The comparison of protein structures is an important problem in bioinformatics. As a protein biological role is derived from its three dimensional native state, the comparison of a new protein structure (with unknown function) with other protein structures (with known biological activity) can shed light into the biological role of the former. Consequently, advances in the comparison (and cluste...

Words mean different things to different people, and so are uncertain. We, therefore, need a fuzzy set model for a word that has the potential to capture their uncertainties. In this paper I propose that an interval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2 FS) be used as a FS model of a word, because it is characterized by its footprint of uncertainty (FOU), and therefore has the potential to capture word uncerta...

in this paper, by means of fuzzy approaches, an accurate method is introduced for edging of color photographs. the difference between our method with other similar methods is the use of a morphological operation to think or thick the obtained edges. in this proposed method, a 3×3 window is dragged on the photo. for each block, 12 point sets will be defined, each including two non-overlapping po...

In this paper, countable compactness and the Lindel¨of propertyare defined for L-fuzzy sets, where L is a complete de Morgan algebra. Theydon’t rely on the structure of the basis lattice L and no distributivity is requiredin L. A fuzzy compact L-set is countably compact and has the Lindel¨ofproperty. An L-set having the Lindel¨of property is countably compact if andonly if it is fuzzy compact. ...

In recent times, intuitionistic fuzzy sets introduced by Atanassov has been one of the most powerful and flexible approaches for dealing with complex and uncertain situations of real world. In particular, the concept of divergence between intuitionistic fuzzy sets is important since it has applications in various areas such as image segmentation, decision making, medical diagnosis, pattern reco...

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFS) are defined as pairs of mutually orthogonal fuzzy sets. We discuss this approach from an algebraic point of view. As a result we characterize two implication operators on the collection of IFS, which on a particular subset of IFS behave as a Lukasiewicz and a Gödel implication.

Nowadays, picture fuzzy set theory is a flourishing field in mathematics with uncertainty by incorporating the concept of positive, negative and neutral membership degrees an object. A traditional crisp relation represents satisfaction or dissatisfaction relationship, connection correspondence between objects two more sets. However, there are some problems that can’t be solved through classical...
