Fuzzy Mathematics has seen an enormous growth since the introduction of notion of fuzzy sets by Zadeh in 1965. Kramosil and Michalek introduced the notion of fuzzy metric spaces which was later modified by George and Veeramani and others. The notion of intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces was introduced by Park in 2004. Many authors have studied fixed point and common fixed theorems for mappings ...

The compositional rule of inference (CRI) introduced by Zadeh is widely used in approximate reasoning schemes using fuzzy sets. In this work we show that the Bandler-Kohout subproduct does possess all the important properties such as equivalent and reasonable conditions for their solvability, their interpolative properties and the preservation of the indistinguishability that may be inherent in...

A ternary semigroup is a nonempty set together with a ternary multiplication which is associative. Any semigroup can be reduced to a ternary semigroup but a ternary semigroup does not necessarily reduce to a semigroup. The notion of fuzzy sets was introduced by Zadeh in 1965 and that of rough sets by Pawlak in 1982. Applications of the fuzzy set theory and rough set theory have been found in va...

Starting from the pioneering publication of Lot Zadeh in 1965 [55], fuzzy sets have been applied to many elds in which uncertainty plays a key role. Medicine, often on the borderline between science and art, is an excellent exponent: vagueness, linguistic uncertainty, hesitation, measurement imprecision, natural diversity, subjectivity { all these are prominently present in medical diagnosis. W...

In this paper, we study countably compact fuzzy sets using the definition of C. K. Wong [10] and obtain its several properties. 1. Introduction The concept of fuzzy set and fuzzy set operations were first introduced by L. A. Zadeh [11] in1965. Several other mathematicians studied fuzzy sets in various areas in mathematics. Firstly, C. L. Chang [2] in 1968 developed the theory of fuzzy topologic...

Fuzzy Description Logics (fuzzy DLs) have been proposed as a language to describe structured knowledge with vague concepts. In [23], a solution based on Mixed Integer Linear Programming has been proposed to deal with fuzzy DLs under Łukasiewicz semantics in which typical membership functions, such as triangular and trapezoidal functions, can be explicitly represented in the language. A major th...

The September issue of Obesity featured articles by Tobias and Hu (1) and Flegal and Kalantar-Zadeh (2) that explored the observation that, in clinical populations, such as individuals with heart failure, chronic kidney disease, or diabetes, those with higher BMI often have lower mortality rates than leaner individuals. The articles disagree whether this phenomenon, known as the obesity paradox...

In [1], Hamzeh, Iranmanesh Hossein-Zadeh and M. V. Diudea recently introduced the generalized degree distance of graphs. In this paper, we present explicit formulas for this new graph invariant of the Cartesian product, composition, join, disjunction and symmetric difference of graphs and introduce generalized and modified generalized degree distance polynomials of graphs, such that their first...

The blind separation problem of linear time-dependent mixtures is addressed in this paper. We have developed a new algorithm based on the minimization of the mutual information as well as a penalized term which ensures an a priori normalization of the estimated sources (outputs) and so, avoids the scale indeterminacy. The criterion minimization is done using a well-known gradient approach. Fina...

he fuzzy set introduced by L.A.Zadeh [16] in 1965 and the rough set introduced by Pawlak [12] in 1982 are generalizations of the classical set theory. Both these set theories are new mathematical tool to deal the uncertain, vague, imprecise and inexact data. In Zadeh fuzzy set theory, the degree of membership of elements of a set plays the key role, whereas in Pawlak rough set theory, the equiv...
