The hesitant fuzzy graph (HFG) is one of the most powerful tools to find strongest influential person in a network. Many problems practical interest can be modeled and solved by using HFG algorithms. HFGs, belonging FG family, have good capabilities when faced with that cannot expressed FGs. vague-valued (VVHFG) generalization HFG. A VVHFG useful tool various parts, such as meetings, conference...

Soft set theory, initiated by Molodtsov, can be used as a new mathematical tool for dealing with imprecise, vague, and uncertain problems. In this paper, the concepts of two types of generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set are proposed and their basic properties are studied. The lattice structures of generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set are also discussed. Furthermore, an application o...

Classical ontologies are not suitable to represent vague pieces of information, which has lead to the birth of Fuzzy Description Logics as an appropriate formalism to represent this type of knowledge. Different families of fuzzy operators lead to Fuzzy Description Logics with different properties. This paper studies Fuzzy Description Logics under a semantics given by the Gödel family of fuzzy o...

When the available information is imperfect, it is often desirable to represent it in the database, so that it can be used to answer queries of interest as much as possible. The data as well as query in data sources are often vague or imprecise (fuzzy). In this paper, a comprehensive classification of fuzzy data is done. This classification will be used as framework for understanding how fuzzy ...

Globalization of business and competitiveness in manufacturing has forced companies to improve their manufacturing facilities to respond to market requirements. Machine tool evaluation involves an essential decision using imprecise and vague information, and plays a major role to improve the productivity and flexibility in manufacturing. The aim of this study is to present an integrated approac...

The decision-making process is a key issue for most manufacturing and services organizations, and forms an essential part of the product design process. Indeed, designers are always confronted with the dilemma of choosing between different alternatives with different parameters, often expressed in fairly vague terms. For this reason, many tools have been proposed offering more and better ways t...

In this contribution a representation of imperfect spatial information is proposed based on linguistic qualifiers within fuzzy set theory and possibility theory. By adopting a Fuzzy Object Oriented Database approach new data types for representing geographic entities characterized by either unsharp boundaries or indeterminate boundaries and relationships are defined. Finally, the evaluation mec...

envelopment analysis (dea) is a very eective method to evaluate the relative eciency of decision-making units (dmus). dea models divided all dmus in two categories: ecient and inecientdmus, and don't able to discriminant between ecient dmus. on the other hand, the observedvalues of the input and output data in real-life problems are sometimes imprecise or vague, suchas interval data, ...
