We characterize a fuzzy partial order relation using its level set, find sufficient conditions for the image of a fuzzy partial order relation to be a fuzzy partial order relation, and find sufficient conditions for the inverse image of a fuzzy partial order relation to be a fuzzy partial order relation. Also we define a fuzzy lattice as fuzzy relations, characterize a fuzzy lattice using its l...

We introduce a new notion of fuzzy r -interior which is an extension of Chang’s fuzzy interior. Using fuzzy r -interior, we define fuzzy r -semiopen sets and fuzzy r semicontinuous maps which are generalizations of fuzzy semiopen sets and fuzzy semicontinuous maps in Chang’s fuzzy topology, respectively. Some basic properties of fuzzy r -semiopen sets and fuzzy r -semicontinuous maps are invest...

Fuzzy decision tree induction algorithms require the fuzzy quantization of the input variables. This paper demonstrates that supervised fuzzy clustering combined with similarity-based rule-simplification algorithms is an effective tool to obtain the fuzzy quantization of the input variables, so the synergistic combination of supervised fuzzy clustering and fuzzy decision tree induction can be e...

The success and proliferation of the Semantic Web depends heavily on construction of Web ontologies. However, classical ontology construction approaches are not sufficient for handling imprecise and uncertain information that is commonly found in many application domains. Therefore, great efforts on construction of fuzzy ontologies have been made in recent years. In this paper, we propose a for...

The aim of this paper is to study monadic L-fuzzy quantifiers of the type 〈1〉 determined by fuzzy measures. These fuzzy quantifiers are defined using a novel notion of ⊗-fuzzy integral. Several semantic properties of these L-fuzzy quantifiers are studied. Keywords— fuzzy integral, fuzzy logic, fuzzy measure, fuzzy quantifier, generalized quantifier

The aim of this paper is to investigate the fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute decision making problems based on the fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy sets and Geometric Bonferroni mean operator. Then, we have proposed two aggregation operators: fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy geometric Bonferroni mean (FNIFGBM) operator and fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometr...

This paper is a survey of fuzzy set theory applied in cluster analysis. These fuzzy clustering algorithms have been widely studied and applied in a variety of substantive areas. They also become the major techniques in cluster analysis. In this paper, we give a survey of fuzzy clustering in three categories. The first category is the fuzzy clustering based on fuzzy relation. The second one is t...

in this paper, we introduce a considerable machinery which permits us to characterize a number of special (fuzzy) subsets in ag -groupoids. generalizing the concepts of (,q) -fuzzy bi-ideals (interior ideal), we define ( , ) k q -fuzzy bi-ideals, ( , ) k q -fuzzy left (right)-ideals and ( , ) k q -fuzzy interior ideals in ag -groupoids and discuss some fundamental aspects of these i...

in this note by considering a complete lattice l, we define thenotion of an l-fuzzy hyperrelation on a given non-empty set x. then wedefine the concepts of (pom)l-fuzzy graph, hypergraph and subhypergroupand obtain some related results. in particular we construct the categories ofthe above mentioned notions, and give a (full and faithful) functor form thecategory of (pom)l-fuzzy subhypergroups ...

recently, phiangsungnoen et al. [j. inequal. appl. 2014:201 (2014)] studied fuzzy mappings in the framework of hausdorff fuzzy metric spaces.following this direction of research, we establish the existence of fixed fuzzy points of fuzzy mappings. an example is given to support the result proved herein; we also present a coincidence and common fuzzy point result. finally, as an application of ou...
