Finding a product with high quality and reasonable price online is a difficult task due to the fuzzy nature of data and queries. In order to handle the fuzzy problem, a new type-2 fuzzy reasoning based decision support system, the Web Shopping Expert for online users is proposed. In the Web Shopping Expert, an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system is used and a fuzzy output can be obtained using t...

This paper aims to establish the relationship between two apparent disparate problems: (i) the aggregation of uncertain information modelled by type-1 fuzzy sets via OWA mechanism, and (ii) the computation of the centroid of type-2 fuzzy sets. In order to cut down the computational complexity of the direct approach to performing type-1 OWA operation, the α-level approach to type-1 OWA operators...

T is my great pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural I issue of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON FUZZY SYSTEMS. Many of you are probably quite familiar with the basic ideas underlying fuzzy sets and systems that utilize fuzzy models. However, there will also be readers who are looking at the contents of this issue, wondering what it’s all about. For this latter group, the papers in this first issue m...

Abstract This paper has represented a soft-set in the type-2 environment by its simplest form as an augmentation to theories. Furthermore, we have applied fuzzy soft set(T2FSS) using our most straightforward representation find solution of decision-making-problem (DMP) based-on T2FSS well weighted set (WT2FSS). We proposed two definitions, namely, Mid- $$\alpha $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://ww...

We describe fuzzy sets of type-2 and look at the definition of some of the available operations. With the aid of the extension principle we suggest some operations for implementing the concept of containment between fuzzy sets of type-2. We discuss the idea of specificity of a fuzzy set. We suggest a procedure for calculating the specificity of a interval value type-2 fuzzy subset. We show the ...
