the starting point of this paper is given by priestley’s papers, where a theory of representation of distributive lattices is presented. the purpose of this paper is to develop a representation theory of fuzzy distributive lattices in the finite case. in this way, some results of priestley’s papers are extended. in the main theorem, we show that the category of finite fuzzy priestley space...

In theory of interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy sets, type-reduction is one of the most difficult parts. Karnik-Mendel (KM) algorithms have been the most popular method for computing type-reduction of IT2 fuzzy sets. These algorithms present two independent procedures for computing the generalized centroid of an IT2 fuzzy set: the first one for computing its left part (denoted by cl), and the second o...

In 2006, Espinola and Kirk made a useful contribution on combining fixed point theoryand graph theory. Recently, Reich and Zaslavski studied a new inexact iterative scheme for fixed points of contractive and nonexpansive multifunctions. In this paper, by using  the main idea of their work and the idea of combining fixed point theory on intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces and graph theory, ...

in this paper, we present a revised similarity measure based onchen-and-chen's similarity measure for fuzzy risk analysis. the revisedsimilarity measure uses the corrected formulae to calculate the centre ofgravity points, therefore it is more  effective than the chen-and-chen'smethod. the revised similarity measure can overcome the drawbacks of theexisting methods. we have also proposed a new ...

using greedy clustering method to solve capacitated location-routing problem with fuzzy demands abstract in this paper, the capacitated location routing problem with fuzzy demands (clrp_fd) is considered. in clrp_fd, facility location problem (flp) and vehicle routing problem (vrp) are observed simultaneously. indeed the vehicles and the depots have a predefined capacity to serve the customerst...

General topology can be regarded as a special case of fuzzy topology where all membership functions in question take values 0 and 1 only. The usual fuzzy metric spaces, fuzzy Hausdorff topological vector spaces, and Menger probabilistic metric spaces are all the special cases of F-type fuzzy topological spaces. Therefore, one would expect weaker results in the case of fuzzy topology. Recently s...

There are a growing number of aerospace applications demonstrating the effectiveness of emulating human decision making using fuzzy logic. In this effort, a previously created MATLAB simulation of the classic arcade game PONG is utilized in which a fuzzy logic system that uses real-time fuzzy reasoning and awareness to represent a two-player team is able to play against various opponents. The o...

The growing availability of high-resolution satellite imagery provides an opportunity for identifying road objects. Most studies associated with road detection are scene-related and also based on the digital number of each pixel. Because images can provide more details (including color, size, shape, and texture), object-based processing is more advantageous. Therefore, in this paper, to handle ...

In this paper, we introduce a new algebra called ‘EQ-algebra’, which is an alternative algebra of truth values for formal fuzzy logics. It is specified by replacing implication as the main operation with a fuzzy equality. Namely, EQ-algebra is a semilattice endowed with a binary operation of fuzzy equality and a binary operation of multiplication. Implication is derived from the fuzzy equality ...

Considering the increasing interest in fuzzy theory and possible applications,the concept of fuzzy metric space concept has been introduced by severalauthors from different perspectives. This paper interprets the theory in termsof metrics evaluated on fuzzy numbers and defines a strong Hausdorff topology.We study interrelationships between this theory and other fuzzy theories suchas intuitionis...
