Further researching and development in the field of health and safety at work should be looking beyond traditional principles, on a quite new, innovative and contemporary approach. Changing the approach is natural, obvious and necessary regarding frequent technology improvement on all fields, emerging industrial facilities, big social, economical and demographic changes, as well as changes of w...

Answering a recent question posed by Gregori, Morillas and Sapena (“On a class of completable fuzzy metric spaces”, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 161 (2010), 2193–2205) we present two examples of non strong fuzzy metrics (in the sense of George and Veeramani).

in this paper, given a poset $(x,leq)$, we introduce some  drifts on a groupoid $(x,*)$ with respect to $(x,leq)$, and we obtain several properties of these drifts related to the notion of $bin(x)$. we discuss some connections between fuzzy subalgebras and upward drifts.

in this paper, we study an equivalence relation on the set of fuzzysubgroups of an arbitrary group g and give four equivalent conditions each ofwhich characterizes this relation. we demonstrate that with this equivalencerelation each equivalence class constitutes a lattice under the ordering of fuzzy setinclusion. moreover, we study the behavior of these equivalence classes under theaction of a...

Fuzzy PI controllers are using in the place of linear PI controller with success in process control, assuring better control quality criteria. The paper presents some methods, with a higher grade of generality, to design PI fuzzy controllers, to assure internal and external stability to control systems and better control quality criteria. Families of input-output transfer characteristics and ga...

We examine a linear programming problem formulation in which the constraint coefficients are not precisely given in the work. We investigate the possibility of applying GAs to solve this kind of fuzzy linear programming problem without defining membership functions for fuzzy numbers, using the extension principle, interval arithmetic, and α-cut operations for fuzzy computations, and using a pen...

The adoption of triangular fuzzy sets to define Strong Fuzzy Partitions (SFPs) is a common practice in the research community: due to their inherent simplicity, triangular fuzzy sets can be easily derived from data by applying suitable clustering algorithms. However, the choice of triangular fuzzy sets may be limiting for the modeling process. In this paper we focus on SFPs built up starting fr...
