The goal of this paper is to consider properties of the composition of interval-valued fuzzy relations which were introduced by L.A. Zadeh in 1975. Fuzzy set theory turned out to be a useful tool to describe situations in which the data are imprecise or vague. Interval-valued fuzzy set theory is a generalization of fuzzy set theory which was introduced also by Zadeh in 1965. This paper generali...

In this paper, a new soft computing group decision method based on the concept of compromise ratio is introduced for determining decision makers (DMs)' weights through the group decision process under uncertainty. In this method, preferences and judgments of the DMs or experts are expressed by linguistic terms for rating the industrial alternatives among selected criteria as well as the relativ...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem based on the arithmetic and geometric aggregation operators with interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Then, motivated by the ideal of traditional arithmetic operation, we have developed some aggregation operators for aggregating interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic information: i...

We introduce the concept of quasi-coincidence of a fuzzy interval value with an interval valued fuzzy set. By using this new idea, we introduce the notions of interval valued (∈,∈ ∨ q)-fuzzy filters of pseudo BL-algebras and investigate some of their related properties. Some characterization theorems of these generalized interval valued fuzzy filters are derived. The relationship among these ge...

Dubois and Prade introduced the mean value of a fuzzy number as a closed interval bounded by the expectations calculated from its upper and lower distribution functions. In this paper introducing the notations of lower possibilistic and upper possibilistic mean values we definine the interval-valued possibilistic mean and investigate its relationship to the interval-valued probabilistic mean. W...

In this paper, the problem of measuring the degree of inclusion and similarity measure for two   interval-valued intuitionistic  fuzzy sets is considered. We propose inclusion and similarity measure by using  order on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets connected with lexicographical order. Moreover, some properties of inclusion and similarity measure and some correlation, between them an...

In recent years, geometric-mean averaging operators (GMA operators) have been proposed to overcome the drawbacks of the existing T-operators and averaging operators for handling the Boolean “AND” and “OR” operations in fuzzy information retrieval. However, the GMA operators can not deal with queries represented by generalized fuzzy numbers. In this paper, we present generalized fuzzy number geo...

A fuzzy logic controller with interval-valued inference mechanism is presented for the control of distributed parameter system (DPS). Interval-valued fuzzy set, a special case of type-2 fuzzy set, is innovatively designed to cope with the spatial information of distributed parameter systems. The proposed fuzzy logic controller is composed of six modules: fuzzifier, fuzzy composition, rules, inf...

A novel approach to the problem of regression modeling for fuzzy input-output data is introduced.In order to estimate the parameters of the model, a distance on the space of interval-valued quantities is employed.By minimizing the sum of squared errors, a class of regression models is derived based on the interval-valued data obtained from the $alpha$-level sets of fuzzy input-output data.Then,...
