This paper presents a new biometric score fusion approach in an identification system using the upper integral with respect to Sugeno’s fuzzy measure. First, the proposed method considers each individual matcher as a fuzzy set in order to handle uncertainty and imperfection in matching scores. Then, the corresponding fuzzy entropy estimates the reliability of the information provided by each bi...

We consider the aggregation operators which are ⊕-additive for commonotone functions. The main result is that any operator is expressed by a kind of general fuzzy integral which uses a family of fuzzy measures connected by a ⊕-additive Cauchy’s equations. In particular, the family of fuzzy measures can be obtained by a ⊕-fitting pseudomultiplication. In this case, the aggregation operator is ex...

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...

The starting point of this paper is the introduction of a new measure of inclusion of fuzzy set A in fuzzy set B. Previously used inclusion measures take values in the interval [0,1]; the inclusion measure proposed here takes values in a Boolean lattice. In other words, inclusion is viewed as an Lfuzzy valued relation between fuzzy sets. This relation is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive,...

It is known that the standard intersection and union of type-1 fuzzy sets (i.e., the intersection and union under the minimum t-norm and maximum tconorm) are the only cutworthy operations for type1 fuzzy sets. The aim of this paper is to show that similar property holds also for type-2 fuzzy sets, with respect to some special cutting. As was already demonstrated, the intersection and union of t...

We focus on the Ferrers property of fuzzy preference relations. We study the connection between the Ferrers property and fuzzy interval orders. A crisp total interval order is characterized by the Ferrers property of its strict preference relation. Also, a crisp preference structure is a total interval order if and only if its large preference relation satisfies the Ferrers property. For fuzzy ...

in this paper, a novel approach for ranking fuzzy numbers based on the angle measure is introduced. several left and right spreads at each chosen levels of fuzzy numbers is used to determine center of mass points(cmps) and then, the angels between the cmps and the horizontal axis is calculated. the total angle is determined by averaging the computed angles and finally, the novel method is compa...

When there are interactions among the independent variables, the performances of the most often used multiple regression models and ridge regression model are not well enough. In contrast, the Choquet integral takes into account the interactions among independent variables, the discrete Choquet integral regression models based on some non-negative valued fuzzy measures or monotonic measure can ...
