In this paper we present a different framework for the study of fuzzy finite machines and their fuzzy languages. Unlike the previous work on fuzzy languages, characterized by fuzzification at the level of their acceptors/generators, here we follow a top-down approach by starting our fuzzification with more abstract entities: monoids and particular families in monoids. Moreover, we replace the u...

The image data as well as the nature of querying image data is fuzzy. Users like to retrieve images based on similarity rather than exact matching. Often, the users are able to provide only partial information while posing queries. As a consequence, the query languages of traditional databases which deal with precise data are inappropriate for querying image data. Content based retrieval system...

Although the usefulness of fuzzy databases has been pointed out in several works, they are not fully developed in numerous domains. A task that is mostly disregarded and which is the topic of this paper is the determination of suitable inequalities for fuzzy sets in fuzzy query languages. This paper examines which kinds of fuzzy inequalities exist at all. Afterwards, different procedures are pr...

in this note first by considering the notion of general fuzzy automata (for simplicity gfa), we define the notions of direct product, restricted direct product and join of two gfa. also, we introduce some operations on (fuzzy) sets and then prove some related theorems. finally we construct the general fuzzy recognizers and recognizable sets and give the notion of (trim) reversal of a given gfa....

The concept of duality plays an important role in optimization theory. This paper discusses some relations between primal and dual nonlinear programming problems in fuzzy environment. Here, fuzzy feasible region for a general fuzzy nonlinear programming is formed and the concept of fuzzy feasible solution is defined. First order dual relation for fuzzy nonlinear programming problem is studied.

In this note we consider the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) dual hyper K-ideals and obtain related results. Then we classify this notion according to level sets. After that we determine the relationships between intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) dual hyper K-ideals and intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) hyper K-ideals. Finally, we define the notion of the product of two intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) du...

Expression and processing of vagueness, which has many real world applications, are not handled effectively in the conventional relational data model. In this paper we investigate a fuzzy extension to the relational data model and propose three fuzzy relational query languages. Two of them are the Level-1 Fuzzy Relational Algebra and Level-1 Fuzzy Relational Calculus. They are fundamental query...

Two new powerful mathematical languages, fuzzy set theory and possibility theory, have led to two optimization types that explicitly incorporate data whose values are not real-valued nor probabilistic: 1) flexible optimization and 2) optimization under generalized uncertainty. Our aim is to make clear what these two types are, make distinctions, and show how they can be applied. Flexible optimi...

We study a Lindenmayer-like parallel rewriting system to model the growth of filaments (arrays of cells) in which developmental errors may occur. In essence this model is the fuzzy analogue of the derivation-controlled iteration grammar. Under minor assumptions on the family of control languages and on the family of fuzzy languages in the underlying iteration grammar, we show that (i) regular c...
