In this paper, following the ideas of (continuous) t-norm and interval numbers, a concept of (continuous) interval-valued t-norm is proposed. Based on the interval-valued fuzzy set and the continuous interval-valued t-norm, we propose a notion of interval-valued fuzzy metric space, which is a generalization of fuzzy metric space in the sense of George and Veeramani [Fuzzy Sets and Systems 64 (1...

Finite sets are one of the most fundamental mathematical structures. In the absence of the axiom of choice there are many different inequivalent definitions of finite even in classical logic. When we allow incomplete existence as in fuzzy sets the situation gets even more complicated. This paper gives nine distinct definitions of finite in a fuzzy context together with examples showing how the ...

We explore a notion of fuzzy T -neighbourhood spaces, for any continuous triangular norm T , and we present on this notion a uni6ed treatment. Our theory, on one hand, generalizes the theory of Lowen (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 7 (1982) 65) from T =Min to arbitrary T , which has been the progenitor of this work, and on the other hand it is strongly related to the theory of L-neighbourhoods of H; oh...

The development and maintenance of software reliability enjoys a high priority in the evolution of modern computer technology. Over the last three decades or so, a tremendous amount of research has gone into the theory and practice of producing reliable software. Given the many subjective factors that in3uence software reliability, it is surprising that very little of this research has been dir...

maji et al. introduced the concept of fuzzy soft sets as a generalization of the standard soft sets and presented an application of fuzzy soft sets in a decision making problem. in this paper, we apply fuzzy soft sets to  -hyperrings. the concept of ( , q )       -fuzzy soft  -hyperideals of  -hyperrings is first introduced. some new characterizations are investigated. in particular, a...

although there are many excellent ways presenting the principle of the classical calculus, the novel presentations probably leads most naturally to the development of the non-newtonian calculus. the important point to note is that the non-newtonian calculus is a self-contained system independent of any other system of calculus. since this self-contained work is intended for a wide audience, inc...

in this paper, we introduce and study the concept of $r$-fuzzy regular semi open (closed) sets in smooth topological spaces. by using $r$-fuzzy regular semi open (closed) sets, we define a new fuzzy closure operator namely $r$-fuzzy regular semi interior (closure) operator. also, we introduce fuzzy regular semi continuous and fuzzy regular semi irresolute mappings. moreover, we investigate the ...
