Automatic extraction of collocations from a corpus is a well-known problem in the field of natural language processing. It is typically carried out by employing some kind of a statistical measure that indicates whether or not two words occur together more often than by chance. A fuzzy set theoretic approach for extracting collocations from a text collection is described in this article. This ap...

Bi-level programming techniques are developed to handle decentralized problems with two-level decision makers, leaders and followers, who may have more than one objective to achieve. This paper proposes a λ-cut and goal programming based algorithm to solve fuzzy linear multiple objective bi-level (FLMOB) decision problems. First, based on the definition of a distance measure between two fuzzy v...

an efficient flood alarm system may significantly improve public safety and mitigate damages caused by inundation. flood forecasting is undoubtedly a challenging field of operational hydrology and a huge literature has been developed over the years. in this paper, we first define ordered ideal intuitionistic fuzzy sets and establish some results on them. then, we define similarity measures betw...

The notions of an ideal and a fuzzy ideal in BN-algebras are introduced. The properties and characterizations of them are investigated. The concepts of normal ideals and normal congruences of a BN-algebra are also studied, the properties of them are displayed, and a one-to-one correspondence between them is presented. Conditions for a fuzzy set to be a fuzzy ideal are given. The relationships b...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of doubt intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebras and doubt intuitionistic fuzzy ideals in BCK/BCI-algebras. We show that an intuitionistic fuzzy subset of BCK/BCI-algebras is an intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra and an intuitionistic fuzzy ideal if and only if the complement of this intuitionistic fuzzy subset is a doubt intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra and a doubt...

The notions of a S fuzzy ∧ sub semi lattice, a S fuzzy ideal and a S fuzzy prime ideal of a bounded lattice with truth values in a bounded ∧ sub semi lattice S are introduced which generalize the existing notions with truth values in a unit interval of real numbers. Finally, S fuzzy prime ideal theorem is proved. 2010 AMS Classification: 03G10, 46H10, 06D50, 08A72

As a link between classical soft sets and hesitant fuzzy sets, the notion of hesitant fuzzy soft sets is introduced and applied to a decision making problem in the papers by Babitha and John (2013) and Wang et al. (2014). The aim of this paper is to apply hesitant fuzzy soft set for dealing with several kinds of theories in BCK/BCI-algebras. The notions of hesitant fuzzy soft subalgebras and (c...
