in this paper, we generalize fuzzy banach contraction theorem establishedby v. gregori and a. sapena [fuzzy sets and systems 125 (2002) 245-252]using notion of altering distance which was initiated by khan et al. [bull. austral.math. soc., 30(1984), 1-9] in metric spaces.

In this paper, an idea of generalized fuzzy c-distance in fuzzy cone metric space is introduced. A common fixed point theorem is established for a pair of self mappings in fuzzy cone metric spaces by using the concept of generalized fuzzy c-distance. 2010 AMS Classification: : 54A40, 03E72

We propose a new approach to assigning distance between fuzzy numbers. A pseudo-metric on the set of fuzzy numbers and a metric on the set of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are described. The regular reducing functions and the Hausdorff metric are used to define the metric. Using this metric, we can approximate an arbitrary generalized left right fuzzy number with a trapezoidal one. Finally, powers ...

and Applied Analysis 3 Conversely, if the pair of functions α and β satisfy the conditions 1 – 4 , then there exists a unique u ∈ E1 such that u λ α− λ , β λ for each λ ∈ 0, 1 , 9 . The fuzzy number u corresponding to the pair of functions α and β is defined by u : R → 0, 1 , u x sup{λ : α x ≤ λ ≤ β x }, 5 . A sequence u uk of fuzzy numbers is a function u from the set N, the set of all positiv...

In this paper, a new approach is prposed for ordering fuzzy numbers based on bi-symmetrical weighted distance. The proposed method considers the bi-symmetrical weighted function and the bisymmetrical weighted distance of fuzzy numbers to rank fuzzy numbers. Some examples to compare the advantage of this approch with the existing metric index ranking methods is illustrated. The process to rank t...

This paper describes the theory and algorithms of distance transform for fuzzy subsets, called fuzzy distance transform (FDT). The notion of fuzzy distance is formulated by first defining the length of a path on a fuzzy subset and then finding the infimum of the lengths of all paths between two points. The length of a path π in a fuzzy subset of the n-dimensional continuous space n is defined a...

In this paper the idea of strong sum distance which is a metric, in a fuzzy graph is introduced. Based on this metric the concepts of eccentricity, radius, diameter, center and self centered fuzzy graphs are studied. Some properties of eccentric nodes, peripheral nodes and central nodes are obtained. A characterisation of self centered complete fuzzy graph is obtained and conditions under which...

In this paper, we introduce a function in order to measure the distancebetween two order intervals of fuzzy numbers, and show that this function isa metric. We investigate some properties of this metric, and finally presentan application. We think that this study could provide a more generalframework for researchers studying on interval analysis, fuzzy analysis andfuzzy decision making.

We introduce the notion of the Gromov-Hausdorff fuzzy distance between two non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces (in the sense of Kramosil and Michalek). Basic properties involving convergence and the fuzzy version of the completeness theorem are presented. We show that the topological properties induced by the classic Gromov-Hausdorff distance on metric spaces can be deduced from our approach.

This paper focuses on the robustness problem of full implication triple implication inference method for fuzzy reasoning. First of all, based on strong regular implication, the weighted logic metric for measuring distance between two fuzzy sets is proposed. Besides, under this metric, some robustness results of the triple implication method are obtained, which demonstrates that the triple impli...
