The Cai δ-equality of fuzzy sets corresponds to the Lukasiewicz t-norm. In this paper we study the notion of (∗, δ)-equality, a concept which generalizes the δ-equality to the case of the fuzzy set theory based on an arbitrary continuous t-norm ∗. We investigate the robustness of some fuzzy implication operators in terms of (∗, δ)-equality.

Java requires objects’ hashcodes to be consistent with object equality, and to change only when an object’s equality changes. Equality dependent Java collections impose a stricter contextual contract on an objects’ equality, comparability, and hashcode methods: that they cannot change while those objects are in collections. By dynamically profiling 30 Java applications, we have determined that ...

Across four studies (n = 1,377) sampling White and Black Americans from the top and bottom of the national income distribution, participants overestimated progress toward Black-White economic equality, largely driven by estimates of greater current equality than actually exists acco...
