Soft set theory, fuzzy set theory and rough set theory are all mathematical tools for dealing with uncertainties and are closely related. Feng et al. introduced the notions of rough soft set, soft rough set and soft rough fuzzy set by combining fuzzy set, rough set and soft set all together. This paper is devoted to the discussions of the combinations of intervalvalued intuitionistic fuzzy set,...

contractor selection is one of the most important problem in supply chain and itsstrongly effect on firm`s performance. because a significant amount of auniversity`s budget assigns to construction contracts, contractor selection is animportant problem for the financial status of universities. since contractor selectionis a multi-criteria decision making problem (mcdm), lots of methods proposed ...

In this paper basic notions of the rough intuitionistic fuzzy set theory will be given. In fact the paper concerns a relationship between rough intuitionistic fuzzy sets and lattice theory. We shall introduce the notion of rough intuitionistic fuzzy lattice (resp rough intuitionistic fuzzy ideals). We also defined intuitionistic fuzzy rough set corresponding to a rough set and given conditions ...

Globalization and interdisciplinarity are current trends in engineering fields, nevertheless such engineering projects, implying different companies, cultures and disciplines are complex and require interaction and communication between the people involved. Collaboration-platforms are instruments to lead successfully distributed, multi-disciplinary projects. However designing an appropriate pla...

Many problems in scientific investigation generate nonprecise data incorporating nonstatistical uncertainty. A nonprecise observation of a quantitative variable can be described by a special type of membership function defined on the set of all real numbers called a fuzzy number or a fuzzy interval. A methodology for constructing control charts is proposed when the quality characteristics are v...

Introduction In a series of papers culminating in [Ta84], M.Talagrand, the second author and others investigated at length the properties and structure of pointwise compact sets of measurable functions. A number of problems, interesting in themselves and important for the theory of Pettis integration, were solved subject to various special axioms. It was left unclear just how far the special ax...

the traditional event tree analysis uses a single probability to represent each top event. however, it is unrealistic to evaluate the occurrence of each event by using a crisp value without considering the inherent uncertainty and imprecision a state has. the fuzzy set theory is universally applied to deal with this kind of phenomena. the main purpose of this study is to construct an easy metho...

We proposed the theory of multi-fuzzy sets [Sabu and Ramakrishnan (2010a), (2011a)] as an extension of theories of fuzzy sets, L-fuzzy sets [Goguen (1967)] and intuitionistic fuzzy sets [Atanassov (1986)]. Theory of multi-fuzzy sets deals with multi-level fuzziness and multi-dimensional fuzziness. Our previous papers discussed the basic notions of multi-fuzzy sets, multi-fuzzy topology, and mul...

It is known that the standard intersection and union of type-1 fuzzy sets (i.e., the intersection and union under the minimum t-norm and maximum tconorm) are the only cutworthy operations for type1 fuzzy sets. The aim of this paper is to show that similar property holds also for type-2 fuzzy sets, with respect to some special cutting. As was already demonstrated, the intersection and union of t...

In this paper we model the concept of ”coarseness”, typically used in texture image descriptions, by means of fuzzy sets. Specifically, we relate representative measures of this kind of texture with its presence degree. To obtain these ”presence degrees”, we collect assessments from polls filled by human subjects, performing an aggregation of these assessments by means of OWA operators. Using t...
