Bipolarity has not been much exploited in the spatial domain yet, although it has many features to manage imprecise and incomplete information that could be interesting in this domain. This paper is a first step to address this issue, and we propose to define mathematical morphology operations on bipolar fuzzy sets (or equivalently interval valued fuzzy sets or intuitionistic fuzzy sets).

a new approach to define the similarity measure betweeninterval-valued fuzzy sets is presented. the proposed approach isbased on a weighted measure in which the normalized similaritiesbetween lower functions and also between upper functions arecombined by a weight parameter. the properties of this similaritymeasure are investigated. it is shown that, the proposed measurehas some advantages in c...

This paper introduces fuzzy clustering algorithms that can partition objects taking into account simultaneously their relational descriptions given by multiple dissimilarity matrices. The aim is to obtain a collaborative role of the different dissimilarity matrices to get a final consensus partition. These matrices can be obtained using different sets of variables and dissimilarity functions. T...

In 1965, Zadeh introduced the concept of fuzzy subsets. Latter many authors defined different directions of fuzzy subsets. Turksen (1986) generalized the concept of fuzzy set in terms of interval-valued fuzzy set (IVFS). Several researchers present a number of results using IVFSs. Using these concept of (IVFS) Pal and Shyamal (2006) introduced interval-valued fuzzy matrices and shown several pr...

in this note the notion of interval-valued fuzzy b-algebras (briefly,i-v fuzzy b-algebras), the level and strong level b-subalgebra is introduced.then we state and prove some theorems which determine the relationshipbetween these notions and b-subalgebras. the images and inverse images ofi-v fuzzy b-subalgebras are defined, and how the homomorphic images andinverse images of i-v fuzzy b-subalge...

We define interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-ideals, interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-quasi-ideals, interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-bi-ideals and characterize k-regular and k-intra regular hemirings by the properties of interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-ideals, interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-quasi-ideals and interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-bi-ideals. 2010 mathematics subject classification: 16Y60 • ...
