a {em 2-rainbow dominating function} (2rdf) of a graph $g$ is a function $f$ from the vertex set $v(g)$ to the set of all subsets of the set ${1,2}$ such that for any vertex $vin v(g)$ with $f(v)=emptyset$ the condition $bigcup_{uin n(v)}f(u)={1,2}$ is fulfilled, where $n(v)$ is the open neighborhood of $v$. the {em weight} of a 2rdf $f$ is the value $omega(f)=sum_{vin v}|f (v)|$. the {em $2$-r...

In this paper, we deal with Molaei’s generalized groups. We definethe notion of a fuzzy generalized subgroup with respect to a t-norm (orT-fuzzy generalized subgroup) and give some related properties. Especially,we state and prove the Representation Theorem for these fuzzy generalizedsubgroups. Next, using the concept of continuity of t-norms we obtain a correspondencebetween TF(G), the set of ...

Fuzzy covering-based rough set models are hybrid models using both rough set and fuzzy set theory. The former is often used to deal with uncertain and incomplete information, while the latter is used to describe vague concepts. The study of fuzzy rough set models has provided very good tools for machine learning algorithms such as feature and instance selection. In this article, we discuss diff...

This paper describes a fuzzy union based approach for automatically evaluating machine generated extract summaries. The proposed method represents every sentence within a machine generated summary as a fuzzy set. Sentences in the reference summary are assigned membership grades in each of these fuzzy sets using cosine distance measure. Finally Fuzzy union (s-norm operation) is used to compute a...

The objective of this article is to develop an empirically based framework for formulating and selecting a vendor in supply chain. This study applies the fuzzy set theory to evaluate the vendor selection decision. Applying Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in obtaining criteria weights and applied Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Idea Solution (TOPSIS) for obtaining final ranking...

Uninorms as binary operations on the unit interval have been widely applied in the fuzzy set theory. This paper presents some 7 properties of uninorm-like operations for which the underlying operations are given by ordinal sums. If the underlying operations of a uninorm are given by ordinal sums, then the Cartesian product of the union of two arbitrary intervals (one in [0, e] and the other in ...

In our earlier work we have developed the axiomatic theory of the scalar cardinality of interval-valued fuzzy sets following Wygralak’s axiomatic theory of scalar cardinalities of fuzzy sets. The cardinality has been defined as a mapping from the set of interval-valued fuzzy sets with finite support to the set of closed subintervals of [0,+∞). We have shown that each scalar cardinality of inter...
