Firstly, two kinds of natural distances between intuitionistic fuzzy sets are generated by the classical natural distance between fuzzy sets under a unified framework of residual intuitionistic implication operators. Secondly, the continuity and approximation property of a method for solving intuitionistic fuzzy reasoning are defined. It is proved that the triple implication method for intuitio...

Relational continuity refers to the duration and quality of the relationship between the care provider and the patient. Management continuity ensures that patients receive coherent, complementary, and timely care. There are 4 components of continuity of care: duration, density, dispersion, and sequence...

The objective of this paper is to study some new analytical properties of credibility functions. We first discuss the continuity of credibility functions, and establish the sufficient and necessary conditions for the right continuity and left continuity of credibility functions. Furthermore, we study the absolute continuity of credibility functions and obtain some sufficient conditions for the ...
