Finite sets are one of the most fundamental mathematical structures. In the absence of the axiom of choice there are many different inequivalent definitions of finite even in classical logic. When we allow incomplete existence as in fuzzy sets the situation gets even more complicated. This paper gives nine distinct definitions of finite in a fuzzy context together with examples showing how the ...

We explore a notion of fuzzy T -neighbourhood spaces, for any continuous triangular norm T , and we present on this notion a uni6ed treatment. Our theory, on one hand, generalizes the theory of Lowen (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 7 (1982) 65) from T =Min to arbitrary T , which has been the progenitor of this work, and on the other hand it is strongly related to the theory of L-neighbourhoods of H; oh...

The development and maintenance of software reliability enjoys a high priority in the evolution of modern computer technology. Over the last three decades or so, a tremendous amount of research has gone into the theory and practice of producing reliable software. Given the many subjective factors that in3uence software reliability, it is surprising that very little of this research has been dir...

This paper deals with the simplest fuzzy PID controllers which employ two fuzzy sets for each of the three input variables and four fuzzy sets for the output variable. Mathematical model for a fuzzy PID controller is derived by using asymmetric Γ-function type and L-function type membership functions for each input, asymmetric trapezoidal membership functions for output, algebraic product trian...

In this paper the concepts of sectional intuitionistic fuzzy continuous mapping, l -intuitionistic fuzzy compact sets and asymptotic intuitionistic fuzzy normal structure are introduced. Schauder type and Baillon and Schoneberg type fixed point theorems are also established in an intuitionistic fuzzy n -normed linear space.

Although Dubois and Prade’s fuzzy elements and gradual sets cannot be represented as objects or fuzzy predicates in first-order versions of known systems of propositional fuzzy logic, they can be represented in higher-order fuzzy logic. However, this logical representation does not simplify handling these notions, compared to informal semantic methods of traditional fuzzy mathematics. Finding a...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of double-framed fuzzy quotient lattice in a fuzzy lattice and then some basic properties are investigated. Characterizations of double-framed fuzzy quotient lattices are given. Using a collection of lattices, a double framed fuzzy quotient lattice is established. The notion of fuzzy quotient lattice relation on the family of all I double-framed fuzzy sub ...

and Applied Analysis 3 3. Main Results Throughout this paper, we will consider lattices as complete lattices,X will denote space, and μ is a membership function of any fuzzy set X. Definition 3.1. If m : σ L → R ∪ {∞} satisfies the following properties, then m is called a lattice measure on the lattice σ-algebra σ L . i m ∅ L0. ii For all f, g ∈ σ L such that m f , m g ≥ L0 : f ≤ g ⇒ m f ≤ m g ...

Characterization of intuitionistic fuzzy equipotent lattices are given. Using a collection of lattices, an intuitionistic fuzzy equipotent lattice is established. The notion of fuzzy equipotent lattice relation on the family of all intuitionistic ...

maji et al. introduced the concept of fuzzy soft sets as a generalization of the standard soft sets and presented an application of fuzzy soft sets in a decision making problem. in this paper, we apply fuzzy soft sets to  -hyperrings. the concept of ( , q )       -fuzzy soft  -hyperideals of  -hyperrings is first introduced. some new characterizations are investigated. in particular, a...
