The vector space model of information retrieval is one of the classical and widely applied retrieval models. Paradoxically, it has been characterised by a discrepancy between its formal framework and implementable form. The underlying concepts of the vector space model are mathematical terms: linear space, vector, and inner product. However, in the vector space model, the mathematical meaning o...

the aim of this paper is to introduce $(l,m)$-fuzzy closurestructure where $l$ and $m$ are strictly two-sided, commutativequantales. firstly, we define $(l,m)$-fuzzy closure spaces and getsome relations between $(l,m)$-double fuzzy topological spaces and$(l,m)$-fuzzy closure spaces. then, we introduce initial$(l,m)$-fuzzy closure structures and we prove that the category$(l,m)$-{bf fc} of $(l,m...

A non-trivial example of an L-topological space, the L-fuzzy real line is examined. Various L-topological properties and their relationships are developed. Extension theorems on the L-fuzzy real line as well as extension theorems on more general L-topological spaces follow. Finally, a theory of L-fuzzy vector spaces leads up to a fuzzy version of the Hahn-Banach theorem.

A fuzzy logic based similarity measure is introduced as a criterion for the identification of structure in data. An important characteristic of the proposed approach is that cluster prototypes are formed and evaluated in the course of the optimization without any a-priori assumptions about the number of clusters. The intuitively straightforward compound optimization criterion of maximizing the ...

this paper is concerned with the development of a novel classifier for automatic mass detection of mammograms, based on contourlet feature extraction in conjunction with statistical and fuzzy classifiers. in this method, mammograms are segmented into regions of interest (roi) in order to extract features including geometrical and contourlet coefficients. the extracted features benefit from...

The change of land use/land cover has been known as an imperative force in environmental alteration, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This research was mainly aimed to assess the validity of two major types of land change modeling techniques via a three dimensional approach in Birjand urban watershed located in an arid climatic region of Iran. Thus, a Markovian approach based on two suit...

The binary set {0, 1} together with modulo-2 addition and multiplication is called a binary field, which is denoted by F2. The binary field F2 is defined in [1]. A vector space over F2 is called a binary vector space. The set of all binary vectors of length n forms an n-dimensional vector space Vn over F2. Binary fields and n-dimensional binary vector spaces play an important role in practical ...

A fuzzy rough granular self-organizingmap (FRGSOM) involving a 3-dimensional linguistic vector and connection weights, defined in an unsupervised manner, is proposed for clustering patterns having overlapping regions. Each feature of a pattern is transformed into a 3-dimensional granular space using a π-membership function with centers and scaling factors corresponding to the linguistic terms l...

an idea of fuzzy reexivity of felbin's type fuzzy normed linear spaces is introduced and its properties are studied. concept of fuzzy uniform normal structure is given and using the geometric properties of this concept xed point theorems are proved in fuzzy normed linear spaces.

In these notes we review Klimč́ık’s construction of noncommutative gauge theory on the fuzzy supersphere. This theory has an exact SUSY gauge symmetry with a finite number of degrees of freedom and thus in principle it is amenable to the methods of matrix models and Monte Carlo numerical simulations. We also write down in this article a novel fuzzy supersymmetric scalar action on the fuzzy super...
