In this study fuzzy arithmetic is presented as a tool to tackle the prediction of the amount of barium, strontium and calcium sulfates scales in oilfield operations. Since the shape of fuzzy numbers’ membership functions is a spread representative of the whole possible values for a special model parameter, fuzzy numbers are able to consider the uncertainties in parameter determinations and thus...

For better perception and analysis of images, good quality and high resolution (HR) is always preferred over degraded and low resolution (LR) images. Getting HR images can be cost and time prohibitive. Super resolution (SR) techniques can be an affordable alternative for small zoom factors. In medical imaging, specifically in the case of histological images, estimating an HR image from an LR on...

The aim of this study is to compare different approaches to fuzzy systems design from different perspectives: knowledge-driven versus data-driven and rule-based (flat) versus tree-based (hierarchical). More specifically, our comparison is focused on two of the arguably most important criteria in fuzzy systems design, namely accuracy and interpretability. We compare two approaches to data-driven...

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...
