in this paper, a new definition of fuzzy bounded sets and totallyfuzzy bounded sets is introduced and properties of such sets are studied. thena relation between totally fuzzy bounded sets and n-compactness is discussed.finally, a geometric characterization for fuzzy totally bounded sets in i- topologicalvector spaces is derived.

An orthogonal approach to the fuzzification of both multisets and hybridsets is presented. In particular, we introduce $L$-multi-fuzzy and$L$-fuzzy hybrid sets, which are general enough and in spirit with thebasic concepts of fuzzy set theory. In addition, we study the properties ofthese structures. Also, the usefulness of these structures is examined inthe framework of mechanical multiset proc...

T is my great pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural I issue of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON FUZZY SYSTEMS. Many of you are probably quite familiar with the basic ideas underlying fuzzy sets and systems that utilize fuzzy models. However, there will also be readers who are looking at the contents of this issue, wondering what it’s all about. For this latter group, the papers in this first issue m...

the intuitionistic fuzzy set has been applied to game theory very rarely since it was introduced by atanassov in 1983. the aim of this paper is to develop an effective methodology for solving matrix games with payoffs of atanassov’s triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (tifns). in this methodology, the concepts and ranking order relations of atanassov’s tifns are defined. a pair of bi-object...

It is firstly proved that the multi-input-single-output (MISO) fuzzy systems based on interval-valued $R$- and $S$-implications can approximate any continuous function defined on a compact set to arbitrary accuracy.  A formula to compute the lower upper bounds on the number  of interval-valued fuzzy sets needed to achieve a pre-specified approximation  accuracy for an arbitrary multivariate con...

fuzzy control systems have had various applications in a wide range of science and engineering in recent years. since an unstable control system is typically useless and potentially dangerous, stability is the most important requirement for any control system (including fuzzy control system). conceptually, there are two types of stability for control systems: lyapunov stability (a special case ...

the present paper introduces the notion of the complete fuzzy norm on a linear space. and, some relations between the fuzzy completeness and ordinary completeness on a linear space is considered, moreover a new form of fuzzy compact spaces, namely b-compact spaces and b-closed spaces are introduced. some characterizations of their properties are obtained.

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...
