Operations Research present state and future trends are analyzed from the Fuzzy-Sets-based methodologies point of view. Then, in a more particular perspective, some specific topics of Fuzzy-Sets-based models in Operations Research, such as fuzzy optimization, preference modelling, linguistic modelling and decision models, as well as some other well known Operations Research specific topics, are...

In this paper a network comprising alternative branching nodes with probabilistic outcomes is considered. In other words, network nodes are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. First, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of network. Then, it is assumed that the duration of activities is positive trapezoidal fuzzy number (TFN). This paper com...

In this paper, the notion ofgraph operationsdisjunction and symmetric difference on bipolar fuzzy graphs are defined and it is proved that the new graph is a bipolar graph. Furthermore,the new concepts of bipolar fuzzy graphs calledupperstrong and lower strongbipolar fuzzy graphare introduced and some related </...

The main purposes of this paper are to probe for the entropy differences between arithmetically manipulated Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFNs) using Shannon’s Function; and to study the relationships between any two TFNs. Simultaneously, we expand on the articles of Wang et al. [6] and Wang et al. [5]. The entropy differences between two TFNs subjected to different arithmetic operations are classi...

Defining the standard Boolean operations on fuzzy Booleans with the compositional rule of inference (CRI) or Zadeh's extension principle gives counter-intuitive results. We introduce and motivate a slight adaptation of the CRI, which only effects the results for non-normal fuzzy sets. It is shown that the adapted CRI gives the expected results for the standard Boolean operations on fuzzy Boolea...

in this note first by considering the notion of general fuzzy automata (for simplicity gfa), we define the notions of direct product, restricted direct product and join of two gfa. also, we introduce some operations on (fuzzy) sets and then prove some related theorems. finally we construct the general fuzzy recognizers and recognizable sets and give the notion of (trim) reversal of a given gfa....

Is it possible that a block cipher apparently immune to classical differential cryptanalysis can be attacked considering a different operation on the message space? Recently Calderini and Sala showed how to effectively compute alternative operations on a vector space which can serve as message space for a block cipher such that the resulting structure is still a vector space. The latter were us...

In this paper, we have presented a new method to evaluate fuzzy linear regression models based on Tanaka’s approach, where both input data and output data are fuzzy numbers, using Tw-based fuzzy arithmetic operations. This method simpli3es the computation of fuzzy arithmetic operations. General linear program is applied to derive the solutions. We also prove scale-independent property of our mo...

In this paper we investigated some operations on fuzzy h-ideals. Among all the results, we show that the set of all fuzzy left h-ideals of a Γ−hemiring S is zerosumfree hemiring having infinite element 1 under the operations of sum and composition of fuzzy left h-ideals of S.
