this study is an investigation of fuzzy linear regression model for crisp/fuzzy input and fuzzy output data. a least absolutes deviations approach to construct such a model is developed by introducing and applying a new metric on the space of fuzzy numbers. the proposed approach, which can deal with both symmetric and non-symmetric fuzzy observations, is compared with several existing models by...

we study interior operators and interior structures in a fuzzy setting.we investigate systems of “almost open” fuzzy sets and the relationshipsto fuzzy interior operators and fuzzy interior systems.

here we consider the p-center problem on different types of fuzzy networks. in particular, we are interested in the networks with interval and triangular fuzzy arc lengths and vertex-weights. a methodology to obtain the best satisfaction level of the decision maker who wishes to reduce the cost within the tolerance limits is proposed. illustrative examples are provided.

In this paper, following the ideas of (continuous) t-norm and interval numbers, a concept of (continuous) interval-valued t-norm is proposed. Based on the interval-valued fuzzy set and the continuous interval-valued t-norm, we propose a notion of interval-valued fuzzy metric space, which is a generalization of fuzzy metric space in the sense of George and Veeramani [Fuzzy Sets and Systems 64 (1...

Finite sets are one of the most fundamental mathematical structures. In the absence of the axiom of choice there are many different inequivalent definitions of finite even in classical logic. When we allow incomplete existence as in fuzzy sets the situation gets even more complicated. This paper gives nine distinct definitions of finite in a fuzzy context together with examples showing how the ...

We explore a notion of fuzzy T -neighbourhood spaces, for any continuous triangular norm T , and we present on this notion a uni6ed treatment. Our theory, on one hand, generalizes the theory of Lowen (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 7 (1982) 65) from T =Min to arbitrary T , which has been the progenitor of this work, and on the other hand it is strongly related to the theory of L-neighbourhoods of H; oh...

The development and maintenance of software reliability enjoys a high priority in the evolution of modern computer technology. Over the last three decades or so, a tremendous amount of research has gone into the theory and practice of producing reliable software. Given the many subjective factors that in3uence software reliability, it is surprising that very little of this research has been dir...

maji et al. introduced the concept of fuzzy soft sets as a generalization of the standard soft sets and presented an application of fuzzy soft sets in a decision making problem. in this paper, we apply fuzzy soft sets to  -hyperrings. the concept of ( , q )       -fuzzy soft  -hyperideals of  -hyperrings is first introduced. some new characterizations are investigated. in particular, a...

The complex t-spherical fuzzy set (Ct-SFS) is a potent tool for representing fuzziness and uncertainty compared to the picture sets spherical sets. It plays key role in modeling problems that require two-dimensional data. present study purposes aggregation technique of Ct-SFSs with aid Aczel–-Alsina (AA) operations. We first introduce certain novel AA operations Ct-SFSs, such as sum, product, s...
