Probabilistic clustering techniques use the concept of memberships to describe the degree by which a vector belongs to a cluster. The use of memberships provides probabilistic methods with more realistic clustering than “hard” techniques. However, fuzzy schemes (like the Fuzzy c Means algorithm, FCW are open sensitive to outliers. We review four existing algorithms, devised to reduce this sensi...

In this paper, the relationships between semicontinuity and preinvexity of fuzzy mappings are investigated. The concepts of intermediate-point preinvex fuzzy mappings and weakly preinvex fuzzy mappings are first introduced, and the authors establish a characterization for a weakly preinvex fuzzy mapping in terms of its epigraph. In this context, a characterization of a preinvex fuzzy mapping in...
