This paper considers dissimilarity measures and clustering techniques for two special cases of set-defined objects: fuzzy granules and subsequence time series. To deal with clustering of such kind of objects, we propose two implementations that generalize the Fuzzy C-Means algorithm to granular feature spaces. Granular computing is a paradigm oriented towards capturing and processing meaningful...

We study the asymptotics of a family of link invariants on the orbits of a smooth volume-preserving ergodic vector field on a compact domain of the 3-space. These invariants, called linear saddle invariants, include many concordance invariants and generate an infinite-dimensional vector space of link invariants. In contrast, the vector space of asymptotic linear saddle invariants is 1-dimension...

in the present paper, we introduce and study a fuzzy vector equilibrium problem and prove some existence results with and without convexity assumptions by using some particular forms of results of textit{kim} and textit{lee} [w.k. kim and k.h. lee, generalized fuzzy games and fuzzy equilibria, fuzzy sets and systems, 122 (2001), 293-301] and textit{tarafdar} [e. tarafdar, fixed point theorems i...

In this note we look at a number of infinite-dimensional R-vector spaces that arise in analysis, and we consider their dual and double dual spaces. As an application, we give an example of an infinite-dimensional vector space V for which the natural map η : V → V ∗∗ is not an isomorphism. In analysis, duals and double duals of vector spaces are often defined differently than in algebra, by cons...

the present paper introduces the notion of the complete fuzzy norm on a linear space. and, some relations between the fuzzy completeness and ordinary completeness on a linear space is considered, moreover a new form of fuzzy compact spaces, namely b-compact spaces and b-closed spaces are introduced. some characterizations of their properties are obtained.

motivated by samet et al. [nonlinear anal., 75(4) (2012), 2154-2165], we introduce the notions of $alpha$-$phi$-fuzzy contractive mapping and $beta$-$psi$-fuzzy contractive mapping and prove two theorems which ensure the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point for these two types of mappings. the presented theorems extend, generalize and improve the corresponding results given in the literature.

In fuzzy algebra, fuzzy subspaces are basic concepts. They had been introduced by Katsaras and Liu 1 in 1977 as a generalization of the usual notion of vector spaces. Since then, many results of fuzzy subspaces had been obtained in the literature 1–4 . Moreover, many researches in fuzzy algebra are closely related to fuzzy subspaces, such as fuzzy subalgebras of an associative algebra 5 , fuzzy...

Finding the collapse susceptible portion of a power system is one of the purposes of voltage stability analysis. This part which is a voltage control area is called the voltage weak area. Determining the weak area and adjecent voltage control areas has special importance in the improvement of voltage stability. Designing an on-line corrective control requires the voltage weak area to be determi...
