The point of departure in this paper is the definition of a language, L, as a fuzzy relation from a set of terms, T= {x}, to a universe of discourse, U = {y}. As a fuzzy relation, L is characterized by its membership function c(=: T x CJ --f [O,l], which associates with each ordered pair (x,y) its grade of membership, &,y), in L. Given a particular x in T, the membership function &x,y) defines ...

In this paper, the concept of (∈,∈ ∨ qk)-fuzzy quasi-ideals of an ordered semigroup S is introduced by the ordered fuzzy points of S, which is a generalization of fuzzy quasi-ideal of S, and related properties are investigated. Furthermore, we introduce the concepts of prime and completely semiprime (∈,∈ ∨ qk)-fuzzy quasi-ideals of ordered semigroups, and characterize bi-regular ordered semigro...

the intuitionistic fuzzy set has been applied to game theory very rarely since it was introduced by atanassov in 1983. the aim of this paper is to develop an effective methodology for solving matrix games with payoffs of atanassov’s triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (tifns). in this methodology, the concepts and ranking order relations of atanassov’s tifns are defined. a pair of bi-object...

A fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy set (FNIFS) is a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy set. The fundamental characteristic of FNIFS is that the values of its membership function and non-membership function are trigonometric fuzzy numbers rather than exact numbers. In this paper, we define some operational laws of fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, and, based on these operational la...

Yager’s ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator has been widely used in soft decision making to aggregate experts’ individual opinions or preferences for achieving an overall decision. The traditional Yager’s OWA operator focuses exclusively on the aggregation of crisp numbers. However, human experts usually tend to express their opinions or preferences in a very natural way via linguistic te...

Let S be an ordered semigroup. In this paper we first introduce the concepts of (∈,∈ ∨qk)-fuzzy ideals, (∈,∈ ∨qk)-fuzzy bi-ideals and (∈,∈ ∨qk)-fuzzy generalized bi-ideals of an ordered semigroup S by the ordered fuzzy points of S, and investigate their related properties. Furthermore, characterizations of regular ordered semigroups by the properties of (∈,∈ ∨qk)-fuzzy left ideals, (∈,∈ ∨qk)-fu...

In this thesis we present two new methods for discovering knowledge from ordered datasets using Baldwin’s mass assignment and the Fril programming language. We derive our methods from human observation and knowledge handling computing techniques. We define this combination of observed human behaviour and conventional computing as humanist computing. The first method represents trends in ordered...

We describe the formal equivalence between interval valued and intuitionistic fuzzy subsets. We then discuss the role of fuzzy set methods in multi-criteria decision-making. We note that when an application involves non-standard, interval valued or intuitionistic fuzzy subsets, a problem arises in choosing a best alternative. This problem is a result of the fact that the membership grades of th...

‎ in the present article‎, ‎we study some categorical properties of the category {$bf‎ cpo_{sep}$-$s$} of all {separately strict $s$-cpo's}; cpo's equipped with‎ a compatible right action of a separately strict cpo-monoid $s$ which is‎ strict continuous in each component‎. ‎in particular‎, we show that this category is reflective and coreflective in the‎ category of $s$-cpo's‎, ‎find the free a...
