This paper first presents a simple explanation for the min/max bounds which are used in interval probability theory ( I n ) [l], possibility theory [2], fuzzy rough sets [4], and vague logic [ 5 ] . Based on this definition, a computable version of first-order fuzzy logic is defined, where all of the upper bounds for instances of a theorem and its negation are guaranteed to eventually be listed...

It is firstly proved that the multi-input-single-output (MISO) fuzzy systems based on interval-valued $R$- and $S$-implications can approximate any continuous function defined on a compact set to arbitrary accuracy.  A formula to compute the lower upper bounds on the number  of interval-valued fuzzy sets needed to achieve a pre-specified approximation  accuracy for an arbitrary multivariate con...

This paper presents a general framework for the study of rough set approximation operators in fuzzy environment in which both constructive and axiomatic approaches are used. In constructive approach, a pair of lower and upper generalized fuzzy rough (and rough fuzzy, respectively) approximation operators is first defined. The representations of both fuzzy rough approximation operators and rough...

This paper further studies the fuzzy rough sets based on fuzzy coverings. We first present the notions of the lower and upper approximation operators based on fuzzy coverings and derive their basic properties. To facilitate the computation of fuzzy coverings for fuzzy covering rough sets, the concepts of fuzzy subcoverings, the reducible and intersectional elements, the union and intersection o...

In this paper we consider the problem of delay-dependent robustH1 control for uncertain fuzzy systems with time-varying delay. The Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is used to describe such systems. Time-delay isassumed to have lower and upper bounds. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskiifunctional method, a sufficient condition for the existence of a robust $H_{infty}$controller is obtained. The fuzz...

The relationship of sinusoidal smooth pursuit defects to pursuit defects with step-ramp targets in patients with cerebral lesions is unclear. We examined pursuit and saccades to both step-ramp and sinusoidal targets in 17 patients with unilateral cerebral lesions. Two types of pursuit defects were found. One group of three patients had ipsi-directional sinusoidal pursuit defects from lesions to...

In this paper, we present some results on weak laws of large numbers for weighted sums of fuzzy random variables taking values in the space of normal and upper-semicontinuous fuzzy sets with compact support in a separable real Banach space. First, we give weak laws of large numbers for weighted sums of strong-compactly uniformly integrable fuzzy random variables. Then, we consider the case that...

This paper studies probability problems of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and the belief structure of general intuitionistic fuzzy information systems. First, for some special intuitionistic fuzzy sets, a probability is defined by using the integral operations on the level sets, and its properties are discussed. Then using this probability, a mass function of an intuitionistic fuzzy information syst...

in this paper, a location allocation (la) problem in construction and demolition (c&d;) waste management (wm) is studied. a bi-level model for this problem under a fuzzy random environment is presented where the upper level is the governments who sets up the processing centers, and the lower level are the administrators of different construction projects who control c&d; waste and the after tre...
