L Introduction While it is still a general belief in society that mathematics is an "exact science", at the educational level it is generally accepted that it may be just as important to learn about the mathematics of approximations, errors, expectations, statistics, probabilities, etc. This can be seen today in mathematics cmricula at all levels but was not so clear just a few years ago. It to...

The paper sets forth in detail categorically-algebraic or catalg foundations for the operations of taking the image and preimage of (fuzzy) sets called forward and backward powerset operators. Motivated by an open question of S. E. Rodabaugh, we construct a monad on the category of sets, the algebras of which generate the fixed-basis forward powerset operator of L. A. Zadeh. On the next step, w...

An optimal scheduling approach has been developed for coordinating product delivery activities using fuzzy mathematics. In this approach, optimal delivery scheduling is carried out at three different levels, for situations involving: (1) one driver and one load, (2) one driver and multiple loads, and (3) multiple drivers and multiple loads. Fuzzy-based clustering methods are employed to classif...

In the present communication, we review the existing measures of fuzzy information. We define and characterize two fuzzy information measures which are sub additive and different from known measures of fuzzy information. We also study monotonic behavior and particular cases of these fuzzy information measures. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 94A17 and 94 D 05

The main aim of this paper is to study fuzzy congruences of typeB semigroups. After obtaining some properties and characterizations of fuzzy good congruences on adequate semigroups, we consider fuzzy good congruences on type-B semigroups. Finally, we prove a theorem giving equivalent conditions on fuzzy cancellative congruences of such semigroups. Mathematics Subject Classification: 06F05; 20M10

In this paper, generalized fuzzy 2-norms are defined on a set of objects endowed with a structure of linear space. The relationships between these fuzzy 2-norms and fuzzy metrics and between these fuzzy 2-norms and the topological structures induced on a linear space are analyzed. Some open problems in this framework are mentioned. Mathematics Subject Classification: 46A19, 54A40

In this paper we will introduce a certain collection of fuzzy subsets of a nonempty set X. This certain collection gives raise to a useful new fuzzy partition. This new fuzzy partition gives us a way of generating a fuzzy equivalence relation as in the ordinary case; any partition generates an equivalence relation.

Combining intuitionistic fuzzy sets and filter theory,we studied interval valued intuitionistic (T, S)-fuzzy filters on lattice implication algebras. some relation properties of it are obtained, the relation between intuitionistic (T, S)-fuzzy filters and intuitionistic fuzzy set are discussed.The investigation method and content of lattice implication algebras are extended. Mathematics Subject...

In this paper, a new kind of direct product of fuzzy modules over fuzzy rings is studied by using the definition of new type of fuzzy modules over fuzzy rings which is introduced in [3]. Some properties of this new structure is investigated analogues to ordinary module theory. Mathematics Subject Classification: 03E72; 08A72, 20N25

In this paper we introduce the notion of weak and strong intuitionistic fuzzy (Schauder) basis on an intuitionistic fuzzy n-normed linear space [5] and prove that an intuitionistic fuzzy n-normed linear space having a weak intuitionistic fuzzy basis is separable. Also we discuss approximation property on the same space. Mathematics Subject Classification: 03B20, 03B52, 46A99, 46H25
