We study interior operators and interior structures in a fuzzy setting.We investigate systems of “almost open” fuzzy sets and the relationshipsto fuzzy interior operators and fuzzy interior systems.

Consensus is defined as a cooperative process in which a group of decision makers develops and agrees to support a decision in the best interest of the whole. It is a questioning process, more than an affirming process, in which the group members usually modify their choices until a high level of agreement within the group is achieved. Given the importance of forming an accepted decision by the...

in this note first by considering the notion of general fuzzy automata (for simplicity gfa), we define the notions of direct product, restricted direct product and join of two gfa. also, we introduce some operations on (fuzzy) sets and then prove some related theorems. finally we construct the general fuzzy recognizers and recognizable sets and give the notion of (trim) reversal of a given gfa....

ur aim of this  paper  is  to introduce the concept of $L$-double fuzzy rough sets in whichboth constructive and axiomatic approaches are used. In constructive approach, a pairof $L$-double fuzzy lower (resp. upper) approximation operators is defined  and the basic properties of them  are studied.From the viewpoint of the axiomatic approach, a set of axioms is constructed to characterize the $L...

Contrapositive symmetry (CPS) is a tautology in classical logic. In fuzzy logic, not all fuzzy implications have CPS with respect to a given strong negation. Given a fuzzy implication J , towards imparting contrapositive symmetry to J with respect to a strong negation N two techniques, viz., upper and lower contrapositivisation, have been proposed by Bandler and Kohout [Semantics of implication...

The comparison of protein structures is an important problem in bioinformatics. As a protein biological role is derived from its three dimensional native state, the comparison of a new protein structure (with unknown function) with other protein structures (with known biological activity) can shed light into the biological role of the former. Consequently, advances in the comparison (and cluste...

Words mean different things to different people, and so are uncertain. We, therefore, need a fuzzy set model for a word that has the potential to capture their uncertainties. In this paper I propose that an interval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2 FS) be used as a FS model of a word, because it is characterized by its footprint of uncertainty (FOU), and therefore has the potential to capture word uncerta...

in this paper, by means of fuzzy approaches, an accurate method is introduced for edging of color photographs. the difference between our method with other similar methods is the use of a morphological operation to think or thick the obtained edges. in this proposed method, a 3×3 window is dragged on the photo. for each block, 12 point sets will be defined, each including two non-overlapping po...
