In a recent paper, De Baets et al. have characterized the fuzzytolerance and fuzzy equivalence relations that a given strict order relation iscompatible with. In this paper, we generalize this characterization by consideringan arbitrary (crisp) relation instead of a strict order relation, while payingattention to the particular cases of a reflexive or irreflexive relation. The reasoninglargely ...

in this paper, the finitely many constraints of a fuzzy relationinequalities problem are studied and the linear objective function on the regiondefined by a fuzzy max-average operator is optimized. a new simplificationtechnique which accelerates the resolution of the problem by removing thecomponents having no effect on the solution process is given together with analgorithm and a numerical exa...

the pioneer work of image compression/reconstruction based onfuzzy relational equations (icf) and the related works are introduced. theicf regards an original image as a fuzzy relation by embedding the brightnesslevel into [0,1]. the compression/reconstruction of icf correspond to thecomposition/solving inverse problem formulated on fuzzy relational equations.optimizations of icf can be consequ...

we prove a related fixed point theorem for n mappings which arenot necessarily continuous in n fuzzy metric spaces using an implicit relationone of them is a sequentially compact fuzzy metric space which generalizeresults of aliouche, et al. [2], rao et al. [14] and [15].

As we may have a set of possible values when comparing alternatives (or criteria), the hesitant fuzzy preference relation becomes a suitable and powerful technique to deal with this case. This paper mainly focuses on the multiplicative consistency of the hesitant fuzzy preference relation. First of all, we explore some properties of the hesitant fuzzy preference relation and develop some new ag...

Information retrieval is the important work for Electronic Commerce. Ontology-based semantic retrieval is a hotspot of current research. In order to achieve fuzzy semantic retrieval, this paper applies a fuzzy ontology framework to information retrieval system in E-Commerce. The framework includes three parts: concepts, properties of concepts and values of properties, in which property’s value ...

This paper is a survey of fuzzy set theory applied in cluster analysis. These fuzzy clustering algorithms have been widely studied and applied in a variety of substantive areas. They also become the major techniques in cluster analysis. In this paper, we give a survey of fuzzy clustering in three categories. The first category is the fuzzy clustering based on fuzzy relation. The second one is t...

In this note, we continue the works in the paper [Some properties of L-fuzzy approximation spaces on bounded integral residuated lattices", Information Sciences, 278, 110-126, 2014]. For a complete involutive residuated lattice, we show that the L-fuzzy topologies generated by a reflexive and transitive L-relation satisfy (TC)L or (TC)R axioms and the L-relations induced by two L-fuzzy topologi...

Information retrieval is the essential task for Traffic Information Service System in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). There a lot of fuzzy traffic information derived from human factor. To achieve fuzzy semantic retrieval, this paper proposes an approach using Resource Description Framework (RDF) and fuzzy ontology. First, we apply RDF data model to represent traffic information on th...
