The concepts of fuzzy θ-open (θ-closed)sets and fuzzy θ-closure operator are introduced and discussed in intuitionistic fuzzy topological spaces. As applications of these concepts, certain functions are characterized in terms of intuitionistic fuzzy θ-closure operator.

Ever since the introduction of fuzzy sets by L. A. Zadeh [14], the fuzzy concept has invaded almost all branches of Mathematics. The concept of fuzzy topological space was introduced and developed by C.L. Chang [3] and since then many fuzzy topologists [1,6-13] have extended various notions in classical topology to fuzzy topological spaces. The concept of somewhat continuous functions was intro...

‎The main goal of this paper is to introduce and study two new class of functions‎, ‎called weakly $e^*$-irresolute functions and strongly $e^*$-irresolute functions‎, ‎via the notion of $e^*$-open set defined by Ekici [7]. ‎We obtain several fundamental properties and characterizations of these functions‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎we investigate not only some of their basic properties but also their relat...

We discuss some optimization problems for fuzzy variable functions and show two interesting results. First result is related to conditions for existence of global optimal solutions for some general class of optimization problems on E, the space of compacts, upper semicontinuous and normal fuzzy sets of R. The second result is about preservation of local optimality points, via Zadeh’s principle ...

Azad [1] introduced the concepts of fuzzy semi-open sets and fuzzy semi-continuous mappings. Fuzzy α-open sets and fuzzy α-continuous functions were introduced by Mashhour et. al. [4] and Singal et. al. [6] respectively. The concepts of fuzzy pre-open sets and fuzzy pre-continuous mappings were introduced by Bin Sahana [2]. In this paper the concepts of fuzzy α-quotient maps, fuzzy semi quotien...

Consideration is given to a single-model assembly line balancing problem with fuzzy task processing times. The problem referred to herein as f-SALBP-E consists of finding a combination of the number of workstations and the cycle time as well as a respective line balance such that the efficiency of the line is maximized. f-SALBP-E is an extension of the classical SALBP-E under fuzziness. First, ...

Introdução: Pneumonia hospitalar é a mais fatal das infecções hospitalares, com taxas de mortalidade de 30 a 60%. Estima-se que 15% de todas as mortes associadas à hospitalização estejam diretamente relacionadas a pneumonias hospitalares. O SENTRY é um estudo de vigilância de resistência a antimicrobianos envolvendo centros médicos em todo o mundo. Objetivo: Avaliar a sensibilidade a antimicrob...

Dois novos metabólitos, 2,4-diidroxi-5,6-dimetil benzoato de etila (1) e phomopsilactona (2) foram isolados de Phomopsis cassiae, um fungo endofítico de Cassia spectabilis. As estruturas destes compostos foram elucidadas por dados espectrométricos de 1D e 2D RMN, EM e IV. As substâncias 1 e 2 exibiram forte atividade antifúngica contra os fungos fitopatogênicos Cladosporium cladosporioides e C....

In this article we introduce the notion of fuzzy b-locally open (bLO) sets, fuzzy bLO sets, fuzzy bLO sets in fuzzy bitopological spaces and obtain several characterizations and some properties of these sets. Also we introduce the notion of fuzzy b-locally continuous functions on bitopological spaces.
