We propose a new measure for analyzing the structural similarities among the cognitive maps of different decision makers. Upon interpreting the cognitive response elicitation process in the general framework of fuzzy set theory, we are able to develop the similarity measure from straightforward operations on fuzzy relational products. In addition to the mathematical analysis, we present visual ...

This paper focuses on the Rule Based Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (RB-FCM) potential to model the dynamics of qualitative real-world systems that include feedback links. It presents a general overview of RB-FCM and proposes a set of possible concepts and relations. It also provides guidelines to introduce time as an important qualitative entity in cognitive maps.

composting as one of the municipal solid waste management strategies aims to reduce size and weight of excreted substances, to abate odor and leachate, increase resource recovery and reduce the cost of disposal. environmental impact assessment (eia) of compost plants is required for compliance with laws and regulations. eia is one of the effective methods to protect environment. the aim of this...

This paper proposes fuzzy modeling using obtained data. Fuzzy system is known as knowledge-based or rule-bases system. The most important part of fuzzy system is rule-base. One of problems of generation of fuzzy rule with training data is inconsistence data. Existence of inconsistence and uncertain states in training data causes high error in modeling. Here, Probability fuzzy system presents to...

In this paper, we studied the problems faced by construction workers in West Bengal in order to find its solutions using neutrosophic cognitive maps, which is the generalization of fuzzy cognitive maps. Florentin Smarandache and Vasantha Kandasamy studied neutrosophic cognitive map which is an extension of fuzzy cognitive map by incorporating indeterminacy. Construction sector plays a major rol...

in this paper a first step in classifying the fuzzy normalsubgroups of a finite group is made. explicit formulas for thenumber of distinct fuzzy normal subgroups are obtained in theparticular cases of symmetric groups and dihedral groups.

We formulate a stopping problem for dynamic fuzzy systems concerning with fuzzy decision environment. It could be regarded as a natural fuzzification of non-fuzzy stopping problem with a deterministic dynamic system. The validity of the approach by α-cuts of fuzzy sets will be discussed in constructing One-step Look Ahead policy of an optimal fuzzy stopping time. A numerical example is given to...
