We propose Fuzzy UTASTAR, a method for inferring fuzzy utility functions from a partial preorder of options evaluated on multiple criteria. It is an extension of the well-known UTASTAR method capable to handle both ordinary (crisp) and fuzzy evaluation data. This property gives much flexibility to decision makers because the majority of real-life decision problems involve a considerable level o...

This paper studies T -preorders than can be generated in a natural way by a single fuzzy subset. These T -preorders are called one-dimensional and are of great importance, since every T -preorder can be generated by combining onedimensional ones. In the paper, the relation between fuzzy subsets generating the same T -preorder is given and one-dimensional T -preorders are characterized in two di...

We introduce the concept of a fuzzy total preorder. Then we analyze its numerical representability through a real-valued order-preserving function defined for each α-cut.

This paper studies T -preorders by using their Representation Theorem that states that every T -preorder on a set X can be generated in a natural way by a family of fuzzy subsets of X . Especial emphasis is made on the study of onedimensional T -preorders (i.e.: T -preorders that can be generated by only one fuzzy subset). Strong complete T -preorders are characterized.

A new approach to normalizing fuzzy sets is introduced where it is assumed that the normalization method is compatible with a given t-norm. In this context it is proved that the most usual ways to normalize fuzzy subsets correspond to the most common t-norms. For a given fuzzy subset μ, the corresponding normalized fuzzy subset μ̂ can be viewed as the distribution of μ conditioned on the (degree...

The present paper investigates the relations between fuzzifying topologies and generalized ideals of fuzzy subsets, as well as constructing generalized ideals and fuzzifying topologies by means of fuzzy preorders. Furthermore, a construction of generalized ideals from preideals, and vice versa, is obtained. As a particular consequence of the results in this paper, a construction of fuzzifying t...

Choquet integral, as an adequate aggregation operator, extends the weighted mean operator by considering interactions among attributes. Choquet integral has been widely used in many real multi-attribute decision making. Weights (fuzzy measures) of attribute sets directly affect the decision results in multi-attribute decision making. In this paper, we aim to propose an objective method based on...

Simulations and bisimulations are known to be useful for abstracting and comparing formal systems, and they have recently been introduced into fuzzy systems. In this study, we provide sound and complete logical characterizations for simulation and bisimulation, which are defined over fuzzy labeled transition systems via two variants of the Hennessy-Milner Logic. The logic for characterizing fuz...

It is well known that lattice-valued rough sets are important branches of fuzzy sets. The axiomatic characterization and related topology the main research directions For L=(L,⊛), a complete co-residuated lattice (CCRL), Qiao recently defined an L-fuzzy lower approximation operator (LFLAO) on basis relation. In this article, we give further study Qiao’s LFLAO around induced L-topology. Firstly,...
