in this paper, we construct two fuzzy sets using the notions of level subsets and strong level subsets of a given fuzzy set in a ring r. these fuzzy sets turn out to be identical and provide a universal construction of a fuzzy ideal generated by a given fuzzy set in a ring. using this construction and employing the technique of strong level subsets, we provide the shortest and direct fuzzy set ...

In many practical applications, the need arises to aggregate data of varying dimension. Following from the self-identity property, some recent studies have looked at the stability of aggregation operators in terms of their behavior as the dimensionality is increased from n−1 to n. We use the penalty-based representation of aggregation functions in order to investigate the conditions for weighti...

A granular based semantics for fuzzy measures is introduced in which the measure of a set of propositions approximates the probability of the disjunction of these propositions. This approximation is derived from known probabilities across a granular partition of the set of possible worlds. This interpretation is then extended to allow for the case where there is uncertainty regarding the meanin...

the starting point of this paper is given by priestley’s papers, where a theory of representation of distributive lattices is presented. the purpose of this paper is to develop a representation theory of fuzzy distributive lattices in the finite case. in this way, some results of priestley’s papers are extended. in the main theorem, we show that the category of finite fuzzy priestley space...

Fuzzy Relational Inference (FRI) systems form an important part of approximate reasoning schemes using fuzzy sets. Especially, the compositional rule of inference (CRI) introduced by Zadeh has attracted the most attention so far. In this work we show that the FRI scheme based on the BandlerKohout subproduct along with a suitable realisation of the fuzzy rules, does possess all the important pro...

let $r$ be a commutative ring. we write $mbox{hom}(mu_a, nu_b)$ for the set of all fuzzy $r$-morphisms from $mu_a$ to $nu_b$, where $mu_a$ and $nu_b$ are two fuzzy $r$-modules. we make$mbox{hom}(mu_a, nu_b)$ into fuzzy $r$-module by redefining a function $alpha:mbox{hom}(mu_a, nu_b)longrightarrow [0,1]$. we study the properties of the functor $mbox{hom}(mu_a,-):frmbox{-mod}rightarrow frmbox{-mo...

in this paper, some fundamental concepts are given relating to fuzzytopological spaces. then it is shown that there is a contravariant functorfrom the category of the pointed fuzzy topological spaces to the category ofgroups and homomorphisms. also the fuzzy topological spaces which are hopfspaces are investigated and it is shown that a pointed fuzzy toplogicalspace having the same homotopy typ...

fuzzy rough n-ary subhypergroups are introduced and characterized.

Maddy’s 1990 arguments against Aggregate Theory were undermined by the shift in her position in 1997. The present paper considers Aggregate Theory in the light this, and the recent search for ‘New Axioms for ∗. Portions of this paper are reproduced from ‘Aggregate Theory versus Set Theory’ Erkenntnis 59(2), 189-202 (2003), with kind permission from Kluwer Academic Publishers. Philosophia Scient...

in this paper we introduce the notions of fuzzy transposition hypergroupsand fuzzy regular relations and investigate their basic properties.we also study fuzzy quotient hypergroups of a fuzzy transposition hypergroup.
