This paper is a survey of fuzzy set theory applied in cluster analysis. These fuzzy clustering algorithms have been widely studied and applied in a variety of substantive areas. They also become the major techniques in cluster analysis. In this paper, we give a survey of fuzzy clustering in three categories. The first category is the fuzzy clustering based on fuzzy relation. The second one is t...

in this paper, we introduce a considerable machinery which permits us to characterize a number of special (fuzzy) subsets in ag -groupoids. generalizing the concepts of (,q) -fuzzy bi-ideals (interior ideal), we define ( , ) k q -fuzzy bi-ideals, ( , ) k q -fuzzy left (right)-ideals and ( , ) k q -fuzzy interior ideals in ag -groupoids and discuss some fundamental aspects of these i...

in this note by considering a complete lattice l, we define thenotion of an l-fuzzy hyperrelation on a given non-empty set x. then wedefine the concepts of (pom)l-fuzzy graph, hypergraph and subhypergroupand obtain some related results. in particular we construct the categories ofthe above mentioned notions, and give a (full and faithful) functor form thecategory of (pom)l-fuzzy subhypergroups ...

recently, phiangsungnoen et al. [j. inequal. appl. 2014:201 (2014)] studied fuzzy mappings in the framework of hausdorff fuzzy metric spaces.following this direction of research, we establish the existence of fixed fuzzy points of fuzzy mappings. an example is given to support the result proved herein; we also present a coincidence and common fuzzy point result. finally, as an application of ou...

the goal of this paper is to show how the concept of fuzzy logic can be used to establish a degree to which an investment project belongs to a class of risk. also, the probability of the fuzzy event is presented and is ap-plied to calculate the probability of the fuzzy event “the project x is a good investment”. this process has to enable the decision maker to compare several alternative invest...

uml is known as one of the most common methods in software engineering.since this language is semi-formal, many researches and efforts have beenperformed to transform this language into formal methods including petri nets.thus, the operation of verification and validation of the qualitative and nonfunctionalparameters could be achieved with more ability. since the majority of thereal world info...

many ranking methods have been proposed so far. however, there is yet no method that can always give a satisfactory solution to every situation; some are counterintuitive, not discriminating; some use only the local information of fuzzy values; some produce different ranking for the same situation. for overcoming the above problems, we propose a new method for ranking fuzzy quantities based on ...

This paper expresses the prominent futures of fuzzy expert system by applying the algorithm T Fuzzy Assessment Methodology. Fuzzy expert system consists of the following elements such as fuzzification interface, T Fuzzy Assessment Methodology, and defuzzification. T Fuzzy Assessment Methodology uses the K Ratio to find overlapping between membership function and T Fuzzy similarity measure the s...

Problem statement: In this study researchers propose a new fuzzy graph theoretic construct called fuzzy metagraph and a new method of clustering finding the similar fuzzy nodes in a fuzzy metagraph. Approach: We adopted T-norms (Triangular Norms) functions and join two or more Tnorms to cluster the fuzzy nodes. Fuzzy metagraph is the fuzzyfication of the crisp Metagraphs using fuzzy Generating ...
