Galois connection in crisp binary relations has proved to be useful for several applications in computer science. Unfortunately, data is not always presented as a crisp binary relation but may be composed of fuzzy values, thus forming a fuzzy binary relation. This paper aims at defining the notion of fuzzy galois connection corresponding to a fuzzy binary relation in two steps: firstly by defin...

In this paper, the differential transformation method (DTM) was applied to solve fuzzy fractional heat equations. The elementary properties of this method were given. The approximate and exact solutions of these equations were calculated in the form of series with easily computable terms. The proposed method was also illustrated by some examples. The results revealed that DTM is a highly effect...

The aim of this work is to study an essential property in the framework of fuzzy preference structures, which is the transitivity. In particular, we discuss the relationship between the transitivity of a fuzzy large preference relation R and the transitivity of the fuzzy strict preference relation P obtained from R when every pair of elements can be compared. We consider some of the most import...

In this paper, we proposed a method for computing the approximate solution for impulsive fuzzy differential equations by utilizing the existing results in impulsive differential equations and fuzzy differential equations. The numerical solutions are investigated since many impulsive differential equations cannot be solved analytically or their solving is complicated. The solutions are then comp...

In this paper, we investigate the existence and calculation of the expression of periodic solutions for fuzzy differential equations with three types of forcing terms, by using Hukuhara derivative. In particular, Theorems 3.2, 4.2 and 5.2 are the results of existences of periodic solutions for fuzzy differential equations ™,a andb, respectively. These results will help us to study phenomena wit...

In this paper we introduce some stability criteria for impulsive fuzzy system of differential equations with finite delay in states. Firstly, a new comparison principle for fuzzy differential system compared to crisp ordinary differential equation, based on a notion of upper quasi-monotone nondecreasing, in N dimentional state space is presented. Furthermore, in order to analyze the stability o...

The fuzzy differential and integral equations are important part of the fuzzy analysis theory. Park et al. [8] have considered the existence of solution of fuzzy integral equation in Banach space and Subrahmaniam and Sudarsanam [12] proved the existence of solution of fuzzy functional equations. An integral equation is called singular if either the range of integration is infinite or the kernel...

Ontology is the basis of sharing and reusing knowledge on the Semantic Web, and ontology-based semantic retrieval is a hotspot of current research. Fuzzy ontology is an extension of domain ontology for solving the uncertainty problems. To represent fuzzy knowledge more effectively, this paper presents a new series of fuzzy ontology models that consists of fuzzy domain ontology and fuzzy linguis...

The notion of “similarity” as defined in this paper is essentially a generalization of the notion of equivalence. In the same vein, a fuzzy ordering is a generalization of the concept of ordering. For example, the relation x *y (x is much larger than y) is a fuzzy linear ordering in the set of real numbers. More concretely, a similarity relation, S, is a fuzzy relation which is reflexive, symme...
