We develop a natural generalization of vector-valued frame theory, we term operator-valued frame theory, using operator-algebraic methods. This extends work of the second author and D. Han which can be viewed as the multiplicity one case and extends to higher multiplicity their dilation approach. We prove several results for operator-valued frames concerning duality, disjointeness, complementar...

a new approach to define the similarity measure betweeninterval-valued fuzzy sets is presented. the proposed approach isbased on a weighted measure in which the normalized similaritiesbetween lower functions and also between upper functions arecombined by a weight parameter. the properties of this similaritymeasure are investigated. it is shown that, the proposed measurehas some advantages in c...

see 1–6 and the references therein. In particular, the set-valued right-hand side arises from a jump discontinuity of the albedo at the ice-edge in these models. By filling in such a gap, one arrives at the set-valued problem 1.1 . As in 6 , we are here interested in a considerably simplified version as compared to the situation from climate modeling; for example, a onedimensional regular Sturm...

in this paper we develop a natural generalization of schauder basis theory, we term operator-valued basis or simply ov-basis theory, using operator-algebraic methods. we prove several results for ov-basis concerning duality, orthogonality, biorthogonality and minimality. we prove that the operators of a dual ov-basis are continuous. we also de ne the concepts of bessel, hilbert ov-basis and obt...
