The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) and fuzzy decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (fuzzy DEMATEL) have been used to obtain weights for criteria and relationships among dimensions and criteria respectively. The twomethods could be integrated since it serves different purposes. Previous research suggested that the weights of criteria and the relationships among dimensions...

This paper proposes a method to estimate the a priori probability for speakers based on the training data set, speaker models and a fuzzy estimation technique. Speaker identification experiments performed on 138 Gaussian mixture speaker models in the YOHO database using the priors estimated by the fuzzy estimation method showed lower error rates than using those estimated by the probabilistic e...

The purpose of this paper is to create an interval estimation of the fuzzy system reliability for the repairable multistate series-parallel system (RMSS). Two-sided fuzzy confidence interval for the fuzzy system reliability is constructed. The performance of fuzzy confidence interval is considered based on the coverage probability and the expected length. In order to obtain the fuzzy system rel...

Evolution strategy (ES) is a well-known instance of evolutionary algorithms, and there have been many studies on ES. In this paper, the author proposes an extended ES for solving fuzzy-valued optimization problems. In the proposed ES, genotype values are not real numbers but fuzzy numbers. Evolutionary processes in the ES are extended so that it can handle genotype instances with fuzzy numbers....

In this paper a new type of fuzzy multifunction termed as δ-precontinuous fuzzy multifunction has been introduced and studied. Some characterizations and several properties of this multifunction are obtained. We also characterize this multifunction by newly define fuzzy neighbourhood of a fuzzy set in a fuzzy topological space. Finally, in the last section some applications of this fuzzy multif...

We review two existing interpretations of fuzzy random variables. In the first one, the fuzzy random variable is viewed as a linguistic random variable. In the second case, it represents some incomplete knowledge about an otherwise standard random variable. For each interpretation, the information provided by the frv is described by a specific model, namely a standard probability model and a se...

he fuzzy set introduced by L.A.Zadeh [16] in 1965 and the rough set introduced by Pawlak [12] in 1982 are generalizations of the classical set theory. Both these set theories are new mathematical tool to deal the uncertain, vague, imprecise and inexact data. In Zadeh fuzzy set theory, the degree of membership of elements of a set plays the key role, whereas in Pawlak rough set theory, the equiv...

The objective of this paper is to finds the lower and upper bounds Nordhaus-Gaddum inequalities fuzzy chromatic number for anti-fuzzy graph. This analyzes index complementary anti graphs in some cases. A theorem proved graph be k-critical. Examples are provided derive vertex coloring these graphs.
