As a measure of information shared between two fuzzy pattern vectors, the fuzzy information proximity measure (FIPM) plays an important part in fuzzy pattern recognition, fuzzy clustering analysis and fuzzy approximate reasoning. In this paper, two novel FIPMs are set up. Firstly, an axiom theory about the FIPM is given, and different expressions of the FIPM are discussed. A new FIPM is then pr...

In this paper, an O-convergence theory of fuzzy nets is built in L-topological spaces by means of neighborhoods of fuzzy points. It has many nice properties. It can be used to characterize the closed set, open set, T2 separation axiom and fuzzy compactness. c © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In the setting of fuzzy choice functions (Georgescu [6]), we explore the relationships among known and new consistency axioms. Then we define the notion of sequential application of fuzzy choice functions, and investigate its normative implications. The Fuzzy Arrow Axiom is preserved by this sequential procedure, which ensures that full-rationality is preserved too.

This article discusses Sen’s critique of the behavioral implications of revealed preference theory. Sen proposes the concept of commitment as a way to account for the possibility of counter-preferential choice. More generally, it is part of an argument against the thesis that rationality may be reduced to some criteria of internal consistency of choices. The main purpose of this paper is to sho...

The issues relating fuzzy sets definition are under consideration including the analogue for separation axiom, statistical interpretation and membership function representation by the conditional Probabilities.

Based on the axiom de nition of distance measure, some new formulas of fuzzy entropy induced by distance measure and some new properties of distance measure are given. A characterization of a -distance measure is a metric de ned on all fuzzy sets is obtained. c © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper we introduce the conditional entropy without a fuzzy measure for the union of fuzzy partitions. We recall its properties and we solve the system of functional equations which derives from these conditions, taking into account the locality principle and the independence axiom.

We show by standard automated theorem proving methods and freely available automated theorem prover software that axiom (A2), stating that multiplicative conjunction implies its first member, is provable from other axioms in fuzzy logics BL and MTL without using axiom (A3), which is known to be provable from other axioms [1]. We also use freely available automated model generation software to s...
