Spatial database systems and geographical information systems are currently only able to support geographical applications that deal with only crisp spatial objects, that is, objects whose extent, shape, and boundary are precisely determined. Examples are land parcels, school districts, and state territories. However, many new, emerging applications are interested in modeling and processing geo...

We propose a model of the household where the transmission mechanism between home appliances and women’s labor supply is identical to the one in Greenwood, Seshadri, and Yorukoglu (2005) with one important exception. We explicitly model firms’ pricing and output choices in the appliances sector and thus, the price of home appliances is determined endogenously by the laws of supply and demand ra...

Since upper and lower approximations could be induced from the rough set structures, rough sets are considered as approximations. The concept of fuzzy rough sets was proposed by replacing crisp binary relations with fuzzy relations by Dubois and Prade. In this paper, we introduce and investigate some properties of intuitionistic fuzzy rough approximation operators and intuitionistic fuzzy relat...

This article introduces interior and closure operators with inclusion degree considered within a crisp or fuzzy topological framework. First, inclusion degree is introduced in an extension of the interior and closure operators in crisp topology. This idea is then introduced in fuzzy topology by incorporating a relaxed version of fuzzy subsethood. The introduction of inclusion degree leads to a ...

in this paper, we present a revised similarity measure based onchen-and-chen's similarity measure for fuzzy risk analysis. the revisedsimilarity measure uses the corrected formulae to calculate the centre ofgravity points, therefore it is more  effective than the chen-and-chen'smethod. the revised similarity measure can overcome the drawbacks of theexisting methods. we have also proposed a new ...
