By using parameterized representation of fuzzy numbers, criteria for a lower semicontinuous fuzzy mapping defined on a non-empty convex subset of Rn to be a convex fuzzy mapping are obtained. c © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper, the notion of the normal level sub HX group is introduced. We discuss the properties of normal level sub HX groups of a bipolar fuzzy normal HX subgroup of a HX group under homomorphism and anti-homomorphism.

Despite convex mathematical optimization methods be applied to general linear optimization problems it can also be applied in a special class of nonlinear optimization. As ambiguity and vagueness are natural and ever-present in real-life situations requiring solutions, it makes perfect sense to attempt to address them using fuzzy convex optimization. In this work, two fuzzy convex approaches ba...

In this paper, a new class of fuzzy mappings called semistrictly convex fuzzy mappings is introduced and we present some properties of this kind of fuzzy mappings. In particular, we prove that a local minimum of a semistrictly convex fuzzy mapping is also a global minimum. We also discuss the relations among convexity, strict convexity and semistrict convexity of fuzzy mapping, and give several...

in this paper we classify fuzzy subgroups of a rank-3 abelian group $g = mathbb{z}_{p^n} + mathbb{z}_p + mathbb{z}_p$ for any fixed prime $p$ and any positive integer $n$, using a natural equivalence relation given in cite{mur:01}. we present and prove explicit polynomial formulae for the number of (i) subgroups, (ii) maximal chains of subgroups, (iii) distinct fuzzy subgroups, (iv) non-isomorp...

In this paper, we define the algebraic structures of multi-fuzzy subgroup and some related properties are investigated. The purpose of this study is to implement the fuzzy set theory and group theory in multi-fuzzy subgroups. Characterizations of multi-level subsets of a multi-fuzzy subgroup of a group are given.

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...
