It is constructively proved that the multi-input–multi-output fuzzy systems based upon genuine many-valued implications are universal approximators (they are called Boolean type fuzzy systems in this paper). The general approach to construct such fuzzy systems is given, that is, through the partition of the output region (by the given accuracy). Two examples are provided to demonstrate the way ...

The aim of this paper is to introduce the notions of interval valued (∈,∈ ∨q)-fuzzy Boolean (implicative, positive implicative and fantastic) filters in BL-algebras and to investigate some related properties. Some characterizations of these generalized fuzzy filters are derived. Finally, the relations among these generalized fuzzy filters are discussed. It is proved that an interval valued (∈,∈...

The Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) problems are investigated in which all the information provided by the decision-makers is presented as interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrices, and the information about attribute weights is partially known. Three different models are utilized for calculating the completely unknown attribute weights which are then used for aggr...

The concept of quasi-coincidence of an interval-valued fuzzy set is considered. By using this new idea, the notion of interval-valued (α, β)−fuzzy k−ideals of semirings is introduced, which is a generalization of a fuzzy k−ideal. Also some related properties are studied and in particular, the interval-valued (∈,∈ ∨q)−fuzzy k−ideals in a semiring will be investigated. Finally, the concept of imp...

On the basis of the combination of single-valued neutrosophic sets and hesitant fuzzy sets, this article proposes a single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (SVNHFS) as a further generalization of the concepts of fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, single-valued neutrosophic set, hesitant fuzzy set, and dual hesitant fuzzy set. Then, we introduce the basic operational relations and cosine...

Fuzzy valued measure ([7], [10], [3], [5]) is a natural generalization of a set valued measure ([6]). Infinite addition is defined ([12]) as a Zadeh’s extension principle of continuity. In [9], using an additive fuzzy valued measure, an integral of single valued function is defined and some basic properties are given. In this paper we proceed to investigate specific properties of integrals in f...

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs), a generalization of fuzzy sets, is characterized by an interval-valued membership function, an interval-valued non-membership function.The objective of this paper is to deal with criteria aggregation problems using IVIFSs where there exists a prioritization relationship over the criteria.Based on the ${L}$ukasiewicz triangular norm, we first p...

The paper deals with fuzzy versions of the classical bi-implication, that is, extensions of classical bi-implication to the canonical domain of mathematical fuzzy logics, the real-valued unit interval [0, 1]. Our approach to fuzzy bi-implication may be summarized as follows: first, we recall a well-known approach to bi-implications, by Fodor and Roubens, via the direct axiomatization of the pro...

This paper presents a new method for document retrieval using fuzzy-valued concept networks, where the relevant degrees between the concepts in a fuzzy-valued concept network are represented by arbitrary shapes of fuzzy numbers. There are two kinds of relevant relationships between any two concepts in a fuzzy-valued concept network, i.e., fuzzy positive association and fuzzy negative associatio...

d Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Swat, Swat, Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, Pakistan ABSTRACT The concept of interval-valued fuzzy set is one of the most important and useful generalisation of Zadeh's fuzzy sets which is successfully applied by engineers and scientists in the field of Robotics, Control Theory and Computer Engineering. In this paper, we introduce new and useful ge...
