Applications of Fuzzy Orderings: An Overview
This contribution aims at the dissemination of a similarity-based generalization of fuzzy orderings, however, not from a purely theoretical perspective, but from the viewpoint of possible practical applications. After a short motivation of similarity-based fuzzy orderings, we consider four case studies with the aim to illustrate the application potential of fuzzy orderings—flexible query answer...
متن کاملSimilarity-Based Fuzzy Orderings: Recent Advances
Fuzzy orderings with reference to an underlying context of similarity were first defined by Höhle and Blanchard [9]. Since then, several authors have contributed to the development of this class of fuzzy relations, both from the theoretical and the practical side (e.g. [1–4, 7, 8]). Two problems remained open throughout several years: how to define strict fuzzy orderings and how to define lexic...
متن کاملStrict Fuzzy Orderings in a Similarity-Based Setting
This paper introduces and justifies a similaritybased concept of strict fuzzy orderings and provides constructions how fuzzy orderings can be transformed into strict fuzzy orderings and vice versa. We demonstrate that there is a meaningful correspondence between fuzzy orderings and strict fuzzy orderings. Unlike the classical case, however, we do not obtain a general one-to-one correspondence. ...
متن کاملA Similarity-Based Generalization of Fuzzy Orderings Preserving the Classical Axioms
Equivalence relations and orderings are key concepts of mathematics. For both types of relations, formulations within the framework of fuzzy relations have been proposed already in the early days of fuzzy set theory. While similarity (indistinguishability) relations have turned out to be very useful tools, e.g. for the interpretation of fuzzy partitions and fuzzy controllers, the utilization of...
