In this paper, the relationships between semicontinuity and preinvexity of fuzzy mappings are investigated. The concepts of intermediate-point preinvex fuzzy mappings and weakly preinvex fuzzy mappings are first introduced, and the authors establish a characterization for a weakly preinvex fuzzy mapping in terms of its epigraph. In this context, a characterization of a preinvex fuzzy mapping in...

The concept of upper and lower semicontinuity of fuzzy mappings introduced by Bao and Wu [Y.E. Bao, C.X. Wu, Convexity and semicontinuity of fuzzy mappings, Comput. Math. Appl., 51 (2006) 1809–1816] is redefined by using the concept of parameterized triples of fuzzy numbers. On the basis of the linear ordering of fuzzy numbers proposed by Goetschel and Voxman [R. Goetschel, W. Voxman, Elementar...

in this paper, we introduce the notion of an action $y_x$as a generalization of the notion of a module,and the notion of a norm $vt: y_xto f$, where $f$ is a field and $vartriangle(xy)vartriangle(y') =$ $ vartriangle(y)vartriangle(xy')$ as well as the notion of fuzzy norm, where $vt: y_xto [0, 1]subseteq {bf r}$, with $bf r$  the set of all real numbers. a great many standard mappings on algebr...

we use the basic binomial option pricing method but allow someor all the parameters in the model to be uncertain and model this uncertaintyusing fuzzy numbers. we show that with the fuzzy model we can, with areasonably small number of steps, consider almost all possible future stockprices; whereas the crisp model can consider only n + 1 prices after n steps.

Measurement results contain different kinds of uncertainty. Besides systematic errors andrandom errors individual measurement results are also subject to another type of uncertainty,so-called emph{fuzziness}. It turns out that special fuzzy subsets of the set of real numbers $RR$are useful to model fuzziness of measurement results. These fuzzy subsets $x^*$ are called emph{fuzzy numbers}. The m...

the importance as well as the diculty of the problem of ranking fuzzy numbers is pointed out. here we consider approaches to the ranking of fuzzy numbers based upon the idea of associating with a fuzzy number a scalar value, its signal/noise ratios, where the signal and the noise are dened as the middle-point and the spread of each a-cut of a fuzzy number, respectively. we use the value of a ...
