A Qualitative Notion of Spatial Proximity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The concept of space underlying geographic information systems is basically Euclideazl, requiring all subjects to adhere to the same view of space. This makes most attempts to deal with intprecise or uncertain geographic information difficult or sometimes even impossible. In this paper, we describe a way of incorporating imprecise qualitative spatial reasoning with quantitative reasoning in geographic information systems that is not restricted to Euclidean geometry. The idea is to use fuzzy sets to model qualitative spatial relations among objects, like The downtown shopping mall is close to the harbor. The membership function of such a fuzzy set defines a fuzzy distance operator, for which a new algorithm is introduced in this paper.

Coincidence Quasi-Best Proximity Points for Quasi-Cyclic-Noncyclic Mappings in Convex Metric Spaces
We introduce the notion of quasi-cyclic-noncyclic pair and its relevant new notion of coincidence quasi-best proximity points in a convex metric space. In this way we generalize the notion of coincidence-best proximity point already introduced by M. Gabeleh et al cite{Gabeleh}. It turns out that under some circumstances this new class of mappings contains the class of cyclic-noncyclic mappings ...
متن کاملSmooth biproximity spaces and P-smooth quasi-proximity spaces
The notion of smooth biproximity space where $delta_1,delta_2$ are gradation proximities defined by Ghanim et al. [10]. In this paper, we show every smooth biproximity space $(X,delta_1,delta_2)$ induces a supra smooth proximity space $delta_{12}$ finer than $delta_1$ and $delta_2$. We study the relationship between $(X,delta_{12})$ and the $FP^*$-separation axioms which had been introduced by...

متن کاملProximity Operators for Qualitative Spatial Reasoning
One way to increase the power of Qualitative Spatial Reasoning is to introduce proximity operators (such as close and far) that are surrogates for distance measures. These operators appear to be semi-quantitative in nature as opposed to purely qualitative. In the light of observations drawn from psychometric testing of perceived proximity, this paper discusses how a model to support proximal re...
متن کاملBest proximity point theorems in Hadamard spaces using relatively asymptotic center
In this article we survey the existence of best proximity points for a class of non-self mappings which satisfy a particular nonexpansiveness condition. In this way, we improve and extend a main result of Abkar and Gabeleh [A. Abkar, M. Gabeleh, Best proximity points of non-self mappings, Top, 21, (2013), 287-295] which guarantees the existence of best proximity points for nonex...
