This paper is devoted to introduce an axiomatic model to distinguish what functions are suitable for measuring the degree of contradiction between two Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets. After stating the needed background, in section 2, we justify and present the axioms that a contradiction measure must satisfy, and the first examples are set out. After motivating the necessity of achieving...

This paper is a contribution to the development of an ontology of conflict. In particular, we single out and we study a peculiar notion of group conflict, that we suggestively label ‘social contradiction’. In order to do so, we shall introduce and discuss the methodology of social choice theory, since it allows for defining the notion of collective attitude that may emerge from a number of poss...

in this paper, heir-equations method is applied to investigate nonclassical symmetries and new solutions of the black-scholes equation. nonlinear self-adjointness is proved and infinite number of conservation laws are computed by a new conservation laws theorem.

The present study intended to compare the complaint responses used by President Rouhani and President Obama in the Iranian and US news interview contexts. For this purpose, Boxer’s (1993) six types of indirect complaint responses were adopted: ‘ignorance’, ‘questions’, ‘topic switch’, ‘contradiction’, ‘joke/teasing’, ‘advice/lecture’ and ‘agreement/commiseration’.
