets such as the addition, the union and the intersection and, even, the order. For this reason, we prove or recall some properties of discrete fuzzy numbers and we undertake their study on multisets.

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study the fuzzy neighborhood, the limit fuzzy number, the convergent fuzzy sequence, the bounded fuzzy sequence, and the Cauchy fuzzy sequence on the base which is adopted by Abdul Hameed every real number r is replaced by a fuzzy number r either triangular fuzzy number or singleton fuzzy set fuzzy point . And then, we will consider that some results re...

Considering the fact that, in some cases, determining precisely the exact value of attributes is difficult and that their values can be considered as fuzzy data, this paper extends the TOPSIS method for dealing with fuzzy data, and an algorithm for determining the best choice among all possible choices when the data are fuzzy is also presented. In this approach, to identify the fuzzy ideal solu...

This paper presents a novel fuzzy identification method for dynamic modelling of quadrotor UAVs. The method is based on a special parameterization of the antecedent part of fuzzy systems that results in fuzzy-partitions for antecedents. This antecedent parameter representation method of fuzzy rules ensures upholding of predefined linguistic value ordering and ensures that fuzzy-partitions remai...

in this paper we enumerate fuzzy subgroups, up to a natural equivalence, of some finite abelian p-groups of rank two where p is any prime number. after obtaining the number of maximal chains of subgroups, we count fuzzy subgroups using inductive arguments. the number of such fuzzy subgroups forms a polynomial in p with pleasing combinatorial coefficients. by exploiting the order, we label the s...

recently, abbasbandy and asady have been proposed a modificationof the distance based approach, namely ``sign distance method''.however, in this paper, it is shown that this method has some drawbacks, i.e.,the result is not consistent with human intuition for specialcases and this method cannot always logically infer rankingorder of the images of the fuzzy numbers. in this paper, wepresent a re...

Some specific methods with applications in biology, ecology and related natural sciences will be presented. The stress will be on less known methods with a wide potential in applications. In the first part, correspondences between two sets will be considered as a tool for investigating various connections among their elements. One of the sets is called the set of objects and another is the set ...

In this article, a multi objective model is presented to select and allocate the order to suppliers in uncertainty condition and in a multi source, multi customer and multiproduct case in a multi period state at two levels of supply chain. Objective functions considered in this study as the measures to evaluate suppliers are cost including purchase, transportation and ordering costs, timely del...
