This study explores the critical factors influencing the energy service contracting market in Turkey. Fuzzy cognitive mapping that allows dynamic modeling of the behavior of uncertain and complex systems was used to model the energy service contracting system. Qualitative simulations were performed in order to predict changes in the system and to observe whether an equilibrium state is reached....

The normative literature within the field of Knowledge Management has tended to concentrate on techniques and methodologies for codifying knowledge. Similarly, the literature on organizational learning, focuses on aspects of those knowledge that are pertinent at the macro-organizational level (i.e. the overall business). There remains little published literature on how knowledge management and ...

and Applied Analysis 3 is Cauchy. If each Cauchy sequence is convergent, then the fuzzy norm is said to be complete, and the fuzzy normed space is called a fuzzy Banach space. Let X,N be a fuzzy normed space and Y,N ′ a fuzzy Banach space. For a given mapping f : X → Y , we use the abbreviation Df ( x, y ) : f ( 2x y ) f ( 2x − y 2f x − fx y − fx − y − 2f 2x , 2.1 for all x, y ∈ X. Recall Df ≡ ...

In this paper we investigate common xed point theorems for contraction mapping in fuzzy metric space introduced by Gregori and Sapena [V. Gregori, A. Sapena, On xed-point the- orems in fuzzy metric spaces, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 125 (2002), 245-252].

The development of a novel soft computing approach to model the supervisor of manufacturing systems is described, it is named Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) and it is used to model the behaviour of complex systems. Fuzzy cognitive maps combine characteristics of both fuzzy logic and neural networks. The description and the construction of fuzzy cognitive maps are examined, a new methodology for de...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of fuzzy α-weakly r-continuous mapping on a fuzzy topological space and investigate some properties of such a mapping and the relationships among fuzzy α-weakly r-continuity, fuzzy r-continuity and fuzzy weakly r-continuity.

in this note, we aim to present some properties of the space of all weakly fuzzy bounded linear operators, with the bag and samanta’s operator norm on felbin’s-type fuzzy normed spaces. in particular, the completeness of this space is studied. by some counterexamples, it is shown that the inverse mapping theorem and the banach-steinhaus’s theorem, are not valid for this fuzzy setting. also...
