in a fuzzy metric space (x;m; *), where * is a continuous t-norm,a locally fuzzy contraction mapping is de ned. it is proved that any locally fuzzy contraction mapping is a global fuzzy contractive. also, if f satis es the locally fuzzy contractivity condition then it satis es the global fuzzy contrac-tivity condition.

In this paper the concept of (computational) verb number and arithmetical operations of verb numbers are presented. A verb number is a kind of special computational verb, which is derived from structures of (host) verb+(real, interval, fuzzy) number. From the linguistic point of view, a verb number is a computational verb with contexts defined by (real, interval, fuzzy) numbers. Verb numbers ca...

This article presents a new similarity measure for LR-type fuzzy numbers. The proposed similarity measure is based on a defined metric between LR-type fuzzy numbers. It is known that an exponential operation is highly useful in dealing with the classical Shannon entropy and cluster analysis. We adopted, therefore, the exponential operation on this metric. Furthermore, we analyze its properties ...

In this paper we investigate common xed point theorems for contraction mapping in fuzzy metric space introduced by Gregori and Sapena [V. Gregori, A. Sapena, On xed-point the- orems in fuzzy metric spaces, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 125 (2002), 245-252].

in this paper, we introduce a new class of implicit functions and also common property (e.a) in modified intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces and utilize the same to prove some common fixed point theorems in modified intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces besides discussing related results and illustrative examples. we are not aware of any paper dealing with such implicit functions in modified intuit...

in this paper, we shall introduce the fuzzyw-distance, then prove a common fixed point theorem with respectto fuzzy w-distance for two mappings under the condition ofweakly compatible in complete fuzzy metric spaces.

in this paper, we give some new definitions of m-fuzzy metric spaces and we prove a common fixed point theorem for six mappings under the condition of weakly compatible mappings in complete m-fuzzy metric spaces.

in this paper, by using a new approach on distance between two fuzzy numbers, we construct a new ranking system for fuzzy number which is very realistic and also matching our intuition as the crisp ranking system on r.

ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. many different methods have been proposed to deal with ranking fuzzy numbers. constructing ranking indexes based on the centroid of fuzzy numbers is an important case. but some weaknesses are found in these indexes. the purpose of this paper is to give a new ranking index to rank vario...
