it is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. many different methods have been proposed to deal with ranking fuzzy numbers. constructing ranking indexes based on the centroid of fuzzy numbers is an important case. but some weaknesses are found in these indexes. the purpose of this paper is to give a new ranking index to rank vario...

This paper first improves Chen and Hsieh’s definition of generalized fuzzy numbers, which makes it the generalization of definition of fuzzy numbers. Secondly, in terms of the generalized fuzzy numbers set, we introduce two different kinds of orders and arithmetic operations and metrics based on the λ-cutting sets or generalized λ-cutting sets, so that the generalized fuzzy numbers are integrat...

In the literature, there are a lot of methods concerning the problem of ordering the interval numbers k , ~ ] , [y,g], ... (', ') or the fuzzy ones A, B , ... (see 4, and for a n overview of methods). All of these methods can be classified a s belonging t o two different approaches. (i) Ordering t h e crisp or the fuzzy intervals using binary order relations: [ c , ~ ] 4 [ y , ~ ] , A 5 B, .......

The paper is devoted to a general aggregation operator acting on L-fuzzy real numbers. It is defined as a t-norm based extension of an ordinary aggregation operator. The aim of our research is to analyze properties of the general aggregation operator depending on properties of the ordinary aggregation operator and the t-norm. By using the general aggregation operator we consider the properties ...

The theory of fuzzy measures and fuzzy integrals was introduced by S u g e n o [16] and intensively studied. Monographs [15] and [18] are dedicated to this topic. Recently, several classical inequalities were generalized to fuzzy integral. F l o r e sF r a n u l i č and R o m á n-F l o r e s [11] provided a Chebyshev type inequality for fuzzy integral of continuous and strictly monotone functio...

This paper attempts to generalize universal algebras on classical sets to $L$-sets when $L$ is a GL-quantale. Some basic notions of fuzzy universal algebra on an $L$-set are introduced, such as subalgebra, quotient algebra, homomorphism, congruence, and direct product etc. The properties of them are studied. $L$-valued power algebra is also introduced and it is shown there is an onto homomorphi...

bilevel linear programming  is a decision making problem with a two-level decentralized organization. the textquotedblleft leadertextquotedblright~ is in the upper level and the textquotedblleft followertextquotedblright, in the lower. making a decision at one level affects that at the other one. in this paper, bilevel linear programming  with inexact parameters has been studied and a method is...

there are many situations for statistical process in which we have both random and vagueinformation. when uncertainty is due to fuzziness of information, fuzzy statistical control charts play animportant role in the monitoring process, because they simultaneously deal with both kinds of uncertainty.dealing with fuzzy characteristics using classical methods may cause the loss of information and ...
