it is firstly proved that the multi-input-single-output (miso) fuzzy systems based on interval-valued $r$- and $s$-implications can approximate any continuous function defined on a compact set to arbitrary accuracy.  a formula to compute the lower upper bounds on the number  of interval-valued fuzzy sets needed to achieve a pre-specified approximation  accuracy for an arbitrary multivariate con...

Research on soft set based decision making has received much attention in recent years. Feng et al. presented an adjustable approach to fuzzy soft sets based decision making by using level soft set, and subsequently extended the approach to interval-valued fuzzy soft set based decision making. Jiang et al. generalize the approach to solve intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets based decision making. In...

In this paper we consider physical systems and the concept of their states in the context of the theory of fuzzy sets and systems. In section 1 we give a brief sketch on the fundamental difference between the theories of classical physics and quantum mechanics. In section 2 and 3 we introduce very shortly systems and their states in classical and quantum mechanics, respectively. Section 4 prese...

In this paper, we introduce the sets of bounded, convergent and null series and the set of sequences of bounded variation of fuzzy numbers with the level sets. We investigate the relationships between these sets and their classical forms and give some properties including definitions, lemmas and various kind of fuzzy metric spaces. Furthermore, we study some of their properties like completenes...

In this paper, we concern with SLLN for sums of independent random upper-semicontinuous fuzzy sets. We first give a generalization of SLLN for sums of independent and level-wise identically distributed random fuzzy sets, and establish a SLLN for sums of random fuzzy sets which is independent and compactly uniformly integrable in the strong sense. As a result, a SLLN for sums of independent and ...

Ulrich Höhle was born on 6 December 1943 in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany. Being musically and mathematically gifted (among others), he could not decide between music and mathematics, so he began his studies in both directions: mathematics and music (piano) at Johannes-Gutenberg Universität in Mainz (1963–1966). After having realized his true vocation, he decided to become a mathematician and continu...

To have a real option means to have the possibility for a certain period to either choose for or against making an invetsment decision, without binding oneself up front. The real option rule is that one should invest today only if the net present value is high enough to compensate for giving up the value of the option to wait. Because the option to invest loses its value when the investment is ...

Fuzzy decision-making consists in making decisions under complex and uncertain environments where the information can be assessed with fuzzy sets and systems. The aim of this study is to review the main contributions in this field by using a bibliometric approach. For doing so, the article uses a wide range of bibliometric indicators including the citations and the h-index. Moreover, it also us...

Let X denote a locally compact metric space and φ : X → X be a continuous map. In the 1970s L. Zadeh presented an extension principle, helping us to fuzzify the dynamical system (X, φ), i.e., to obtain a map Φ for the space of fuzzy sets on X. We extend an idea mentioned in [P. Diamond, A. Pokrovskii, Chaos, entropy and a generalized extension principle, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 61 (1994)] and we...
