in 1997, fang proposed the concept of boundedness of $l$-fuzzy setsin $l$-topological vector spaces. since then, this concept has beenwidely accepted and adopted in the literature. in this paper,several characterizations of bounded $l$-fuzzy sets in$l$-topological vector spaces are obtained and some properties ofbounded $l$-fuzzy sets are investigated.

Internet users are assisted by means of distributed intelligent agents in the information gathering process to find the fittest information to their needs. In this paper we present a distributed intelligent agent model where the communication of the evaluation of the retrieved information among the agents is carried out by using linguistic operators based on the 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic represe...

Ambient Intelligence (AmI, shortly) gathers best results from three key technologies, Ubiquitous Computing, Ubiquitous Communication, and Intelligent User Friendly Interfaces. The functional and spatial distribution of tasks is a natural thrust to employ multi-agent paradigm to design and implement AmI environments. Two critical issues, common in most of applications, are (1) how to detect in a...

A fuzzy extractor is a security primitive that allows for reproducible extraction of an almost uniform key from a non-uniform noisy source. We analyze a fuzzy extractor scheme that uses universal hash functions for both information reconciliation and privacy amplification. This is a useful scheme when the number of error patterns likely to occur is limited, regardless of the error probabilities...

A fuzzy metric is a function of the form X×X 3 (p, q)→F Fpq ∈ ∆, where ∆ is the set of all distance distribution functions, and in many cases F generates a metrizable uniformity. Starting from this fundamental property, we present several metric-like functions determined by fuzzy metrics and we emphasize their role in getting and proving fixed point theorems for different types of contractions....

The concepts of fuzzy source and fuzzy successor operators for an L-fuzzy automaton (L is a latticeordered monoid) are introduced, which turn out to be L-fuzzy closure operators. When L is a quantale, these operators introduce L-fuzzy topologies. These observations are then used to give topological characterization of the separatedness and connectedness properties of an L-fuzzy automaton. c ©20...

ur aim of this  paper  is  to introduce the concept of $L$-double fuzzy rough sets in whichboth constructive and axiomatic approaches are used. In constructive approach, a pairof $L$-double fuzzy lower (resp. upper) approximation operators is defined  and the basic properties of them  are studied.From the viewpoint of the axiomatic approach, a set of axioms is constructed to characterize the $L...

The notion of separatedness degrees of L-fuzzy subsets is introduced in L-fuzzy topological spaces by means of L-fuzzy closure operators. Furthermore, the notion of connectedness degrees of L-fuzzy subsets is introduced. Many properties of connectedness in general topology are generalized to L-fuzzy topological spaces.

In this paper, the concepts of derived sets and derived operators are generalized to $(L, M)$-fuzzy topological spaces and their characterizations are given.What is more, it is shown that the category of stratified $(L, M)$-fuzzy topological spaces,the category of stratified $(L, M)$-fuzzy closure spaces and the category of stratified $(L, M)$-fuzzy quasi-neighborhood spaces are all isomorphic ...

The present paper studies fuzzy matroids in view of degree. First wegeneralize the notion of $(L,M)$-fuzzy independent structure byintroducing the degree of $M$-fuzzy family of independent $L$-fuzzysets with respect to a mapping from $L^X$ to $M$. Such kind ofdegrees is proved to satisfy some axioms similar to those satisfiedby $(L,M)$-fuzzy independent structure. ...
