Whenever a functional is concave it is natural to ask whether its sendograph is a closed convex set. If so, the Hahn–Banach theory implies that the functional can be represented as the infimum of all continuous linear functionals greater than or equal to it. We refer to such representation as a dual representation. Dominated convergence of the concave integral for capacities is characterized in...

This paper presents the concept of partition of a nonempty fuzzy set in nonempty convex fuzzy subsets. We restrict our discussion when the universal set, where are defined the fuzzy sets, is the real n-dimensional Euclidean space. We also show that a nonempty fuzzy set has a least one partition in nonempty convex fuzzy subsets.

in this paper, we define the notions of fuzzy congruence relations and fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice and we obtain some related results. in particular, we will show that there exists a one to one correspondence between the set of all fuzzy congruence relations and the set of all fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice. then we study fuzzy...

In this state-of-the-art paper, important advances that have been made during the past five years for both general and interval type-2 fuzzy sets and systems are described. Interest in type-2 subjects is worldwide and touches on a broad range of applications and many interesting theoretical topics. The main focus of this paper is on the theoretical topics, with descriptions of what they are, wh...

in this work, we define a fuzzy soft set theory and its related properties. we then define fuzzy soft aggregation operator that allows constructing more efficient decision making method. finally, we give an example which shows that the method can be successfully applied to many problems that contain uncertainties.

One of the most important aspects of the (statistical) analysis of imprecise data is the usage of a suitable distance on the family of all compact, convex fuzzy sets, which is not too hard to calculate and which reflects the intuitive meaning of fuzzy sets. On the basis of expressing the metric of Bertoluzza et al. (1995) in terms of the mid points and spreads of the corresponding intervals we ...

We reformulate Mesiar’s hypothesis [Possibility measures, integration and fuzzy possibility measures, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 92 (1997) 191196], which as such was shown to be untrue by Murofushi [Two-valued possibility measures induced by σ-finite σ-additive measures, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 126 (2002) 265268]. We prove that a two-valued σ-maxitive measure can be induced by a σ-additive measure u...

It is shown that, for any spatial frame L (i.e., L is a complete lattice generated by the set of all prime elements), both the specialization L-preorder of L-topological spaces introduced by Lai and Zhang [Fuzzy preorder and fuzzy topology, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 157 (2006) 1865–1885] and that of L-fuzzifying topological spaces introduced by Fang and Qiu [Fuzzy orders and fuzzifying topologies,...

in this paper, the concept of fuzzy convex subgroup (resp. fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroup) of an ordered group (resp. lattice-ordered group) is introduced and some properties, characterizations and related results are given. also, the fuzzy convex subgroup (resp. fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroup) generated by a fuzzy subgroup (resp. fuzzy subsemigroup) is characterized. furthermore,...

Inthispaper, (L,M)-fuzzy domain finiteness and (L,M)-fuzzy restricted hull spaces are introduced, and several characterizations of the category (L,M)-CS of (L,M)-fuzzy convex spaces are obtained. Then, (L,M)-fuzzy stratified (resp. weakly induced, induced) convex spaces are introduced. It is proved that both categories, the category (L,M)-SCS of (L,M)-fuzzy stratified convex spaces and the cate...
