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...

We proposed the theory of multi-fuzzy sets [Sabu and Ramakrishnan (2010a), (2011a)] as an extension of theories of fuzzy sets, L-fuzzy sets [Goguen (1967)] and intuitionistic fuzzy sets [Atanassov (1986)]. Theory of multi-fuzzy sets deals with multi-level fuzziness and multi-dimensional fuzziness. Our previous papers discussed the basic notions of multi-fuzzy sets, multi-fuzzy topology, and mul...

in this note we first redefine the notion of a fuzzy hypervectorspace (see [1]) and then introduce some further concepts of fuzzy hypervectorspaces, such as fuzzy convex and balance fuzzy subsets in fuzzy hypervectorspaces over valued fields. finally, we briefly discuss on the convex (balanced)hull of a given fuzzy set of a hypervector space.

the aim of this paper is to establish a fuzzy version of the dualitybetween domains and completely distributive lattices. all values aretaken in a fixed frame $l$. a definition of (strongly) completelydistributive $l$-ordered sets is introduced. the main result inthis paper is that the category of fuzzy domains is dually equivalentto the category of strongly completely distributive $l$-ordereds...

the paper deals with special types of $l$-ordered sets, $l$-fuzzy complete lattices, and fuzzy directed complete posets.first, a theorem for constructing monotone maps is proved, a characterization for monotone maps on an $l$-fuzzy complete lattice is obtained, and it's proved that if $f$ is a monotone map on an $l$-fuzzy complete lattice $(p;e)$, then the least fixpoint of $f$ is meet of ...

In this paper the concept of metacompactness in L-topologicalspaces is introduced by means of point finite families of L-fuzzy sets. Thisfuzzy metacompactness is a natural generalization of Lowen fuzzy compactness.Further a characterization of fuzzy metacompactness in the weakly inducedL-topological spaces is also obtained.

The description of the error dynamics (30) in our paper [1] contains an omission that leads to some bounds used in the conditions of Theorem 8 and Corollary 2 in the paper to be incorrectly defined. In what follows, the correct error dynamics and the corresponding conditions are given. Instead of (30) in [1], the error dynamics are actually given by ė = m ∑ i=1 wi(z)[(Ai − LiC +MiAδi)e +Mi(Āδix̂...

Firstly, two kinds of natural distances between intuitionistic fuzzy sets are generated by the classical natural distance between fuzzy sets under a unified framework of residual intuitionistic implication operators. Secondly, the continuity and approximation property of a method for solving intuitionistic fuzzy reasoning are defined. It is proved that the triple implication method for intuitio...

This paper is a brief summary of “M.Takahashi, T.Murofushi, S.Asahina, A new necessary and sufficient condition for the Egoroff theorem in non-additive measure theory, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, to appear.” This paper states that a newly defined condition, called condition (M), is a necessary and sufficient condition for the Egoroff theorem in non-additive measure theory. The existing necessary an...

the paper sets forth in detail categorically-algebraic or catalg foundations for the operations of taking the image and preimage of (fuzzy) sets called forward and backward powerset operators. motivated by an open question of s. e. rodabaugh, we construct a monad on the category of sets, the algebras of which generate the fixed-basis forward powerset operator of l. a. zadeh. on the next step, w...
