seismic hazard assessment like many other issues in seismology is a complicated problem, which is due to variety of parameters affecting the occurrence of earthquake. uncertainty, which is a result of vagueness and incompleteness of the data, should be considered in a rationale way. herein, fuzzy set theory is used to take into account the uncertainty existed in the seismic hazard analysis. the...

Selecting suitable locations for the disposal of medical waste is a serious matter. This study aims to propose novel approach selecting optimal landfill using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods. For better considerations uncertainty in choosing landfill, MCDM methods are extended by spherical fuzzy sets (SFS). The identified criteria affecting selection location landfilling include t...

in 1997, fang proposed the concept of boundedness of $l$-fuzzy setsin $l$-topological vector spaces. since then, this concept has beenwidely accepted and adopted in the literature. in this paper,several characterizations of bounded $l$-fuzzy sets in$l$-topological vector spaces are obtained and some properties ofbounded $l$-fuzzy sets are investigated.

Microscopic simulation modelling has recently become attractive to researchers in traffic engineering as it appears to offer a cost effective and ‘safe’ way of investigating Intelligent Vehicle-Highway System (IVHS) at a fundamental level. However, the deterministic approach used assumes a consistency of behaviour which may severely detract from model validity. This may be overcome by using a ‘...

Shortest Path Problem where the time/cost have vague value is one of the most studied problems in Fuzzy sets and systems area. Thus numerous articles have focused on the Fuzzy Shortest Path Problem (FSPP) in a network. This paper, presents the fuzzy shortest length heuristic procedure if the length of the path in the network is trapezoidal fuzzy set where the highest similarity degree is utiliz...

A novel concept of quaternionic fuzzy sets (QFSs) is presented in this paper. QFSs are a generalization traditional and complex based on quaternions. The novelty that the range membership function set quaternions with modulus less than or equal to one, which real imaginary parts can be used for four different features. discussion made intuitive interpretation quaternion-valued grades possible a...

Hierarchical structures and uncertainty measures are two main aspects in granular computing, approximate reasoning and cognitive process. Typical hesitant fuzzy sets, as a prime extension of fuzzy sets, are more flexible to reflect the hesitance and ambiguity in knowledge representation and decision making. In this paper, we mainly investigate the hierarchical structures and uncertainty measure...

an orthogonal approach to the fuzzification of both multisets and hybridsets is presented. in particular, we introduce $l$-multi-fuzzy and$l$-fuzzy hybrid sets, which are general enough and in spirit with thebasic concepts of fuzzy set theory. in addition, we study the properties ofthese structures. also, the usefulness of these structures is examined inthe framework of mechanical multiset proc...
