following the idea of $l$-fuzzy neighborhood system as introduced byfu-gui shi, and its generalization to $(l,m)$-fuzzy neighborhood system, the relationship between  $(l,m)$-fuzzy topology and $(l,m)$-fuzzy neighborhood system will be further studied. as an application of the obtained results, we will describe the initial structures of $(l,m)$-fuzzy neighborhood subspaces and $(l,m)$-fuzzy top...

In this paper, new definitions of $L$-fuzzy closure operator, $L$-fuzzy interior operator, $L$-fuzzy remote neighborhood system, $L$-fuzzy neighborhood system and $L$-fuzzy quasi-coincident neighborhood system are proposed. It is proved that the category of $L$-fuzzy closure spaces, the category of $L$-fuzzy interior spaces, the category of $L$-fuzzy remote neighborhood spaces, the category of ...

OBJECTIVE To examine whether (1) neighborhood disadvantage is associated with social function in 2- and 3-year-olds born at very low birth weight (<1500 g) and (2) the association between social function and child's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is moderated by neighborhood disadvantage.

DESIGN AND METHODS This study is based on a cross-sectional sample of 884 people aged ≥ 65 years identified through service organizations in Alameda County, CA; Cook County, IL; Allegheny County, PA; a...

Community detection is an important task for mining the structure and function of complex networks. In this paper, a novel label propagation approach with α-degree neighborhood impact is proposed for efficiently and effectively detecting communities in networks. Firstly, we calculate the neighborhood impact of each node in a network within the scope of its α-degree neighborhood network by using...
