abstract this author introduces the concept of stepwise strategy approach (ssa) for dealing with a number of problems arises in the current age of technology. this new idea is combined with the knowledge of grey theory for adding flexibility to decision making process. grey theory is useful for grasping the ambiguity exists in the utilized information and the fuzziness appears in the human judg...

In this paper, we introduce a special algebra called EQ-algebra which has three binary operations (meet, product, fuzzy equality) and a top element. The fuzzy equality is reflexive, symmetric and transitive with respect to the product. EQ-algebra is a natural algebra proposed as an algebra of truth values on the basis of which the fuzzy type theory (a higher-order fuzzy logic) should be develop...

Rough set theory is an important approach to granular computing. Type-1 fuzzy set theory permits the gradual assessment of the memberships of elements in a set. Hybridization of these assessments results in a fuzzy rough set theory. Type-2 fuzzy sets possess many advantages over type-1 fuzzy sets because their membership functions are themselves fuzzy, which makes it possible to model and minim...

Interval type-2 fuzzy sets, each of which is characterized by the footprint of uncertainty, are a very useful means to depict the linguistic information in the process of decision making. In this article, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the linguistic information provided by the decision makers is expressed as interval type-2 fuzzy decision matrices where each of ...

Generalized Geraghty type fuzzy mappings oncomplete metric spaces are introduced and a fixed point theorem thatgeneralizes some recent comparable results for fuzzy mappings incontemporary literature is obtained. Example is provided to show thevalidity of obtained results over comparable classical results for fuzzymappings in fixed point theory. As an application, existence of coincidencefuzzy p...

uncertainty inherent in the financial market was usually consid- ered to be random. however, randomness is only one special type of uncer- tainty and appropriate when describing objective information. for describing subjective information it is preferred to assume that uncertainty is fuzzy. this paper defines the expected payoof trading strategies in a fuzzy financial market within the framewor...

Molodtsov introduced the theory of soft sets, which can be used as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. This paper aims to introduce the concept of the type-2 fuzzy soft set by integrating the type-2 fuzzy set theory and the soft set theory. Some operations on the type-2 fuzzy soft sets are given. Furthermore, we investigate the decision making based on type-2 fuzzy soft se...

the purpose of the present work is to establish a one-to-one correspondence between the family of interval type-2 fuzzy reflexive/tolerance approximation spaces and the family of interval type-2 fuzzy closure spaces.
