In 1965, in his pioneer paper L.A. Zadeh [9] introduced the concept of fuzzy set to handle the uncertainties in our daily life. After that many generalizations of fuzzy sets are presented, for example, interval valued fuzzy sets [10] and intuitionistic fuzzy sets [1]. Fuzzy sets are extremely useful to solve many problems in applied mathematics, information sciences and theory of automata [2]. ...

it is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

Current computer security systems are based on the premise that once a user presents valid credentials to the authentication system (e.g. valid ID and password), they are granted access permission to all resources assigned to the user that they claim to be. However, numerous studies have shown that most security breaches are done by unauthorized users impersonating as authorized users (e.g. by ...

Fuzzy relation-based models for handling uncertainty (in a non-probabilistic way) in diagnosis problems have been introduced by Sanchez about twenty years ago, and since then applied and developed by several researchers. The paper first reviews the existing proposals, also including the association-based abductive model proposed by Reggia and his co-workers, which uses non-fuzzy relations. A ne...

Targeting behavior of vehicles in the battlefield (Target Analysis) is one of the most critical tasks in Computer Generated Forces (CGF) systems. This is simply because of many complex and ambiguous factors that can effect the targeting behavior of such systems in the real world. There has been many approaches including using Fuzzy Set Theory for Target Analysis. Target detection, and threat an...

We implement an algorithm that uses a system of fuzzy relation equations (SFRE) with the max-min composition for solving a problem of spatial analysis. We integrate this algorithm in a Geographical Information System (GIS) tool, and the geographical area under study is divided in homogeneous subzones (with respect to the parameters involved) to which we apply our process to determine the sympto...

Recently, bipolar fuzzy sets have been studied and applied a bit enthusiastically and a bit increasingly. In this paper we prove that bipolar fuzzy sets and [0,1](2)-sets (which have been deeply studied) are actually cryptomorphic mathematical notions. Since researches or modelings on real world problems often involve multi-agent, multi-attribute, multi-object, multi-index, multi-polar informat...
