Hirsch’s h-index seeks to give a single number that in some sense summarizes an author’s research output and its impact. Essentially, the h-index seeks to identify the most productive core of an author’s output in terms of most received citations. This most productive set we refer to as the Hirsch core, or h-core. Jin’s A-index relates to the average impact, as measured by the average number of...

Gupta and Ray (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 54 (1993) 191) introduced the notion of fuzzy projective planes. We show that an old theorem of Dembowski classi$es all $nite fuzzy projective planes, that the examples in Gupta and Ray (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 54 (1993) 191) arise from ordinary projective planes and have much easier descriptions that can easily be generalized, and that there exist fuzzy pro...

A preliminary analysis of the posbist reliability of typical system structures was provided by Cai et al. [Fuzzy Sets and Systems 42: 145–172 (1991) and Microelectronics and Reliability 35(1): 49–56 (1995)]. In this paper, we provide a detailed analysis of the posbist reliability of k-out-of-n:G system structures. Expressions of the posbist reliability of k-out-of-n:G system is developed. It is...

The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) was constructed between 1974 and 1977 in response to the 1973 oil crisis. It conveys oil from Prudhoe Bay in northern Alaska to the port of Valdez in the southeast, a distance of over 800 miles (1,300 km). Building the pipeline system meant dealing with a multiplicity of complex design and management decisions that involved engineering, environmental, pol...

This is a summary of our article published in Fuzzy Sets and Systems [1] (JCR Impact Factor 2014: 1.986) to Multi-Conference CAEPIA15 KeyWorks.

Citation classics identify those highly cited papers which are an important reference point in a research field. Identifying citation classics in a research field is one of the main approaches used to conduct a systematic evaluation of research performance. Highly cited articles are interesting due to the potential association between high citation counts and high quality research. The aim of t...

Recently, two types of simulations (forward and backward simulations) and four types of bisimulations (forward, backward, forward-backward, andbackward-forwardbisimulations) between fuzzyautomatahavebeen introduced. If there is at least one simulation/bisimulation of some of these types between the given fuzzy automata, it has been proved that there is the greatest simulation/bisimulation of th...

Recently, Fullér et al. [Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 2010] introduced a new f -weighted index of interactivity, ρf (A,B), between marginal possibility distributions A and B of a joint possibility distribution C for any weighting function f . They also left two open questions in connection with the lower limit for f -weighted possibilistic correlation coefficient related to the improved index of int...

Atanassov (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 20 (1986) 87-96) defined basic operations over the intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Here we shall introduce two operations, subtraction and division, derived from the deconvolution for equations using addition and multiplication operations, respectively. In addition, we shall give some conditions to examine the correctness regarding the defined operations. The remark...

New types of systems of fuzzy relation inequalities and equations, called weakly linear, have been recently introduced in [J. Ignjatović, M. Ćirić, S. Bogdanović, On the greatest solutions to weakly linear systems of fuzzy relation inequalities and equations, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 161 (2010) 3081–3113.]. The mentioned paper dealt with homogeneous weakly linear systems, composed of fuzzy relati...
