We provide an extension of the notion of chain-valued frame introduced by Pultr and Rodabaugh in [Category theoretic aspects of chain-valued frames: parts I and II, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 159 (2008) 501–528 and 529–558] by relaxing the assumption that L be a complete chain. As a result of this investigation we formulate the category L-Frm of L-frames under the weaker assumption that L is a comp...

In this state-of-the-art paper, important advances that have been made during the past five years for both general and interval type-2 fuzzy sets and systems are described. Interest in type-2 subjects is worldwide and touches on a broad range of applications and many interesting theoretical topics. The main focus of this paper is on the theoretical topics, with descriptions of what they are, wh...

For arbitrary semimetric space $$(X, d)$$ and disjoint proximinal subsets $$A$$ , $$B$$ of $$X$$ we define the graph as a bipartite with parts whose edges $$\{a, b\}$$ satisfy equality $$d(a, b) = {\text {dist}}(A, B)$$ . We characterize spaces graphs have at most one edge vertices degree $$1$$ only. This allows us to describe necessary sufficient conditions for uniqueness best proximity pairs ...

In reply to Péter Majlender, the connection between the (maximum spread) equidifferent OWA operator weights and the analytical method for the minimum variance OWA operator problem [R. Fullér, P. Majlender, On obtaining minimal variability OWA operator weights, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 136 (2003) 203–215] is pointed out and the differences between them are clarified. 2006 Elsevier Inc.

We reformulate Mesiar’s hypothesis [Possibility measures, integration and fuzzy possibility measures, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 92 (1997) 191196], which as such was shown to be untrue by Murofushi [Two-valued possibility measures induced by σ-finite σ-additive measures, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 126 (2002) 265268]. We prove that a two-valued σ-maxitive measure can be induced by a σ-additive measure u...
