Welcome to the Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems’s special issue for “FUZZYSS’2009: 1st International Fuzzy Systems Symposium”. Since its introduction by Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh fuzzy logic has found numerous applications in many diverse areas. Scientific research related to fuzzy logic and its extensions is still an open and promising active research area. There is still a very long way to...

In this paper, the notions of L-fuzzy subalgebra degree and L-subalgebras on an effect algebra are introduced some characterizations given. We use four kinds cut sets L-subsets to characterize degree. induce convexity by degree, we prove that a morphism between two algebras is preserving mapping monomorphism convex-to-convex mapping. Finally, it proved set all can form L-convexity, its L-convex...

This paper studies the control synthesis problem of Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems. By splitting the premise variable spaces and using the properties of fuzzy sets, a new control scheme is proposed based on a new class of fuzzy Lyapunov functions, and a convex condition for designing fuzzy controllers is given, where the new fuzzy Lyapunov functions and fuzzy controllers are constructed base...

In this paper, we give the correlation and difference between M-convex fuzzy process and SLW-convex fuzzy process, and present some basic properties of these convex fuzzy processes, which improve some known results about the connection between those convex fuzzy processes and their graphs. In addition, we introduce a new notion of s-convex fuzzy process as a generalization of M-convex fuzzy pro...

We introduce a new class of fuzzy open sets called fuzzy $bigwedge_e$ sets which includes the class of fuzzy $e$-open sets. We also define a weaker form of fuzzy $bigwedge_e$ sets termed as fuzzy locally $bigwedge_e$ sets. By means of these new sets, we present the notions of fuzzy $bigwedge_e$ continuity and fuzzy locally $bigwedge_e$ continuity which are weaker than fuzzy $e$-continuity and f...

For a non-degenerate convex subset Y of the n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn , let K(Y ) be the family of all fuzzy sets of Rn , which are upper-semicontinuous, fuzzy convex and normal with compact supports contained in Y. We show that the space K(Y ) with the topology of endograph metric is homeomorphic to the Hilbert cube Q = [−1, 1] iff Y is compact; and the space K(Y ) is homeomorphic to {(...

Fuzzy relations are able to model vagueness, in the sense that they provide the degree to which two objects are related to each other. However, they cannot model uncertainty: there is no means to attribute reliability information to the membership degrees. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets, as de1ned by Atanassov (Instuitionistic Fuzzy Sets, Physica-Verlag, Heidelberg, New York, 1999), give us a way to...

in this paper we introduce a sequential block iterative method and its simultaneous version with op-timal combination of weights (instead of convex combination) for solving convex feasibility problems.when the intersection of the given family of convex sets is nonempty, it is shown that any sequencegenerated by the given algorithms converges to a feasible point. additionally for linear feasibil...

Fuzziness is not a priori an obvious concept and demands some explanation. “Fuzziness” is what Black (NF 1937) calls “vagueness” when he distinguishes it from “generality” and from “ambiguity.” Generalizing refers to the application of a symbol to a multiplicity of objects in the field of reference, ambiguity to the association of a finite number of alternative meanings having the same phonetic...
