the traditional event tree analysis uses a single probability to represent each top event. however, it is unrealistic to evaluate the occurrence of each event by using a crisp value without considering the inherent uncertainty and imprecision a state has. the fuzzy set theory is universally applied to deal with this kind of phenomena. the main purpose of this study is to construct an easy metho...

In this paper, a hesitant fuzzy multiple attribute group decision making problem where there exists prioritization relationships over the attributes and decision makers is studied. First, some Einstein operations on hesitant fuzzy elements and their properties are presented. Then, several generalized hesitant fuzzy prioritized Einstein aggregation operators, including the generalized hesitant f...

The main result is to show that the space of nonmonotonic fuzzy measures on a measurable space (X,X) with total variation norm is separable if and only if the -algebra X is a finite set. Our result is related to fuzzy analysis, functional spaces and discrete mathematics. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In sensory analysis a panel of assessors gives scores to blocks of sensory attributes for profiling products, thus yielding a three-way table crossing assessors, attributes and products. In this context, it is important to evaluate the panel performance as well as to synthesize the scores into a global assessment to investigate differences between products. Recently, a combined approach of fuzz...

This paper presents a new biometric score fusion approach in an identification system using the upper integral with respect to Sugeno’s fuzzy measure. First, the proposed method considers each individual matcher as a fuzzy set in order to handle uncertainty and imperfection in matching scores. Then, the corresponding fuzzy entropy estimates the reliability of the information provided by each bi...

We consider the aggregation operators which are ⊕-additive for commonotone functions. The main result is that any operator is expressed by a kind of general fuzzy integral which uses a family of fuzzy measures connected by a ⊕-additive Cauchy’s equations. In particular, the family of fuzzy measures can be obtained by a ⊕-fitting pseudomultiplication. In this case, the aggregation operator is ex...

In this paper, a new definition of locally convex L-topological vector spaces is given. The relationship between this new definition and the previous definition of locally convex L-topological vector spaces given by Yan and Fang in 1999 is investigated. Moreover, the concept of generalized L-fuzzy semi-norm is introduced. By using a family of generalized L-fuzzy semi-norms, a characterization o...
