In this paper, we shall give examples to answer that an open problem posed by De Baets et al. in “Triangular norms on product lattices (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 104(1999), 61-75)”.

Type-2 fuzzy sets were introduced by Zadeh in 1975 in a series of papers. The basic idea is to generalize the notion of ordinary fuzzy sets (type-1), a¤ording wider applicability. This paper gives a general overview of some of the mathematical aspects of type-2 fuzzy set theory, emphasizing precisely how type-2 generalizes type-1 and interval-valued fuzzy set theory. We will summarize the theor...

In this note, we show by counterexamples that some results of Qiu and colleagues [On the restudy of fuzzy complex analysis: Part I. The sequence and series of fuzzy complex numbers and their convergences, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 115 (2000) 445–450; On the restudy of fuzzy complex analysis: Part II.

Similarity and inclusion measures between type-2 fuzzy sets have a wide range of applications. New similarity and inclusion measures between type-2 fuzzy sets are respectively defined in this paper. The properties of the measures are discussed. Some examples are used to compare the proposed measures with the existing results. Numerical results show that the proposed measures are more reasonable...

In this paper we deal with the problem of extending Zadeh's operators on fuzzy sets (FSs) to interval-valued (IVFSs), set-valued (SVFSs) and type-2 (T2FSs) fuzzy sets. Namely, it is known that seeing FSs as SVFSs, or T2FSs, whose membership degrees are singletons is not order-preserving. We then describe a family of lattice embeddings from FSs to SVFSs. Alternatively, if the former singleton vi...

does not satisfy (EP), because for x = 0.3, y = 0.5 and z = 0.5 we get I (x, I (y, z)) = 0.7 = 0.5 = I (y, I (x, z)). The corrected last two rows are provided in Table 1 here. In both of these cases the natural negation NI is the classical negation NC(x) = 1 − x. One can easily check that the first function satisfies (I1) and it does not satisfy (EP), because for x = 0.3, y = 1 and z = 0, we ge...

In this work we solve an open problem of U.Höhle [Problem 11, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 145 (2004) 471-479]. We show that the solution gives a characterization of all conditionally cancellative t-subnorms. Further, we give an equivalence condition for a conditionally cancellativite t-subnorm to be a t-norm and hence show that conditionally cancellativite t-subnorms whose natural negations are stro...

Sign language recognition has spawned more and more interest in human–computer interaction society. The major challenge that SLR recognition faces now is developing methods that will scale well with increasing vocabulary size with a limited set of training data for the signer independent application. The automatic SLR based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) is very sensitive to gesture's shape inf...

The paper presents a novel type of fuzzy sets, called time-Varying Fuzzy Sets (VFS). These fuzzy sets are based on the Gaussian membership functions, they are depended on the error and they are characterized by the displacement of the kernels to both right and left side of the universe of discourse, the two extremes kernels of the universe are fixed for all time. In this work we focus only on t...
