Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), as a representative variant of sets, has substantial advantages in managing and modeling uncertain information, so it been widely studied applied. Nevertheless, how to perfectly measure the similarities or differences between IFSs is still an open question. The distance metric offers elegant desirable solution such Hence, this paper, we propose new measure, nam...

The aim of this paper is to point out and correct some errors of properties of the four operators defined over the IFSs in Atanassov (Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets, Springer, Heidelberg, 1999). © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Intuitionistic fuzzy sets as proposed by Atanassov, have gained much attention from past and latter researchers for applications in various fields. Similarity measures between intuitionistic fuzzy sets were developed afterwards. However, it does not cater the conflicting behavior of each element evaluated. We therefore made some modification to the similarity measure of IFS by considering confl...

In this paper, we study modal operator F α,β in intuitionistic fuzzy subgroup of a group and derive some results. 1. Introduction The idea of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) was given by [1, 2] to generalize the notion of fuzzy sets (FSs). Intuitionistic fuzzy modal operator was defined by Atanassov in [3]. The modal operators have been known to be important tools for IFSs where the operators ...

We study iterated function systems (IFSs) of contractive similitudes on Rd with overlaps. We introduce a generalized finite type condition which extends a more restrictive condition in [S.-M. Ngai, Y. Wang, Hausdorff dimension of self-similar sets with overlaps, J. London Math. Soc. (2) 63 (3) (2001) 655–672] and allows us to include some IFSs of contractive similitudes whose contraction ratios...

In recent years, there have been a growing interest in developing Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Group Decision Making (GDM) using type-2 fuzzy sets and Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFSs) which provide frameworks to handle the encountered uncertainties in decision making models. Previous research has shown the power of type-2 fuzzy logic systems to handle the linguistic uncertainties. ...

The problem of segmentation is an important research field and often a critical and decisive preprocessing step for many image processing applications. During the past years, the use of colour images instead of gray images is growing fast in many research areas. Moreover, the use of segmentation over colour images is advised when additional colour information conveyed is necessary to further di...

A practical face recognition system is expected to have the ability to learn online to adapt to different variations of the imaging conditions in order to achieve better recognition performance, especially when batch training is impossible. This is commonly achieved by updating the face model incrementally for each face. Based on our previous Face-Specific Subspace (FSS) face recognition method...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted much attention because of their unique structure and remarkable mechanical, electrical, thermal and chemical properties. In particular, it has been believed that CNTs are ideal fillers for polymers to enhance their mechanical properties. Numerous efforts have been devoted to the application of SWNTs and MWNTs to polymers for the last decade [1]. However, i...

Full recovery of interfacial bond strength after complete fiber/matrix debonding is achieved with a microencapsulated solvent-based healing chemistry. The surface of a glass fiber is functionalized with microcapsules containing varying concentrations of reactive epoxy resin and ethyl phenylacetate (EPA) solvent. Microbond specimens consisting of a single fiber and a microdroplet of epoxy are te...
